*Spoilers* Should she have taken the job?

*Spoilers*
I think that she had more creative freedom in a way on Daybreak. The show had no where to go but up really, and thus she was able to do off the wall things to get ratings, like the Sumo wrestling, skydiving, etc sequence. She might have lost all that freedom if she moved to the Today Show. They did not have problems with the ratings and thus they might have been more resistant to her ideas. The staff, with the exception of Mike was willing to do whatever it took, like when Colleen pulled her aside and was like 'toss me in there, let me do things'.
So that is part of why I think she stayed and turned them down.

"If I had legs I would kick you."

I actually agree with you. I think it was too early to take the job at the Today show. She had not finished what she had been doing with where she was. If the Today show wanted her then... they'll still want her in a few years time so long as she doesn't become too complacent (which is not likely given her personality). That's because if she stayed on at Daybreak for a decent while, she would always be remembered as the woman who pulled a show out of the dirt but if she left too early, she may not get the long-term credit and the new gig might not work out for her anyway because she'd be a small fish in a bigger pond. So yes, I agree.

Well how do you know if she would fit in the Today show family? Every organization has their own family culture, and it was evident the moment she came onboard the Daybreak show and the moment she called for a staff meeting. The team has their own style and everyone has their own little habits and ticks. To change that is a very difficult task especially if it's become entrenched. It wasn't too difficult for Becky to change around Daybreak's practices because the team was failing badly so they were more open and receptive to new ideas. For the Today show, which has been more successful all along, they would be more resistant to any changes Becky brings to the team.

Alot of people have been known to join big organizations after having had success at their smaller organizations to only find that they couldn't reproduce that same success at the bigger organization.

The only thing I found shocking was that the one factor that made her decide to stay or leave was Mike Pomeroy. I mean he wasn't that much of a good mentor to her anyway. If I was her I'd have stayed because of the working relationship I would have already established with the entire team rather than any one person. Unless the whole going for the Today show interview was a ploy to give Mike that kick in the arse to be less inflexible.
