Poor guy, he's basically saying "they didn't think I was good enough" but he's not gonna take it. I hope he was successful later on in life, he sounds like a lovely person
This man did the right thing by recognising that you cannot circumvent the nepotism and favoritism in organisations. His decency and his own self respect saved him.
Absolutely. I have a friend with 30 years in Social Services from entry to management positions. She recently resigned a job she had been at for 3 years. A job she kept the agency afloat with. Upper MGMT passed over her and hired a new manager. Disgusting.
@@soundjudgement3586 There is a very malignant and pathological problem that infests most upper management. I don't know if its the training courses that they all attend or simply being brought up around the same mentality or a mixture of both, however it is strange how there is so much of it around and it should be examined closely as it is a model that generally creates failure in the same way the children of the wealthy destroy all the hard work of the hard workers before them.
A guy I work with recently got screwed over by upper managment. They hired another guy from outside the organization for the job my coworker was promised. Sucks.
The job I'm at did a lot of it's senior staff dirty and fired everyone who worked with them when they were just starting out, as if they never knew them. This was a while ago and now it's come back to bite them. Everyone is jumping ship and the business is doing awful. It's weird how they think their employees will just keep quiet about it as well. Now everyone even our competitors know our morale is going down
Laura I completely agree with you you seem like a great person but when it comes to the corrupt judicial system there's no more talking nice to them anymore or the police, I apologize for the way I feel but once you say anything against the corrupt government they start Illegal retaliatory measures because they know they can't be touched unless you have a lot of money then you can get out of everything
Ô, its happening... Believe me. Few mor years of whats going on?? Shit maybe few more months...... People are getting tired of a select few making a living.. Its like were re-living the 18th century all over. Never going to get off this planet
I feel for this guy. I worked as a sub for 15 years(night janitor for schools). For 15 years I showed up everytime they asked me to show up. Done a good job. No complaints. Watched person after person for years get the full time job over me. When the full time janitor job I really wanted for the schools popped up, I was finally the most qualified person out of all the interviewers. I was in my 15th year and no one had that amount of experience over me. Went balls to the wall to get it too. In the end, the principle gave the job to her friend, who had never once done any janitorial work at all. I quit the job immediately after finding that out. Didnt know what I was going to do. Now I co own a lawn care company and will completely own it in a year.
I know how you feel , one of the greatest feelings in the world. I remained a novice mechanic for 5 years, while new mechanics quickly passed me in experience. Everyone harassed me for being so inexperienced at my age, but it was just because I wanted to go back to cooking. Little did they know I was attending a culinary nightschool. Even my higher ups told me I'd never be anything more than a parts swapper. Now I am the executive chef at a regional fine dining restaurant, making more than the highest paid techs there combined. I love bringing my ZL1 there for services just to rub it in their faces that they were wrong.
To OP. Kudos to you sir. Here's an unwritten rule/truth: Any job where they don't recognize your great qualities, loyalty and hard work is not one to stay at. Eff 'em.
He was personal, kind, honest and said his piece with great clarity and composure. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors, and hope he finds full time with a station that appreciates him more than they do here. That first step is the hardest. And, like I ways tell my fellow coworkers never burn your bridges behind you. GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK ! ! !
This guy is great. He knows that he's just being held back and wants to move forward. I think he said that he was there for 13 years and settling for crumbs. 🥧
I have never seen this man in my life but his speech made me feel like I’m seeing an old friend or host I liked bid his goodbye’s, felt real personal. I hope he was able to continue his dream career after this :(
Yea me too. I am already having a bad day and feeling sad, from depression and a lot of things irl, but this made me feel more sad and cry because he really liked his job but his job didn't like him. He felt like he probably doesn't belong and I know that feeling and how it hurts your heart both emotionally and physically.
Basically telling the co-workers "it's not you I have the problem with" and telling the higher-ups in a subtle way "Im leaving because you didn't believe I deserved a shot at something bigger".
@@emilym2274 Believe me. Not many people could keep their composure on moments like this. But he took it way too well. He's just different. I believe even if he has freedom to say anything he wants, he'd say the exact same thing he said on the video
This guy spoke well and made his feelings courteously clear, he is an example to us all when we find ourselves compromised. I wish I could maintain that kind of composure.
Not very classy. His career struggles are between him and his bosses, not the general public (the customers). We don't know the situation here. Maybe there was never an opening. Maybe he just wasn't that good. Maybe the bosses suck and he was right to leave. But if I were in charge of hiring at another station I'd consider him a liability over this.
