Bosses in Nine's broadcast division would belittle, intimidate, gaslight and sexually harass employees, and when complaints were made against management, HR would cover it up.
"These findings paint a picture of an organisation where accountability is lacking, where decisions in the workplace are made based on personal gain or preference, and where an individual's role or status can be used to bully, harass or to 'punch down'," the review said. "Experiences of public humiliation, 'white-anting', belittling comments or conduct, and aggressive or intimidating behaviour were found to be commonplace and normalised," the review said.Nearly a third of broadcast employees reported experiencing sexual harassment, with sexually suggestive comments or jokes and intrusive questions about appearance or private life being common behaviours.
One employee told the review: "The anxiety I experienced before was debilitating. He would humiliate me in front of everyone else on the team." Another said: "It would not be uncommon to be asked or to hear: "Who did you f*** last night?" or "Someone is going to get their dick sucked".Julia Szlakowski says years before the AMP scandal broke at the financial services firm, she was fired from another job for not sleeping with her boss.One worker put it this way: "It is drilled into us to never go to HR. They are very much on the side of the company.
"Today is an incredibly difficult day for Nine as we confront these findings and reflect on serious cultural issues as an organisation," Nine chair Catherine West said."The behaviour outlined in the report is unacceptable. Abuse of power, bullying, sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct is not okay. This behaviour has no place at Nine.
