      It feels like no one dislikes the ABC as a company as much as its employees.

      Which honestly makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. I hate my employer too.

        No one makes deprecating jokes about the ABC as much as its employees, either.

      Oh the staff know what their overlords are like. The MD hired the ex HR Head of paragon of employment rights 7-11 who proceeded to stretch “negotiations” out for years by being a prick. All while the MD pretends that it’s not him.

        Unfortunately of late it’s been used as a platform to launder the transphobia of both Barry and producers.

    Time for a full scale house cleaning at the ABC. They need to clean out the rot Morrison and co started.

    Sound strategy. I know when I want someone to represent me in a fairwork lawsuit I go straight to a company that operates in a country that has no ideological framework whatsoever to understand how things work within our laws.