You can tell who all the millennials are here, the ones who think they're entitled to promotions just because they show up for work every day. All of you who think I'm such a bad person for suggesting that maybe the guy shouldn't have aired (quite literally) his dirty laundry: Have a nice day.
I was sorta expecting him to just look at the camera and say "Fuck it I quit". Instead he was very polite I hope he gets that job as a full time meteorologists
@steven milstead After reading up on Miss Greene’s story, something tells me your derisive comment is less about the way she quit her job by standing up proudly and frankly for what she believes in, and more so to do with the fact that you disagree with medical/recreational marijuana use, and/or may be racist. Or, maybe it has nothing to do with either of those things. I do, however, think it’s very telling that those with an issue with my comment have bent over backwards to nitpick at my mentioning that racism may _potentially_ be a factor, but hardly anyone has said anything about the recreational marijuana use. Why reply if it doesn’t apply. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. Edit: Something that's never made sense to me about racists: If you're so proud to be racist, and feel it's justified, why get offended and try to gaslight when called out for what you are? If you're so proud to the point that you have racist pfp's, usernames, and openly say things like "There's a reason some races are associated with low class" why backpedal when you're accurately assessed? It's like the ku klux wearing those white masks. For what? Aren't you happy to be racist, why hide, why suddenly pretend you're not? Especially when you've got Nazi insignias, openly calling black people the n word, and whatnot, etc. all over your every social media? Hating other/certain races is your entire personality, but you want others to pretend like it's not? It's so much easier to just drink water and go to therapy like everybody else, rather than coping with your personal issues by being racist.
@@bigsmoke3662 Bro you know damn well that young liberals love to bring politics into fucking everything as well. Just take one look at Twitter and you’ll see what I mean.

Of course everyone who surrounds themselves with people who agree with them are going to consider those people to be nicer, and that includes people like you who (I would assume) surrounds yourself with liberal minded people whether that be in-person or online.
This weatherman just said what I've been thinking at my job for the past 3 years! Loyalty, hustle, dedication, respect and showing up to work on time everyday used to mean something in the workplace!
You have to evaluate whether there’s room for you to grow. Don’t let people screw you over. I’m right there with you weighing my options… but it’s so tough to leave…
Loyalty hustle dedication respect...Did you get that from a rap song? Maybe if this guy had a real skill of value, he wouldn't be struggling to make it, & crying about it on TV (an abuse of his position in itself). Can this country get any more wimpy??
Whoever ignored his dedication let a great employee slip away. Hope he finds that perfect spot for him. Seems like a straight up guy. Best wishes my man!
That's life. Lots of jerks who don't care, get the girl, promotions, etc. Right out of school. Lots of guys who struggle and Hussle and never reach (&/or remotely reach) their full potential... At least there's mental coping mechanisms for sanity that are safe and profound xD
The thing is that succesful people in this world are the poorest ones. They get so entagled with material stuff, they never reach enlightment that way. Waste of a life. Thats why 99 of 100 millionaries are crying when death comes. Suddenly now they dicover love, simple things, smile, colors, smells. Pathetic. Hope they enjoyed their meaningless success just to be crushed just 5 minutes before hahaha
@C K " If hes willing to let himself get strung along for 13 years with no promotion, why would a manager not capitalize on that?" What? so he doesnt leave or that you keep a healthy mentality wtf are you talking about what you are saying sounds like sociopath mentality. "ones who use others for thier own gain" No this is pure copium the most succesful tend to have most integrity and actually treat the people important to them well.

This is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen. I hope he found happiness and prosperity in his life. *EDIT* thanks for all the likes but you can stop replying now, I'm good 👍👍
For those wondering his name is Tony Derda and he did go on to get a full time weather position you can look him up on UA-cam Wow 700 likes thanks yall
"Basically after 13 years of striving to grab the whole Pie, Pie, grab the whole Pie, it's no longer possible to keep settling for just a taste of the crumbs from previously stated pie. To reiterate, I like pie. I have repeatedly urged fox news to use more Pie-based charts when displaying weather predictions, but to no avail. It would have been most useful last week to show to viewers just how Pieping hot it was during the Noontime hours. It should be noted that Pumpkin happens to be my favorite flavor, of pie. To all of you out there in the region who are tuned in, I wish you a good night, cross my heart hope to pie. This is your local meteorologist Peter P. Pie, Signing off."
But also, f him for his narcissism. Why explain that to the viewers? Do your job- present the weather. I dont need to hear the passive aggressive horseshit
This has GOT to be algorithms, I just recently subscribed and started to binge watch your videos and now here I am seeing your comments on a random ass yt vid 😂
If they didn't want him full time that's their loss. He seems like a genuinely nice dude. I read another comment on here saying he got a full time gig at another station, good for him.
