Becker was a high profile major network show which would have gone along with a major salary increase. If she really wanted to leave, she wouldn't have ask to stay but written out of more episodes so as to not conflict with her Becker schedule.

I was always under the impression that he sucked and was lucky to have had M Piller and J Taylor to find the soul of TNG era trek (ENT is what happened when they both left).
But I did not know this. JFC. Fuck that guy.
He was also a jerk to (at least) Denise Crosby as well. Rick Berman posted on ~~Twitter~~ X a number of years ago with a pic of Tasha's com badge stating Tasha’s com-badge. Denise gave it to me after her last day of shooting on SKIN OF EVIL. It’s been on my desk for nearly 31 years.
Seemed like a really nice little story/memory. Unfortunately, it wasn't true at all. Denise responded Oh friend, my final scene on @StarTrek was not in SKIN OF EVIL but SYMBIOSIS which was filmed out of order. You came to the set to thank me and brought a cake, then ceremoniously ripped off my Communicator badge saying "you won't be needing this anymore." Don't remember?
She later backed down from the comment (saying it was a joke b/w friends), but she had given an interview to TrekCore a good 10 years ago basically saying the same thing - that Berman ripped the com badge off her uniform, and that she was expecting him to rip off the rank pips next. Maybe it was a joke on his part? But even still, kinda of a dick thing to do.
Yea I buy that.
