Lots of feedback from yesterday’s article on Fidago v Clear Channel Outdoor. Several readers wrote that the relationship between epilepsy and covid is more complicated than we presented. Some medicines which control epilepsy can affect the immune system and people with epilepsy may have other neurological issues impacting immunity. Best to let a medical specialist decide the issue.
Many readers suggested that the layoff timeline doesn’t add up. Two years of good performance reviews and then two months later a needs improvement and then a month later a termination… There’s a lesson here. If you have a process for performance reviews and identifying performance which needs improved you need to follow it and build up a decent personnel file and give someone an opportunity to improve before termination to avoid disputes.

Good idea to back away from the epilepsy/COVID conclusion. Performance plans can be abused easily and it appears that was the case here with what this Joseph Plott did. Curious to see how Clear Channel and Scott Wells handle these employees still with the company…thanks for the follow-up.
Being that this Joe Lui person was the Finance guru at Clear Channel Airports and Scott Wadsworth was the SVP of Procurement and Operations at Clear Channel Outdoor, they could have stopped this nonsense from happening, right? Had they only had the guts.
