After many allusions, about the work environment and the problems with The Ellen Show, the event has received attention again, as already, not only the employees, but also the directors of the show have decided to speak. A current employee and 10 former employees have spoken to BuzzFeed News about their experiences on Ellen DeGeneres shows. Individuals, who have agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, told Buzzfeed News in an article published Thursday (July 16th) that Ellen DeGeneres is not the hilarious and benevolent man people see at home. They said they were fired after taking a few days off for medical issues, or to bury a relative.
However, one former employee puts it this way: "People focus on rumors about how bad Ellen is, but that's not the point. The problem lies with the three executive producers, who deal with the show and are responsible for the rest of the employees. They have created a wrong work culture and often bully employees. They think everyone who works at The Ellen Show is lucky to be there. We were often told that if you have a problem, quit your job and we would hire someone else because everyone wants to work here. ”
Executive producers Ed Glavin, Mary Connelly and Andy Lassner told E! News that they are taking the allegations very seriously, adding a statement: “We are really concerned and sorry to learn that even one person from our productive family has had a negative experience. This is not what we are, or what we are trying to become, and this is not the mission Ellen has for us. The day-to-day responsibility of Ellen's show is entirely on us. We will take all of this very seriously and understand that we need to do better. "We are committed to doing better and we will do better."
A woman of color says that he had almost aggressive behavior towards her and that he was reprimanded by Galvin, one of the producers, when he demanded a salary increase. "I feel like I'm not alone in this," she said. "As a person of color. You go straight to the blacklist."
Një tjetër ish-punonjës tha se pasi mori një leje mjekësore një muaj pas një përpjekje vetëvrasjeje, ai u kthye në punë dhe iu tha se pozicioni i tij ishte duke u eliminuar. Në një incident, një punonjës tha që atë u pushua nga puna pasi mori një leje mjekësore tre-javore për dëmtimet e pësuara në një aksident automobilistik. “Ky është përkufizimi i një ambienti toksik pune, ku ata ju bëjnë të ndiheni sikur keni një problem," thotë një prej punonjësve.
BuzzFeed News ka vërtetuar gjithashtu, edhe dokumentet mjekësore të këtyre punonjsëve, për t'u siguruar që gjithçka thuhet, është e vërtetë.
Një punonjës tjetër, thotë se ata që pëlqehen më shumë nga prodhuesit e Ellen Show, trajtohen më mirë dhe shpesh u jepen dhurata që shfaqja merr nga sponsorët e saj.
"If she wants to have her show with her name on the show's title, she needs to get more involved to see what's going on. I think the executive producers surround her and tell her, "Things are going well, everyone is happy," and she just trusts you, but it is her responsibility to go beyond that. "
