I was going to hold off on this story because so many other sites are running it and bashing Steve for his arrogance.
As many of you know I am not a big fan of The Steve Harvey Morning Show. Out of all the syndicated shows on urban radio, his show is the hardest to listen to because of Steve’s broadcast communication defects and complete non-radio approach. To be honest, I’ve heard better podcasts from people who have never been on the radio but there is an audience for Steve, obviously, so it is what it is and God bless em. A memo that he sent to staff in Chicago, a majority of which or all of whom he terminated for his move to LA with little warning backfired when one of them released the memo to Chicago journalist Robert Feder. In all fairness, several of Harvey’s points are valid but we also don’t know how the staff perceived him overall.
I’m predicting a couple of the heads on the current radio morning show will roll as I have heard many complaints about too many people on the new show and if Steve is like this to his off-air staff … the on-air staff must REALLY be walking on egg
I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me.
If you’re reading this, yes, I mean you.
Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.
Thank you all,
Steve Harvey
Yes, this is bad. Extreme to say the least. Creates a hostile working environment when you’re afraid to talk to the host of the show. “Personal life and enjoyment” or WORK! Who cares about his personal life when a job has to be done.
