Things like quality relationships were good things. I’m sad to see now that if you give it your all and be real and honest, and the people or viewers love you, you still may be let go the next week. Just get those “numbers” going up and up and you may be there a long time. Where have we come and where are we going? Keep doing your best. This too I hope will pass.

It made me feel not so all alone. I’m so sorry for all the people who were let go at QVC but I do believe it has to do with Amazon mostly. But I’m not sure why Dan and Carolyn were chosen.

I agree with so many who are saddened and angered by QVC’s tossing out of good long time hosts . I didn’t really think about it until they cut Carolyn abs Dan but over the past few years I realized that I really don’t watch QVC unless one of the experienced hosts are on . I don’t care for most of the newer hosts mainly because they just don’t have the personality and finesse of the seasoned hosts. They are so inexperienced and many talk over the guest although Jane T does it too . Like many others I have been frustrated with the poor quality of receiving broken merchandise. Same item two years in a row , and packages that never show up with no explanation of how it happened. Always with sold out items ! In the past I would arrange my calendar around the holiday shows and spend way too much . This year I did buy a very few items from CIJ , where as in past years it was almost a daily package delivery , then completely lost interest. I saved a ton of money . !!! I think QVC has forgotten ….. business is built one customer at a time , and that’s also how it is destroyed … alienating one customer at a time. Ii is obvious they have over extended themselves by buying up too many other outlets to manage successfully. Bad management decisions that they are not holding top level management accountable for. Instead they are making rank and file employees and veteran hosts who make better salaries expendable to try to bolster their failed policies . Very sorry for the employees who did nothing wrong but have to pay for inept top management mistakes. But that seems to be the current business model in the country. Glad to see you are doing well .

I worked at the Port St. Lucie Center until shortly before they closed the office, which I never understood considering we rated highest in customer satisfaction and time per call. I was so happy working there until the last year or so when things began to change. I wish I could say that I'm surprised by the layoffs, but I'm not. The writing was on the wall, getting more and more obvious the longer time went on. QVC is slowly killing their brand. You're right about the family feelings. I worked the overnight calls, from 6:30 pm to 3 am and loved it. It wasn't unusual to talk to the same individuals over and over again. One gentleman who called regularly was teaching me Hawaiian, one word a call. Another trans woman, just starting out, would ask fashion advice. We were friends. Still sad to hear of Carolyn and Dan, of all people, being kicked to the curb after all they did for QVC. Sad. Disgusted. And ready to move on from QVC.

Makes us wonder who's next. This is just wrong becuz those hosts are some of the best along with some of the other older ones. Some of the newer ones are not and they should be weeded out. All of us that are pet lovers could identify with Carolyn and Dan and that made them really special too. When these people are on air and you can feel how genuine they are, it makes you want to tune in and ultimately buy things cuz you watch more. I turn the channel when some of the others are on who are not nearly as good. Between what other people have said about quality control and other issues and losing these good friends, QVC is making bad decisions. Long time watchers will not want to watch or buy anymore from here. AND TY Antonella for caring so much. I miss you too!!!

There are a number of us, the shut in, the bedridden or seniors without visitors who feel security and affection for the personalities we see on tv consistently. By removing those friendly faces and voices from our daily lives QVC has grieved a lot of seniors and might I also say harmed them. Businesses forget when they are working up their equations for profit that human beings have a heart and needs and emotions. Those things are not quantifiable and can cause damage to their brand because of their lack of caring for that element. They look at salaries saved by laying off, the savings in healthcare to the workers and the need to pay into retirement benefits. As well as many other factors, but they don’t include the human needs and ability to just go somewhere else for the product when they feel disrespected. Dan is a gentleman and deserves more respect then this. I’m sure all the employees do. I just remember Dan from when I actually watched QVC. I haven’t for years because I feel they have been headed down this road a while and I didn’t care to profit a company like that.

There was a genuine quality when you were on air, unlike others who seem to only be there to pitch items as a hawker at the carnival. QVC lost me a few years ago when they acquired HSN.

Life is tough and things are unfair at times. Dan Hughes was with QVC for 33 years, and Carolyn Gracie for 19 years. That's a long time and a lot of years for any person to work for a company. As we age, it's gets harder to suffer such losses. Unfortunately, that's the way of our world. Old faces disappear and new ones appear. We have an affinity for those lost and dare not get close to the new ones. There is a natural disconnect. COVID has brought out the ugly in our world in a multitude of ways. The economy and inflation is making it that much worse. In favor of saving money, old faces get eliminated in order to bring in new faces that are cheaper to maintain. Age discrimination under the guise of cost savings is real. Sadly, this is the way of our world and the way of America now. I do not think it's a positive change at all. I don't know what to say. I miss you and Lisa Robertson particularly. It hasn't been the same since the two of you left. We love you all.

