The recent news of a top-rated host, Tucker Carlson, parting ways with media company Fox Corporation has led to a drop in its shares. This comes amidst the backdrop of a $787.5 million settlement that Fox recently reached with Dominion Voting Systems over defamation claims related to their coverage of the 2020 presidential election.

Fox's decision to let go of Carlson may have stemmed from his comments about former President Donald Trump, which were revealed during the proceedings of the Dominion case. However, it is important to note that reasons for termination may vary based on contractual obligations and other factors specific to each case.

The departure of a top performer like Carlson will inevitably result in loss for Fox News as they try to keep pace with competitors such as CNN and MSNBC. The network had previously lost another superstar, Bill O'Reilly, after sexual harassment allegations surfaced against him in 2017.

Moreover, there are also allegations from Abby Grossberg, who worked on Carlson's show as head booker alleging "toxic" work environment at Fox along with being coerced into providing misleading testimony in Dominion's defamation case by legal team at Fox Corporation.

India too has stringent laws when it comes to employment and workplace harassment under Prevention Of Sexual Harassment act (POSH). The employer is required under law provide Safe working environment based on gender-neutral policy irrespective any designation or hierarchy within organization. Employers must strictly adhere policy guidelines provided by government regarding prevention & redressal mechanism described under POSH Act otherwise employers can be held vicariously liable & ordered pay compensation amount ranging up-to Rs 50 Lakh depending upon gravity & intensity of misconduct committed by perpetrators.  

In conclusion this situation highlights importance reforming organizational practices, policies and culture so employee welfare is not compromised whilst ensuring long term sustainability and growth prospects for corporations maintaining standard work ethics and following set guidelines is equally important as prioritizing good economic performance indices.
