RTE redundancies

if you are 4 or 5 years away from retirement and been working there for 20 years it makes perfect sense- you can probably guess based on that criteria

it’s a voluntary scheme. Capped at 300k - if you were there 20 years you’d get 120 weeks of your current salary so 2 and a half year’s salary basically to leave

it would be amusing but not entirely surprising if one of the self-employed contracting superstars applied for the redundancy packages. Joe Duffy memorably complained about a lack of sick pay when he broke his leg demonstrating his knowledge of the differences between being an employee and a contractor.

they’d get something like 40k tax free - and 2 years salary - I suppose it depends on whether they could find gainful income elsewhere after Rte 🤔

I’d be very surprised if that would be transparent from a Revenue prospective and am sure RTÉ Investigate will follow the story..

That's two of my favourites put in the frame.

I'm starting to get nervous.

Never thought I’d see “RTÉ” and “the real world” in the same post. 🤣

They have a 2 hour programme with just music and jingles, no disc jockey wittering on. That's what people want, and they could do that 24 hours a day. Same with sports commentators on RTE TV who annoy so many people on Boards. Just broadcast the pictures and stadium sound, problem solved. I know that wouldn't work on the radio.
