We all fail to live up to our ideals, but this company’s promotion to chief executive of a man who is known to have sexually harassed a female subordinate is a pretty big failure | OPINION

In the “About Us” section of the AMP Capital website, there is a subheading about “Culture and Diversity” which assures the reader that “fostering diversity and inclusion empowers our global workforce”.

It is the only executive position at the company with an “uncapped” performance bonus. Women at the company are rioting. Management is holding a series of virtual “town hall meetings” to soothe employees, who are asking, straight up, why this man was promoted, given his known history. In a classic twist, Thursday’s meeting was run by the only woman on the executive team, sent in to face livid staff and mop up the mess.“Get rid of him!” said one staffer, according to reports.

At a time of shrinking newsrooms and the increasing shrillness of social media, this is hazardous for everyone, but the unchangeable fact is that it is women who face the most danger, the most damage, and in the case of AMP Capital, the only serious consequences. Neither of the judges, now retired, have commented on these reports, except for Gleeson telling one journalist "the accounts relayed to you are false", in response to questions.

Groan. More Age bullshit.

Organisational stupidity on a grand scale

AMPCapital disgusting behaviour from a company in 2020.

Disgraceful

Time to take our retirement funds out of AMP.

Very similar to DanielAndrewsMP who promoted Adem Somyurek back to his ministry after man handling a female staffer.

So making financial reparation to a claimant as ordered by the court isn't sufficient? It has to go further st the behest of ... the Left media?

So we should all boycott AMP as the company supports sexual harassment.

Amazing AMP is still in business - woeful organisation

Victoria to hold first judge-only trial, but lawyers favour jury systemBarristers and people accused of crimes in Victoria have largely shunned a new law allowing cases to be heard by a judge alone, instead expressing their strong faith in the jury system. Best judge in the country this one Agree. CRIMINAL? Unless actual physical violence was undertaken this is a legal problem only. What a minor charge needs to be judged by what will be straight, neurotic, prescription dependent civilians.. Community service (100 hrs.) DISMISSED. I wish there were more Judges like this lady. She is an absolute gun!
