Default Fox orders real-life 'Someone's Gotta go' layoff competition series

The working title for the unscripted, hour-long series is "Someone's Gotta Go."

This is television worth 'going postal' over!? I cannot imagine that a small business would turn all of its personnel records over to FAUX hacks - could any business survive after this was broadcast? Would you shop at/use any business that treated its employees like that?

It is just too much for words (but I could go on and on)!

That is terrible. If I had to accept my laying-off with television cameras in my face, I wouldn't sign the release. That was a terrible experience, and I wouldn't want half the free world watching me try to pretend it didn't matter. I hope people boycott.
