Jackie O stages KIIS walkout over ‘disgraceful’ gender pay gap in radio
Kyle Sandilands has revealed that KIIS FM has the worst gender pay gap in the radio industry, calling out his employer and the wider radio industry on air this morning.
UPDATE: ARN responds to Jackie O walkout
“Southern Cross Austereo has a disgraceful 5.9% pay gap,” Sandilands revealed on his show this morning. “At Nova and Smooth FM it is even worse, 6%. But, unfortunately, the number one spot is at KIIS FM – at the top of the tree with a 12% pay gap disparity.”
The concept of Jackie O storming out due to pay gaps is laughable.
The rest of ARN should be walking out on K&J due to the 10 years of famine every other staff member will now have (if they’re lucky to keep their jobs) while those 2 have 10 years of feasting. The impact of the personal financial gluttony of this duo will be profound on the rest of the company’s staff, and it is the board and management’s doing.
Shock horror. Another walkout from Macquarie Park.
Of more note, it is hard to see how ARN’s plans make life any better for current or potential future employees on the path of equity… certainly wouldn’t be top of mind for the movers and shakers.
