He committed a bad action. And this led to consequences with him getting fired and the show changing. Not sure why he needs to keep paying for it forever. If you don't agree with the punishment then that's certainly valid.

However just because you made a mistake doesn't preclude you from working for the rest of your life. And he's certainly worth the money for his following and trailblazing he's done in the industry, that doesn't go away because of a single incident.

Well, the question is if the firing is effective when he immediately gets hired by a competitor at a higher wage.

I know, it’s necessary for society to accept that everyone makes mistakes, and that everyone can change, but then the person actually has to use that chance and has to change. Just continuing business as usual is problematic.

(I wonder if a court could have sentenced him to a stress-management course?)

I'm not sure what you're expecting here because all the BBC could do is fire him. And I don't see what the problem is with any other company hiring him because he's actually worth it. The guy led the way for the biggest show on the BBC and that's no small feat. He still has all his skills, experience and following.

I think what you're looking for is criminal charges for his actions but it looks like the other guy didn't choose to file them nor did any prosecutor so that's that.

Firing has never been a postive punishment for a person nor is it intended to be. It's mostly just to protect the companies
