Snooky:
Fox’s New Reality Show Based on Unemployment

Fox’s new reality show will allow employees to fire fellow colleagues.

Fox was inspired by the current economy to create a new reality show where employees of small businesses get to decide which of their colleagues will get fired.

Someone’s Gotta Go will feature different companies that need to downsize and let the employees choose who gets laid off after getting access to human resource files, which disclose their salaries, and discussing their decisions face to face, RealityTVWorld.com reports.

According to the Associated Press, the chosen employer will get a “small severance” after being fired. Mike Darnell, the chief of alternative programming at Fox, sees the show as employee empowerment, the AP reports.

“I feel that it’s a part of the times that we are living in,” Darnell said, explaining that it’s “no worse” than watching the news and hearing the statistics about what’s happening.

“When someone is arbitrarily let go the first reaction usually is ‘How come that person was fired when another idiot is still here?’” Darnell said. “This finally gives employees a chance to make that decision instead of a boss.”

There is currently no air date for the show and no information on whether the participants are getting paid.
