So their Core Values are restricting Free Speech, Greed, and Sexual Deviancy.
ALL DIRTY JEW PIG VALUES AND YOU WONDER WHY THE USA IS IN THE TOILET!
BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT FOREVER !...............
ESPN is only part of the problem, NCAA is so greedy,that my grandpa can't even watch a bowl game without cable. That's just not right. You hate to see anyone get laid off especially since it won't who should ie: Berman,Herbstreit,Corso, Ray Lewis,Mike &Mike. I boycotted ESPN long ago and am glad the didn't get the UFC. They have ruined my love of sports with the over analyzation.
ESPN is garbage in garbage out mickey mouse BULLS......
Their recent decision to broadcast college football bowl games only on their crappy channel is just another reason to turn away from the destruction and watering down of football.
This is one small step for Disney, one giant leap for ESPN
Hey douchebag, ESPN is a division of Disney. There are 180,000 employees at Disney and 350 positions can be eliminated through attrition in probably a few months. Unlike WFM the company isn't laying off people to maintain a feudal system of 12 regional overpaid overlords and their fiefdoms, isn't firing people to cover mismanagement while trying to rapidly grow over the next few years, and isn't making thousands of people compete against each other so they can have their pay slashed while doing three times the work. It isn't replacing programming with dead air akin to empty shelves, isn't changing its prices every five minutes or promising events it can't deliver on like tripling the number of outlets. It also never claimed to be changing the world like Glenda did when she tried to make excuses for unsustainable growth.
There is a clear difference here. ESPN provided notice of 60 days in addition to a severance and placement services. Their message said they WILL be laying folks off and explained why, quite clearly. WFM, on the other hand, chopped people without warning or explanation and executed the decision very poorly. The severance is nice if you've been here awhile, but the package is hard to understand and (again) executed poorly, with some people being allowed to defer their decision and others forced to either sign and leave or reapply for their job or another within a week or even a few days. Furthermore the ad campaign and so called love fest at the same time was very distasteful. While those at ESPN have a right to be angry, they don't seem to be. I think that's because they didn't say one thing and do another.
I hate ESPN.
Probably not a lot of anger on the ESPN layoff page because they understand that they work for a business. Layoffs happen. They probably got less severance pay than I did and they aren't crying.
Yeah a whole of anger coming from ESPN folks....only 1 post over at the ESPN Layoff page.
espn doesnt sell "whole-trade sports" nor do they have marine stewardship values fishing shows...and i doubt they have the same b.s about core values and the timely little fund drives to teach the third world about the ponzi scheme that is "banking"...
ESPN doesn't use the same rhetoric as Whole Foods, so this topic is insanely dumb. If ESPN used "core values" and "team member happiness" then maybe you have a point.
I hate sports
I hate cable
No posts on layoff, I guess they had no clue

An ESPN representative declined to comment on Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day Bloomberg News reported that up to 350 employees, or 4.3% of its 8,000 positions, will be affected.
I already boycott ESPN..