Three weeks after this was aired, they found his body at an unmanned weather station on top of a hill near his house. He hung himself with an electrical cord tied to the chain link fencing surrounding the station. I guess he died how he lived: a weatherman.
Because these ""funny"" people keep saying he died, the truth is that he is probably Tony Derda, and seems to have gotten a full time job in the weather forecast business (though likely retired now). Had to scroll wayyy too much to find this info..
Not only would I hire this guy, I'd put him in charge of hiring anyone else that joined the organization. Fully invested people like this are so hard to find, hope someone has seen this potential.
Idiots rather give full time/good positions to friends and family regardless of work ethic, interest or dedication. It's sad when nepotism results in hard workers getting shafted and mediocre ones with a connection getting rewarded. (Not saying it always happens, just when it happens).
@@ZentaBon This is not necessarily true. I'm one of those types, where in my job (yes, it's true) I thrive on a bit of chaos, making everything come together. My boss knows that I really don't mind being overloaded as long as I am appreciated.
“When the weather was a little slow, maybe I made you smile once in a while.” What a sweet man. I hope he was able to persevere with his career Edit: Can you guys stop roasting Cathy in my replies
it’s rare to see adults talking about their dreams because having dreams is regarded as a “childish” things, and adults are expected to be able to do exactly what they want, when in reality it’s not that easy and has a lot to do with chances and timing. really hope this guy made his a reality
Since I’m seeing this 6 years later, I hope he found the biggest and best pie, and that he’s proud of his choices and convictions after these years. I wish you the best, sir!
Apparently, according to other comments, Tony Derda is alive and in a full time weather position, but dead from a car accident according to "Shooter Jenkins" of a random reply section, who conveniently also "banged his widow". I'm not sure who to believe here, the latter is very convincing..
@@optimisticwatermelon the answer is here: ua-cam.com/video/kbBgOk8F-jc/v-deo.html Always require proof to believe these online comments, there are many trolls around here.
I hope this man found exactly what he was dreaming of. His story is so relatable, but he had the strength and courage to say “ no more, I’m better than this”. He was very kind, genuine and loving in his sign off. I’d love to hear an update!
This is the classiest way to let it be known that you got tired of playing second fiddle and aren't going to waste any more of your life knowing they won't give you a chance. Best of luck.
It says to any future employer that you won't do the job you are given and rather than submit a letter of resignation and move on, you embarrass your current employer.
@@executivelifehacks6747 I wouldn't say pulling a stunt like that is embarrassing. I think it was very well executed, and much better than going full ape shit. I think it would actually demonstrate to a future employer that he was calm, and collected. And there is no way you know he didn't submit a letter of resignation in advance, or how he did his job before.
@@doogus8728 Executive Life Hacks is right -- all this should have been said to bosses in private, not on the public airways to tell viewers about problems behind the scenes. No future employer will want him -- they won't risk the same public shaming.
@@DeuceBiggerHo No! It is not classy to say all these things in public -- this should have been handled in a private conversation, not on public TV. Not classy.
Much respect for this weatherman. He did what he could to try and make it, but it just didn't work out. I hope somewhere out there he finally got passed the breadcrumbs and got to have a taste of the full pie. Here's to knowing when to take a new path when your old one wasn't doing you any good 🍻
I just left TV after years of being promised full-time work as a reporter but the station never actually followed through. This is the way of the business. I hope this man got his full-time gig at another station. I think many stations would have been happy to have a weatherman so well-spoken.
Because these ""funny"" people keep saying he died, the truth is that he is probably Tony Derda, and seems to have gotten a full time job in the weather forecast business. Had to scroll wayyy too much to find this info..
It hurts to see someone open up and talking honestly about his issues. It’s clear this man loves what he does, and for whatever reason he has decided to move on. Sometimes we just need to be ourselves and speak our mind. We need more hero’s like this.
@Hyperskreem 82 he explains why he’s leaving, but doesn’t explain exactly why. Don’t know if he’s going into a new field of study, or if he’s been fired, or what ever his situation is. All I can say is I hope he happy.
@@congruentcrib he literally says he is tired of getting crumbs, he wants the whole pie. Pretty clearly states the exact reason why. If he isn’t going to get the respect of a full time position, he’s leaving. He doesn’t want to continue doing part time because he feels doing that would show he is satisfied with such a small role, which he is not. How did you miss this?
