Default NBC Fires Matt Lauer

Filed under: Men Behaving Badly.

Quote:
Matt Lauer was fired from NBC News on Wednesday after an employee filed a complaint about "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace," the network announced.

Savannah Guthrie made the announcement at the top of the "Today" show, where Lauer has been an anchor for two decades.

NBC News chairman Andrew Lack said in a memo to staff that it was the first complaint lodged against Lauer in his career at the network. But he said "we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident."

Wow.

Hearing that the NYT had been investigating him for a while.

I've heard for years that he's a real jerk, but had never heard there was any actual sexual harassment.

If Lauer can be fired this quickly, no one is safe.

"Mainstream" media is disintegrating before our eyes. A spicy joke at the office 20-years ago will now get you fired!

Lauer has a reputation as a serial cheater. So, it does nor surprise me in the least that the show has dropped on him.

Glad I'm retired and no longer have to navigate the unreasonable sensitivity required at today's workplace.
