they both commented on her postHer colleagues have clearly been told not to comment, nothing from Tara Stewart or Conor Behan who are normally so pally with her on Instagram
I just would’ve expected something on their own stories from them, I dunno. I know Conor is more freelance but Tara and her are work besties, I guess Tara can see now her job is by no means secure eitherthey both commented on her post
That’s a nice sentiment, but it’s not how the world works. If you get fired (which is essentially what happened here it seems), you don’t get told to back to your desk and continue on with your job...Oooh they have treated her badly! No two ways about it! Of course she should be allowed to do her show this weekend.
Could not agree more, I'm so tired of the dumbing down of media to make room for the likes of Doireann and co. I actually take a lot of comfort in following and listening to Louise, particularly when it comes to parenting, she's one of the few who is totally honest about the shit days.Absolutely appalling way to treat her and her team, not letting them do the final shows. Yet those dreadful less than mediocre pick me gals Doireann and Jennifer get to keep their shows??? Is there a brain cell working in RTÉ management at all???
I’d love to know more about the employment law on this. Is Ireland like the US?That’s a nice sentiment, but it’s not how the world works. If you get fired (which is essentially what happened here it seems), you don’t get told to back to your desk and continue on with your job...
I doubt she is an employee, most of the presenters are contractors so employment law doesn’t apply to them. If that’s the case then her contact is probably being terminated and she is being paid her notice period. In the real world when being let go you’re often sent off on gardening leave and still being paid put your notice period but not working. If you’re job is dependent on passing exams while you work or some other criteria and you don’t fulfil that or get the minimum marks the company want you can be marched out the door that day. I’ve seen it happen.I’d love to know more about the employment law on this. Is Ireland like the US?
Of course she won’t have found this out today, and there must have been negotiations but…in the UK at least you don’t get sacked and marched out same hour. There are performance improvement plans, or constructive dismissal - a process. Perhaps different in this media world but my fave DJ has just experienced the same and he announced 6 months ago.
And it shows a huge disregard for the listenership of that show. Listener numbers notwithstanding,
The infamous “walk to the door” - extremely common in commercially sensitive roles in all industries. I’m no lawyer, but I do know Irish employment law is generally very favourable towards employees. There’s no way of knowing what her particular arrangements are with RTE (ie permanent employee V contractor), but I’m guessing there’s some sort of garden leave at play.I’d love to know more about the employment law on this.

But just because its happened before doesn’t make it right. She had a team all work for this weekend show which now doesn’t air. Unless she was being disciplined, I think she should have been given a grace period. Feels like an attempt to keep her quiet. i think she’s a moany minny by the way, but its cruel to escort anyone to the doorI feel for her on a human level but not on a professional level. I've been in a role and asked to leave with immediate effect when it clearly wasn't working out. It wasn't personal its just the nature of some roles. Your usually aware of all this when accepting employment in these fields.
I didn't listen to her show in the last few months it had become a bit of a talking circle for herself and a select few friends with all the same views and extremely politically correct.
I think there's a need for a more balanced view on every day topics and whether it's a male or female voice I couldn't care less I don't think its relevant
It’s not uncommon to be asked to leave and not work out the required notice period. Employee is still paid as that’s the legal requirement but employers sometimes prefer to have that staff member off the premises