I loved Carolyn and Dan. I gave up on QVC a couple years back because I realized it was a shopping addiction. I stopped buying stuff I didn't really need and cleaned out my house of stuff I had stockpiled. It wasn't really QVC's fault, it's my own shopping addiction. Anyway, it's sad to see a great business having problems but right now our political climate is causing massive changes in our economy. We are losing a lot of big businesses across the country. I just heard that Walgreens and Big Lots are having troubles and will be closing lots of stores soon. I honestly think that many people cannot afford to shop like we used to because of our failing economy.

Actually, it's because the wealthy are getting wealthier than ever before (during COVID, the worth of billionaires increased and increased) . . .yet we don't invest in our people here. Every other capitalist nation has universal health insurance, for instance -- only here in the US do people lose their life savings due to medical issues. So sad. With all our wealth, we should be the best at providing a good standard of living for all people, yet we don't.

Karen Koe. You questioned who is paying the price……..me, for 1 of millions. Perhaps you have grocery stores that haven’t doubled their prices. Apparently you aren’t paying the high price I pay for gasoline. And let’s don’t forget the increase in utilities, medications, and EVERY other necessity of life. I know seniors, older than my 72 years, that depend on local food banks to eat just 2 meals a day. They have no “extra” money for beauty shops and anything else that makes them feel good about themselves. Some don’t know what it would feel like to have even one hundred dollars in the bank for emergencies. To them, every day is a emergency…and that’s how they live, one day at a time…praying for God’s amazing grace. So, wherever it is that you live that everyone’s “employed that wants to be”, by all means, let us know….because perhaps a hundred or more in my own little home town can get moved to where you are. And, congratulations for living in such a unique place where life is so good…for everyone.

@@bonniehayes570 Well, of course we have all been effected by higher food prices (starting to come down a little locally). Our answer to that is to shop differently. Stopped eating beef for instance. Take advantage of sales, store brands, etc. None of that particularly bothers me since I have never had money to blow at the grocery. Gas went up for a while but is now down significantly locally. Our utilities have gone up slightly. Those seniors (btw, I am the same age as you are) were probably already struggling before all of this. Around here wages have gone up significantly due to employers struggling to find and retain workers. Anyone who wants a job has one. That in itself has contributed to price increases. As far as people moving here, employers would certainly welcome anyone employable. Not to mention we as seniors had our SS go up significantly which helped to offset some of the inflationary pressure.

At first I thought you were on vacation, or had a medical thing going on (sorry to learn that part was true), and then I went looking for you and landed here on YT. What I don't get, and I know everyone has their own favorites, is why the show hosts I found most engaging and REAL are the ones let go. I don't trust QVC the way I once did and if you read a lot of product reviews, I'm not sure the quality is what it once was. I'm VERY cautious about what I order now.

We feel so connected with the on-air hosts just as you described your connection with us, the viewers As a QVC customer for over 30 years, what this tells me is how out-of-touch they are with their viewers. I started a petition to bring back Dan and Carolyn and would have done the same for you had I known of the platform back then. I posted the name of the platform here a few minutes ago but it looks like YT took down my post. The petition is on a website that starts with the word change. I don't know if it will make a difference, but QVC needs to wake up. I shared where to find the petition on a couple of the QVC website Forum pages and QVC put me in Forum time out for 48 hours for posting in more than one location. I can't even describe how that made me feel. Seems to me that a company who has had a few bad years financially should value their customers. I'm glad you're with JTV. They clearly get it. QVC does not. I pray that the employees who lost their positions find other jobs quickly. God bless you always! xoxo

Wow, so sad, and so ..... stunning to hear about Dan and the others... long time hosts. Competition is fierce in the online shopping world. Millions of consumers have had to tighten their belts, buy less, and look for bargains. 30 years ago, QVC was my go-to shopping channels for clothes, household goods, jewelry, gifts etc. Sadly, there are no more "bargains" and no more special offerings. I miss the European goods from Germany, Italy and Portugal. Exclusives to QVC, and really good prices. Alas, it no longer is that way. TSV's are no longer the great deals they once were. Some lines of clothing are too pricy for people on fixed incomes, and certain cosmetic lines have been priced out of some budgets. Too much made in China merchandise has flooded QVC. I think the days of the 50/50 are long gone, and that is sad, because they promoted local artists and crafters, helped many become millionaires and beyond. I no longer have a monthly statement from QVC, my last bill was paid off 3 years ago. Once their quality became "run of the mill" and the same stuff could be found elsewhere for a lot less, I quit shopping at the Q.

