Very disappointing to hear.
Sad to hear. We have been big fans of Ms. Morehead and wondered why we had not seen her recently. Wishing her well.
So sad to hear.
Not taking sides as for not knowing all the facts but this type of conduct is far too common in the workplace when someone suffers a catastrophic illness or injury.
Peace of mind isn’t allowed and getting help information or assistance wise from the employer navigating the process with the insurance companies and care providers is almost nonexistent.
Dare ye be human and life happens to you!
Sad for Andrea Moorhead and shocking for WTHR.
WTHR has seemly taken a couple steps backward since being acquired…..becoming more political and losing a number of anchors. It’s really a shame as they have several outstanding news personalities!
This is very sad if true and Channel 13 should lose their NBC affiliation if true.
I’m hoping she’s got good notes to support her case because what she experienced was just cruel…
This is very sad and disappointing. I have been a fan of WTHR/Channel 13 for some time, but this may push me to a different local news outlet. I wish Andrea Moorhead well and hope justice is served.
Separate issue but similar:
I have been pleased to hear Fox59 morning anchors continue to say “I am XXXX (anchor of the day) filling in for Lindsay Thackston”.
This is impressive given the long duration since her May 2020 public announcement that Lindsay has been unable to work following her cancer diagnosis.
Cancer is so draining.
Best of luck in all of your future efforts to Andrea Morehead and Lindsay Thackston.
I had the same thought, too; how supportive the Fox59 anchors and reporters have been of Lindsay–giving her on-air shout outs and not dropping her name or image from their broadcast. No employee should have to endure abuse from their employer or co-workers while going through any major illness. There but for the grace of God, go I. Wishing Andrea and Lindsay physical and emotional healing.
This is one of the first things that came to my mind (after the disgust for WTHR management). Fox 59 has been so supportive of Lindsay and her recovery with on-air shout outs and not removing her name or image from their broadcast. No one should suffer abuse at the hands of their employer or co-workers while going through any illness. There but for the grace of God go I. Wishing both Andrea and Lindsay physical and emotional healing.
First off l have always enjoyed watching her on WTHR. I’ve always thought she did a very good job. Secondly and most importantly it appears she is cancer free and that is wonderful. It sounds like her treatment was very extensive. My question is why does two employees wagering $20 on whether she comes back to work or not have anything to do with harassment and discrimination. It seems when employees get fired and they feel they have been wronged their attorneys throw anything and everything out there that they think will stick in court and in the eyes of public opinion. There are always two sides to the disgruntled employee story and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
Not merely two employees/associates wagering but *management*. Management sets the example for everyone else. If they did it at work it was in poor taste. (Actually, there are “III Sides to Every Story: Yours, Mine, and the Truth”) (and not just in the music world). But when in doubt, management should show discretion, and when asked, merely shrug and play stupid. She could have told two different members of management, asking each not to share, and if that were true, -the-two-should-have-never discovered-the-other-one-knew!
.
I volunteered as an EMT in high school & college…40 years ago. I *still* don’t tell stories about patients, not even to my wife, who I know can keep a secret; even though the odds are pretty good (lottery, anyone?) the person something happened to and the person I’m telling won’t discover each other. Sure there was the middle of the night we were on US 30 and the electrical system was fried and we had no way of getting help for quite some time until someone reported seeing an ambulance sitting by the side of the road, but *nothing* about the patient.
I miss her. WTHR is not the same without her.
She was a advocate for breast cancer early diagnosis and treatment years before she was a victim herself. She’s a great anchor and a real plus for WTHR. If any of this is true, shame on WTHR for such insensitive and illegal treatment. If she goes to another station, my viewership goes with her.
Shame on WTHR. I’m on Team Andrea. First Cancer and now she has to battle her former employer. How stressful this must be for her, and something a person recovering from what she went through medically should not have to be doing mentally and physically. It’s a mass exodus of anchors at that station which tells me what Andrea is alleging is true.
