      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.

      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.

      Media Watch is worthwhile viewing, regularly critical of the ABC

    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.
