You're Fired — For Real: Fox Orders Layoff Reality Series

Someone's Gotta Go

Someone's Gotta Go — and everyone gets to watch.

Inspired by the recession, Fox has picked up a new reality series in which real struggling businesses will ax staff on-camera, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

There's a twist, of course: Each week, the employees — not the boss — will choose the unlucky staffer.

Internal company files, such as budgets, HR data, and salaries, will be open to each pink-slipping team of 15 to 20 employees.  

Production on the show has already started, but there is no word yet on a premiere date. Someone will be hosted by a yet-to-be-named business expert, who will pull double duty as a consultant for the participating businesses.

What do you think? Should Fox sack the idea, or would you like to watch someone get sacked?
