Howard Stern Show staff ‘fight for more severance pay’

After current layoffs from the Howard Stern Show, many of the staff who acquired severance packages declined them after they allegedly amounted to at least one week of pay per yr labored.

An alleged non-disclosure settlement (NDA) was connected to the packages, however some staff did not signal them as they requested for more cash, one insider claimed. Earlier this month, SiriusXM issued layoffs to some staff of the famed radio host’s present after it was revealed that the station’s marquee expertise would do only one live present per week.

“Some people are still negotiating their exit packages,” a source told the US Sun. Another source claims that others had been in a position to negotiate more cash after a back-and-forth with SiriusXM’s HR executives.

Responses to the layoffs have been blended with some staff being caught off guard while others reportedly said “the writing was on the wall.” The source added, “Staff knew these layoffs were coming.”

More than a dozen staffers had been let go, including 5 on-air hosts like Rogers. The present veteran took to LinkedIn to announce the news earlier this week, writing, “After 16 incredible years with The Howard Stern Show and the Howard Stern Channels, I’m opening a new chapter.”

“I got to interview people I grew up admiring, direct live broadcasts in real time, and mentor some seriously talented producers along the way,” he continued. “To everybody I labored with over these 16 years: thanks. What a experience.”

Stern has a locked-in contract with SiriusXM via 2028, however many followers of the Stern present have been canceling their subscriptions amid the title host asserting the present can be decreased to as soon as per week. Stern and his main co-host, Robin Quivers, began together on the radio in March 1981 before working their manner up and finally making a $500 million transfer to Sirius in 2006.

Since then, Stern’s present schedule has been whittled down over the years, from 4 days per week to a few, and the most current announcement of a once-a-week, three-hour present.

At this time, Stern is on his prolonged summer time hiatus; however, when he returns in September, followers will experience his scaled-down schedule.
