To say that she was fired would mean the her contract would not have been accepted under any circumstances. As the case was, a contract was offered to her. It was up to her to accept the terms and submit the signed contract. If she had done so, her contract would have been accepted, and she would have remained on the show.
I would make a guess that the terms for her contract were no more or less reasonable than the terms of everyone else's contracts. And by that, I mean that there was nothing in her contract that was explicitly intended to keep her from signing.
She, however, had requested a change to the terms of the contract. Even with that, though, if she had signed the original, it would have been accepted.
By that, I reason very clearly that she was not fired. No fine line, no misleading details, no technicalities, and no gray areas. She did not renew because her change request was not accomodated to her satisfaction.
It's like if I went into work and said, "I only want to work half a day here, because I want to explore the possibilities of contracting myself out to supplement my income. But I still want full pay."
Then they say, "Absolutely not. You can keep your current job, but we will not meet those terms."
Then I say, "I quit." Was I fired? No. Very clearly not. |
