Juno News - After getting fired, Rachel Gilmore recorded and posted the conversation she had with CTV

00:00:00.000 So I guess she recorded the conversation where she got fired.

00:00:03.200 And of course, because everything she does, she does it for clicks.

00:00:06.080 So she uploaded this.

00:00:07.560 Let's play this clip and hear what that sounded like.

00:00:10.560 I have to say, I knew that you had that troll base and I knew that you would get, you know, some sort of reaction.

00:00:17.160 But I really did not realize the extent of the volume of that pushback that we had.

00:00:23.460 My goal as the EP for the show is I just want to do election coverage.

00:00:27.220 Yeah, 100%.

00:00:28.060 just you know it's a critical election for canadians we've got trump we've got terrorists

00:00:31.980 we've got crazy amounts of information coming in we just want to be able to get back to people

00:00:37.180 but the who we're talking to is kind of drowning out the what we're talking about right now

00:00:45.180 um and i don't feel like we have the bandwidth to deal with it so uh i i feel terrible about

00:00:52.220 doing this but i'm just gonna call down the segment that we were planning to do with you

00:00:56.860 because i just don't think we have the bandwidth to be able to keep the focus where we need to

00:01:03.020 i don't know about you mario i don't know if you've ever been fired from a job but i don't

00:01:06.940 understand the impulse to record like probably a personally devastating conversation and then

00:01:12.060 instantly put it out i guess to get sympathy i i don't quite understand why maybe this is like a

00:01:17.420 trend uh online that people like to record themselves getting fired and then share it

00:01:21.740 to get sympathy um what do you what do you make of that honestly when you're trying to make

00:01:29.020 your career as a social media person you're trying to be this credible person as a journalist you

00:01:37.980 have been given this opportunity there's more elegant ways of parting ways and this i believe

00:01:45.900 is the absolute worst thing you could possibly do like i don't understand how it makes any sort of

00:01:49.980 sense imagine and it's no different than an nba player if an nba player says you know uh f this

00:01:55.900 team f the coach f these people and you're a problem no one's gonna want you
