[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 438539, member: 495"] I look at it this way. Let’s say I’ve been working for a company for eight years, and in the last year, sales have dropped off. Management has decided that they’re going to revamp the product offering, and that will involve some of my colleagues leaving. They’ve confidentially shared the news with me and asked me to continue. I’m not going to tell people that their jobs are ending; that’s the job of management. And my manager would be angry with me if I took it upon myself to spread that news, leaving them to deal with the fallout. But I appreciate your perspective. And It’s possible John viewed them as colleagues first, and Joyce viewed themselves as friends first, and that’s why she was upset with him. I never saw anything in the press that showed John being super tight with his former colleagues after the show over, FWIW. None of them ever appeared with him on his other series. [/QUOTE]
