Fox To Make Reality Show Out Of People's Misery

The Fox network is letting employees of some troubled small businesses decide which one of their colleagues will be laid off and turning the results into a reality show. The series, "Someone's Gotta Go," is in production, but Fox wouldn't say on Wednesday when it would go on the air. Each episode will feature a company with about 15 or 20 employees that needs to cut costs because of the economy. Instead of the boss deciding who is fired, the company will open its books to show everyone's salaries and let the employees make the call. In an inverse to "The Apprentice," the chosen one loses, instead of gets, a job.
Fox says the laid-off worker will get a small severance, but isn't saying whether the network or producers are paying the participants in anything beyond the chance for prime-time fame.

I really don't believe that televising people losing their jobs is entertaining especially since every month the unemployment rates go up and there are so many people looking for work. You stay classy, Fox. source
