Don’t make for a good reality tv show, so let’s pit them against each other in a show called Someone’s gotta go!, as explained on 24 Oranges:
[…] Endemol’s Paul Römer explains that the programme will follow a mid-sized company that has been hit hard by the economic crisis. People will have to be fired there.
“We start by showing everybody’s salaries. After that we show which employees are valuable to the company. And who’s shirking their responsibilities. Who deserves a raise? Who deserves lower wages? And ultimately the employees must answer the question: who must be fired?”
Yes, another great Endemol export product, from the people that gave the world Big Brother. Guess which American broadcaster already ordered this show? That’s right, Fox….
In some way you have to admire whoever thought up this monstrosity, as it brilliantly portrays modern day capitalism: get peons to fight each other for the dubious right to keep their job a little longer and make a lot of money doing this….
