In the 90's a reporter for ACA secretly filmed an electrical repair guy as he "ripped off" consumers. The story went to air, and he killed himself in shame. What he did was not illegal, FYI, he simply charged more for his services than would be competitive, but there's no law against that. Despite this, the reporter went on to have a successful career in this industry. After all, it was her job to be a bitch.
Two Australian radio announcers (Mel and Michael) recently did a prank phone call to King Edward VII Hospital. If you've heard it is is kind of funny, despite being bad taste. But that's all it is - a prank call - where they impersonated (badly) the queen and prince phillip.
Now there is widespread hate and anger at the radio announcers - who were just doing their job. If anyone should be to blame, shouldn't it be their boss and not them? Since when do you blame the shitkicker for the company's problems???
The announcers have been immediately suspended from their jobs! Not following the prank call, no, following the suicide of the nurse. The company was happy with what they did up until the point that someone kills themselves, and then at that point blames the announcers? I can only hope I've read this wrong, and their suspension is for their own wellbeing and not reflective of the company wanting to sack them.
