'I was not as angry for myself as I was for the people who were working by the hour who now have to go out with businesses closing down and look for jobs.' Kevin Ryder called in to Adam Corolla's podcast to discuss last week's mass firing
, which posted Monday, to discuss last week's mass firing. Ryder had tweeted on Wednesday that the entire morning show of the Los Angeles-based radio station had been fired, putting an end to an era on KROQ; he had been with the station for more than 30 years.
Management then told him "because of the coronavirus, no one will notice. Let's just not mention it, and it will go away. [I thought], OK, that makes no sense." "I was not as angry for myself as I was for the people who were working by the hour who now have to go out with businesses closing down [due to the coronavirus pandemic] and look for jobs," he said. "Strangely, I made peace with [losing my job]. It was a really crappy way to handle things, but what about the people who were working hour to hour and there was no reason to fire them? It made no sense to me.
"The fact that they fired these low-paid people just as this horrible plague descends upon us — that is horrible and I hope they have enough integrity they they are ashamed of themselves," Kimmel said.Ryder noted that he'd texted his former co-host,about the firings, and Baxter had been incredulous, though the two haven't spoken about it over the phone.
