Let’s say for arguments sake he was fired. We don’t know if this video was the sole reason or it was the last straw. If I were in charge of TVMG I can assure you I would have a policy that all employees must clear with corporate any posted videos involving TV. Any employees posting without permission are subject to dismissal. I would be shocked if that wasn’t his employer’s policy. If I did something similar about my employer, I would be gone. My policy manual is very clear in this area.
Personally, I thought the video helped TV sales. I’m not one for the group dancing, but I do like to see how lively the place is. I visited a 55+ comm. recently (in another State) and it truly had the feel of a retirement home, not good. At 54 this video made TV more appealing to me. However, if I was a current resident of TV, I might not be happy with the statement:
“Also if you’re living in what appears to be a cult, sometimes you have to drink the Kool-Aid.”
Before all the comments start. Yes, I know, all in fun, I get it. And yes he has the constitutional right to say whatever he wants. But no one has a constitutional right to a job with The Villages Media Group. If he was fired, I’m sure he’ll get back on his feet soon and find new employment.
To the Developers rep that monitors TOTV: The guy didn’t hurt sales, he may have actually helped. I will still be flying in this weekend and talking with TV Sales, see - the video didn’t scare me away
