Fox has ordered a one-hour unscripted series that turns real-life company layoffs into a reality contest.It's either going to be an absolutely brilliant metaphor for 2009 America (let's face it, if you can't immediately name one person in your department that needs to honestly be canned, that person is YOU) or it's going to be a complete "Lord of the Flies" train wreck, only with TPS reports.
The show's working title is "Someone's Gotta Go." Employees are called to a meeting and informed there will be layoffs, but with a reality show twist: The staff will be allowed to determine who is fired.
The employees will have access to the company's internal information -- budgets, HR files, salaries, etc. -- to help make their decision.
It's the anti-"Apprentice": Instead of contestants vying for a dream job, they're fighting to keep the lousy one they already have.
Most of us are living this little scenario anyway.