The background makes the show look like you're watching it pretty early in the morning, like those programs you see when you wake up earlier than usual.
His name is Tony Derda and he worked at Fox28 in South Bend Indiana. I did actually watching the news one evening and he was holding a fistful of severe or strong storm warnings that he received from the national weather service ( or perhaps a local weather service). It was springtime and none of these severe weather events materialized. People were calling the station and they were irate. There were strong or severe storms in the surrounding counties but none in the viewing area. He handled it very well but you could tell it upset him. These things are unpredictable after all. Northern Indiana weather is extremely hard to predict.
@@derp8575 You are a very low-class person, to say this about Indiana people AND your low-class screen name. You do NOT add anything classy to society.
I get the feeling, and maybe I'm just projecting, this guy worked his butt off and no one appreciated him until he was gone. Maybe he lacked some of the charisma and personality of his co-workers, but he was always polite and eager to lend a helping hand. He did the best job he could do, but never got the recognition he deserved until it was too late, but hey at least he kept his head held high.
Not a lot people like him nowadays because they too scared or hide how they truly feel about their job but to do that on TV let alone letting the news station hear how he felt takes a lot of guts. It’s always the ones like this guy that gets treated unfairly despite how loyal and hardworking they are to their job. Hopefully he found a station or a job that rewards him for his great qualities
How fucking deluded is this comment? You can't do this shit without burning bridges today, or the fact of the matter is that you literally have no other choice but to continue your career because of the absolute shit state the economy is in since the 08 recession. Holy fucking shit.
Odd comment of yours. Not sure what you meant. His is clear enough. God is good all the time. All the time God is good. He may have a better assignment waiting.
@@Jukestar Well, God is good all the time. All the time God is good. His assignments are not always nice ones to experience but there is absolutely nothing he is unaware of and that his infinite love does not control. Our problem is we want heaven on earth NOW. He tells us we have to earn it by proving we want to become the loving and obedient people he requires for his kingdom. We onlu own our choices, He owns our lives.
@@Jukestar Well, not sure of the source material you are referring to but in the Old Testament God made one people his own at that time ... his choice, criteria not explained. To make a place for them as I recall he had them go into the land and those who accepted them he let alone. Those who resisted them He ended their earthly existence [not destroyed as into hell]. Those peoples had a choice to make. They owned their choices, He owned them. No doubt some of them had lived good enough lives to now be with him in heaven. Hi s instructions were specific in these cases and are recorded. Not sure about the reference to virgin women or where that is going. With God none of us are alone. What is your information source?
For anyone who is still watching this, the guy's name is Tony Derda. He did manage to do some other meteorologist gigs here and there, most recently in Amarillo, Texas. He now teaches 7th grade math at Nick Kerr Middle School in Amarillo and, according to his wedding registry, got married yesterday. To quote Conan O'Brien, "Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get, but if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Seems like he found happiness.
I have no idea why this appeared in my recommended but I'll gladly take this wholesome glitch in the algorithm. I hope someone got this man his dream job
I could tune in to a guy like that every night to see the weather forecast. Very nice guy, he has class, it would be relaxing to listen to him as opposed to so many others that I've seen. ,
There are so many things he could have said here, and so many ways he could have handled the situation. He chose to end it on a positive note. Mad respect.
He did that (RIGHT) and I can't stress the emphasis on the 'right' enough. Direct, yet not rude, with just the touch of grace and class you would expect from a believer. Farewell brother, and I hope your plans ended well.

Dude, this was years ago
@steven milstead After reading up on Miss Greene’s story, something tells me your derisive comment is less about the way she quit her job by standing up proudly and frankly for what she believes in, and more so to do with the fact that you disagree with medical/recreational marijuana use, and/or may be racist. Or, maybe it has nothing to do with either of those things. I do, however, think it’s very telling that those with an issue with my comment have bent over backwards to nitpick at my mentioning that racism may _potentially_ be a factor, but hardly anyone has said anything about the recreational marijuana use. Why reply if it doesn’t apply. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
Edit: Something that's never made sense to me about racists: If you're so proud to be racist, and feel it's justified, why get offended and try to gaslight when called out for what you are? If you're so proud to the point that you have racist pfp's, usernames, and openly say things like "There's a reason some races are associated with low class" why backpedal when you're accurately assessed? It's like the ku klux wearing those white masks. For what? Aren't you happy to be racist, why hide, why suddenly pretend you're not? Especially when you've got Nazi insignias, openly calling black people the n word, and whatnot, etc. all over your every social media? Hating other/certain races is your entire personality, but you want others to pretend like it's not? It's so much easier to just drink water and go to therapy like everybody else, rather than coping with your personal issues by being racist.
