RTVS employee openly: Merčiak’s case was not the ONLY – Pluska.sk

The reason for the current conflict was a change in the ski jumping race, which was originally supposed to be at 12.00 our time, but which they changed to 13.00. Marcel Merčiak told the audience the wrong information in a live broadcast from the Olympics, and when he learned that he had reported stupidity, he exploded. “Why did you cut me like that, until you see it’s 13:00, until you say, and let me say …” Merčiak shouted. “Don’t yell at me here, I’m not … a certain Braňo shouted at Merčiak. According to our information, this was an experienced broadcast director Branislav Ramacsay.

An RTVS spokeswoman explained to us that the conversation did not appear on live television, but was a private communication, which a previously unknown person from the RTVS environment published on the Internet. Public television immediately took a radical step. “RTVS has thoroughly investigated the situation surrounding the leaked recording of the private conversation of the employees. The person whose actions led to the escape of the conversation in question is no longer an employee of RTVS, which they reached by mutual agreement with their immediate superior. However, we would like to emphasize that this person was not in direct conflict with Marcel Merčiak and the publication was not preceded by personal conflicts from the past or the present. RTVS takes a very responsible approach to the atmosphere and relations at the workplace, and we will also deal with the situation internally with Marcel Merčiak after his return from Beijing. “ spokeswoman Andrea Pivarčiová informed.

From the moment the recording appeared on the Internet, Slovakia split into two camps. One stands behind Marcel and claims that everyone gets nervous at times and it was dirty from a colleague, the other group doesn’t have a good word for Merčiak and says that it was only a matter of time before one of the subordinates of the arrogant Merčiak would paint. “In the corridors, there is talk of a well-known commentator in such a spirit that it’s hard to meet a more arrogant person … Such communication with ‘colleagues’ is the order of the day,” a certain Vladimir said.

Either way, this is not always ideal in any team. A former RTVS employee, Mrs. Lucia, also knows about thiswho was also bullied for years by her superior, but dealt with the situation in a different way. “If someone feels that something is wrong in any company, including RTVS, they have the legal means to do so in the Labor Code. I went through the bullying myself in RTVS (not in sports) and I solved it with a lawyer and also solved it. No, it’s not a pleasant feeling to sit in front of a lot of managers with a lawyer by your side, but so does someone who is really looking for the truth and cares about the truth. It has several stages through an intervention meeting with the company’s management, including the unions, until it is heard by members of the RTVS Council. “ Mrs. Lucia wrote openly.

“It simply came to our notice then. But certainly not in the way that my former colleague demonstrated. So no, I will never understand such people. Let them feel that they have been hurt in any way – what he has done is ordinary human meanness, hoarseness and cowardice, and I am very surprised by those who advocate such behavior. It was internal communication, yes, incorrect, and the colleague, if at least a bit of a guy, would have handled it the way I had handled it. But he obviously didn’t have the courage to do so. “ added a lady who also worked in a public institution. However, everyone is already wondering how to close the case after Marcel’s arrival from Beijing.
