Except yeah, it is how businesses work. I worked for Sears and Montgomery Ward, and every store in the mall did the same thing. Seasonal workers were just that: seasonal. Teaching does the same thing too. Budgets get cut, it's the new teachers who go. The "low man on the totem pole" analogy works just fine for the real world, since that's how the real world works.
AJ was fired because she was the low man on the totem pole in the Paget/Thomas/Joe/Kristen/MGG/Shemar train. Paget and Joe, while they came after her, ranked higher than her. While Kristen had a lower salary (based on her position in the credits) she has a massive fanbase - that was noted at the time AJ was fired. So AJ may not have been the lowest time-wise, she definitely was necessity wise. She was then replaced by a lower man on the pole. AJ returning keeps Rachel in the bottom, so yeah, she's the one to go. If Rachel had managed to attain Urkel popularity, she'd still be staying, lowest time or not.
And uh...I've never told anyone their opinions don't matter. In fact, if you'd actually read my comments you'll see several times I've said the exact opposite. You're entitled to your opinion. Much like I'm entitled to point out all the problems with the "CBS is sexist" and "Rachel was treated poorly" complaints. Which is what I'm doing. I'm sorry if that makes you *feel* your opinion doesn't matter, but that's not my fault.
You're picking apart *my* statements, so there's no difference in what I'm doing versus what you're doing. Unless of course, you're doing it because you ARE telling me my opinion doesn't matter. But that would make you...well, employing a double standard.