Me too.

He tells us we have to earn it by proving we want to become the loving and obedient people he requires for his kingdom. We onlu own our choices, He owns our lives.
@@Jukestar Well, not sure of the source material you are referring to but in the Old Testament God made one people his own at that time ... his choice, criteria not explained. To make a place for them as I recall he had them go into the land and those who accepted them he let alone. Those who resisted them He ended their earthly existence [not destroyed as into hell]. Those peoples had a choice to make. They owned their choices, He owned them. No doubt some of them had lived good enough lives to now be with him in heaven. Hi s instructions were specific in these cases and are recorded. Not sure about the reference to virgin women or where that is going. With God none of us are alone. What is your information source?

"Forecast His Weather" gotta love that quote .
For anyone who is still watching this, the guy's name is Tony Derda. He did manage to do some other meteorologist gigs here and there, most recently in Amarillo, Texas. He now teaches 7th grade math at Nick Kerr Middle School in Amarillo and, according to his wedding registry, got married yesterday. To quote Conan O'Brien, "Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get, but if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Seems like he found happiness.
This is the classiest resignation I’ve ever heard! I hope God richly blessed this man in his future endeavors! ♥️
Damned respectful. Hope he found a more solid weather gig.
I have no idea why this appeared in my recommended but I'll gladly take this wholesome glitch in the algorithm. I hope someone got this man his dream job
I agree! He's a stud!
"Thank you God for allowing me to forecast your weather" couldn't of said it better.
lol
Man, I love this guy. He seems so chill and genuine. Best of luck to you bro, retroactively
You can feel his pain and sincerity!
I could tune in to a guy like that every night to see the weather forecast. Very nice guy, he has class, it would be relaxing to listen to him as opposed to so many others that I've seen.
,
wow he was so gracious with his monologue he touched my heart
There are so many things he could have said here, and so many ways he could have handled the situation. He chose to end it on a positive note.
Mad respect.
The most respectful live exit I’ve ever seen, the world needs more gentleman
He did that (RIGHT) and I can't stress the emphasis on the 'right' enough. Direct, yet not rude, with just the touch of grace and class you would expect from a believer. Farewell brother, and I hope your plans ended well.
NO, the weatherman did NOT quit right -- he publicly shamed his employer by saying things he should have said in private. Poor manners.
@@cathynewyork7918 it sounds like he said those things to his employer many times but they would not listen. I personally would not go out from a place like that but if your going to, I say he did it as gentlemanly as possible.
@@Godsglory777 I believe most of us agree with you :) this was very gracious. The man even thanked those who have worked around him. I feel like he could’ve done his superiors WAAAY worse. Nothing but a flea bite to them.. but had a good message for the youth and just impressionable people in general
@@cathynewyork7918 Poor manners? How heartless. He was the very picture of honesty and grace.
@@christianloper9483 He was honest, but not graceful -- it is not decent to publicly shame your employer. This should have all been discussed behind closed doors, not on public TV.
" we're either IN or we're OUT " It's that way EVERYWHERE. It's behind a lot of our wonderful carnage.
great guy. 11/10 type guy. the guy you wish you could be. the guy you can't help but love. can we all please just appreciate this man and his humble nature for a sec? for real I haven't seen a man this grateful and respectful while quitting ever. not to mention his appreciation for the audience. I mean really, can we get this guy an award for being terrific in all the best ways?
He gives thanks to God. Pure class
You wish you could be the guy not reciting silly platitudes and cliches
I don’t wish to be him
Respect to this guy for speaking from his heart and being honest without burning down the building on the way out. I hope he landed somewhere else.
He landed in a shallow grave after death from excessive masturbation
What a class act. He did what he did for his viewers not out of spite. Very nice goodbye. I got nothing but positive vibes from him. He just wants what he's earned. Good for him.
No rage quitting, cussing on air etc ? This is a good man. I hope he gets a full time gig.
This man seemed so kind. This is a super sweet way to say goodbye. What a genuine and heartwarming video. :)
I wish that I can speak so lavishly like him off the top of my head.
Read more books.
Reporters train for many years to speak like this; it’s crazy!
@@cloudyns Overrated.
@@seheadhunter50
There's nothing wrong with reading more books. And yes, it's a good way to improve your vocabulary.
@@mckinleymac3452 books smell bad
Gotta go where you're valued man. I tell that to people who get passed up for promotions.
Everyone asks how’s the weather but no one asks how’s the weather man