Wow, Antonella, QVC has always had a special place in my heart, too. I was generously given several one hour shows after I was selected as one of the winners in QVC's 'Quest for America's Best' in Virginia in the late 90's. (I'm Gail Duke). Dan was such a calming, kind presence to me and my nervousness of suddenly being on a live TV show. What a great guy! I don't know where QVC is going, but I do know that they were sure a powerhouse for giving struggling artists a once in a lifetime chance of reaching the world with their art. And I will forever love QVC for that. Now that a doctor's mistake has left my right side paralyzed, I have considered contacting QVC about offering products I've designed to help the handicapped. Because QVC always had a heart for the people. I guess I'll find out if they still do? Well, God bless you, Antonella. I wish you all the best! - Gail

I’ve been with QVC since they were CVN (is that right?) and that company has definitely changed. It all started with great prices and great value and great hosts, but in the last few years that is not the case. Plus, it definitely had a family atmosphere with the hosts, that it doesn’t now. I think greed has taken control. It’s not like it used to be.

Wait. Are you saying that QVC cut you loose as a customer because you made too many returns? That’s ridiculous. It should be your right to return something if you’re not satisfied.

WOW, so sad Dan and Carolyn were 2 of my favorites when so many others I loved got left go like you Antonella. Seems some companies go a different way and it doesn't work and here we are more layoffs. The economy doesn't help right now! They say downsizing isn't personal but it is to the people we care about. I truly hope they find a new place and position they love. Very very sad! Prayers to you and them!

Sweet words. So sorry for the employees. I enjoyed learning about the hosts lives. It will be missed. I recently lost my dog and I thought about Carolyn her and her animals. I knew she would know how I was feeling. I have always said prayers for the hosts ,you included ,when I heard of the illnesses,accidents and happy events too.

My heart broke when I heard I have been a customer for 30 years or more & I can't believe how they treat people at QVC Carolyn & Dan how horrible. When you lost the job I was shocked I cried, when you just informed us of what is taking place, Nothing is the same anymore companies are going to hell, no customer loyality either anymore, & yes we were family, I felt even though I never meet anyone of you I knew you all, & now it is done & over & to tell yu the truth I hardly purchase anymore formany of them very little, it is not the same. I was writting to her about her trip all about her & the squirrel I think that lady is a gem & it will never ever be the same anymore without you all Never.

I drastically cut back shopping through QVC for over 2 years now and not coincidentally when Antonella was “let go”. I’ve saved a lot of $$ up to $500+ a month of flex payments. I lived to watch daily/nightly programming with Antonella, Carolyn, Albertti, and many others. Funny how the tension, fractured feelings transferred through the TV screen. The replacement hosts could have been AI beings for how it felt to me to tune in and it got really creepy to watch/listen. It’s sad when change affects so many people and that change isn’t for the better. I’m so glad Antonella is so welcoming and trustworthy, kind, generous and above all, a true friend to all. Continued blessings, friend. You have my heart ❤️ 💐🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing this information Antonella! I must be out of the loop as I had no idea! What? They laid off the two BEST hosts Carolyn and Dan Rhett were left (3 including you!)! This is just unbelievable. Don’t they realize they’re breaking apart a whole extended family? Is there new management that was unfamiliar with the sincerity and kindness of the original hosts? They surely aren’t hiring based on those qualities now. I’d limited my purchases after you left to only to go on line to compare Q prices. Now … I’m DONE! Now they’ve revealed it’s all about the money and not its customers. Maybe it’s time for you, Dan, Jacque, Caroline and others to get together and start your own channel … something like you’re doing here! I’d be happy to support you all. Thank you for your openness and honesty! God Bless you all. ❤️ Love

You’re a good soul, Antonella, and your genuine affection and friendship for Carolyn, Dan and all the employees who lost their jobs is heartfelt and sincere, especially since you were affected the same way. It’s real connections that are made between hosts & viewers after watching you and the others for so many years. I’m truly happy that you found new opportunities and are successful and thriving… and I wish the same for Carolyn, Dan and all the employees who were let go. When one door closes, another opens. God bless 🙏🙌🫶🏻

Alot of companies are laying off. Tough economy. I just survived one. Alot of times having a job at a company for many years equate to higher salaries so those people can be targeted. Hugs to Caroline and Dan. Thanks for sharing. 💕

I don’t understand what they’re doing at QVC. I remember watching you and the other hosts that are no longer their with my mother. It was a comfort. Laugh with you all, buy some great things! I’ll miss that.

I used to have a love, hate relationship with QVC and I also loved hosts when it started as CVN before QVC. I watched your first airing and loved your genuine smile and honesty for a very long time. For those of us that have been with the station for that long, it really hurts when people that are in your age group are let go. Both Dan & Carolyn had great personalities and it was very easy to see that they loved what they did. I can relate as I lost my career after 37 years of dedication to my job more than my own home! There is life after and I like you, Antonella have dealt with medical issues for the last 3 years. But we are the type that will not take no for an answer and we barge forward to reinvent our lives for the better just as Carolyn and Dan will do. That does not make the feeling of being let go any easier to deal with, but where one door closes another one opens....... Love your channel and your honesty!

At QVC UK we the watchers follow and care for our presenters. We have the backs of those going through massive ups and downs, but I realised years ago it was a business. I'm so sorry you're all going through this, it's heartbreaking. All the best and many hugs from the UK 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
