I hope they are able to be honest about their thoughts and not have to be so corporate like Miller and TC had to do.Glad cooler heads prevailed and thankful for local radio!
Curious if any of the 6 fired already had offers elsewhere and considered not returning.

Or at least what stage of processing you got too. From being heartbroken to coming to terms with it. I think it would be hard for me if I had come to accept what happened to being offered my job back. I suppose it is different in that this was such a team dynamic.
Similarly, do you feel pressure to stay since there was so much demand to get the position back. I don't think any of these 6 should feel any obligation to stay, but they probably feel some obligation to the public.
Good on you for weighing the options and knowing what’s important for you and your family. It had to have been hard to keep a level head in the whirlwind of those few days.I have nothing to hide. I was already considering 2-3 other opportunities that were presented to me the day this all went down. First and foremost, CF is has always been my "day job" and priority/how I feed my family.
I won't speak for the others, but I considered not coming back and did not accept the offer right away.
But for how this all went down, I felt like I owed it to our audience to give it another run. And, I really love working with Ross. Going to FM was huge for me and as I will tell you guys about in coming weeks, the management there gave me some great reasons to come back too that will really enhance time with family, which was critical for me. Those two little girls of my absolutely own my heart.
At the end of the day, I really love my boss there, Joel McCrea, like a work dad. I trust him. He didn't want to fire me the other day. His hands were tied. I knew that. The public spoke up, his hands became untied and he came back to us and admitted to making a mistake. I actually really respect how it played out.
But yeah, the stages were crazy. I was finally moving on and then the offer to come back came and left me very confused for a while.
I'm excited to get back. Appreciate all of your support.

I went through the same fire/rehire scenario on three separate occassions. However, to be honest, I knew their ignorance in firing me would quickly come back to haunt them as I had a unique technological advantage which they simply could not fill. Furthermore, I make it a life practice to quantify in dollars the value I provide to my employer. And, with that, how far ahead they are because of me. The person who fired me, was quickly dismissed themself which brought about my rehire.
