I noticed that Mary expected to have some editorial control over the news content. What newsreader do you know says what’s in and what’s out? She should just get over it… Stan kicks arse!

Let Mary have her day in court, then we’ll find out soon enough if there are any claims. Bullying in the workplace is a big deal in 2007.

the first “anonymous” perhaps has never been in the workforce before? I think any employee of ANY organisation should be allowed basic respect and to be acknowledged (ie. not to be ignored). I don’t think Ms Kostakidis ever complained that Stan “didn’t like her”. Nobody expects to be friends with everyone they work with, but to expect some basic courtesy is not too much to ask and it sounds like Mary wasn’t getting that.
Also, she is suing because the management has diminished her role in contrast to what is written in her contract.

Sort of unrelated though, but it stuns me that management didn’t do their basic homework and figured out that Australians don’t like Stan Grant which was clearly evident from him hosting “Real Life” which was a dud and whose only achievement was that it inspired “Frontline”. He might have the qualifications and certificates and all, but that doesn’t make him a likeable news presenter.

what odd posts in this page!
-
1) she has been bullied in a MO that is very common – maybe you wouldn’t be so quick to judge if you had suffered this type of insidious behaviour.
-
2) as for the other poster, what is this? The homosexual agenda??? What have you been smoking??? In fact SBS is now run by right wing hacks, actually.

We all know that SBS is run by a bunch of far left wing intellectuals..

She’s just annoyed that he has brought some balance to an otherwise TV station run by homosexual elites!

Was there a clause in her conjtract that said "all co presneters must treat me with respect and acknowledge my presence. And no time shall any one dislike me"

Its not the first time in TV history two co-hosts didnt get along and barely spoke of camera. It just proves shes scraping the bottom of the barrel for excuses and didnt have the fortitude to be a professional.

Lots of people hate there job, they dont sue because of it.
