**Karyn Hay** has been the subject of an independent employment investigation following a complaint from a producer about her alleged behaviour.

The original terms of reference for the inquiry focused on three areas: that Hay allegedly spoke negatively about others, including producers, presenters, and management; that she had allegedly behaved aggressively using a tone of voice that conveyed hostility; and that she had allegedly undermined colleagues in the studio environment, including maintaining unrealistic expectations.

Surprising that Newstalk ZB have Mikey Beban (talkback listener \> today fm late host) covering Jim Snedden on Overnight Talk rather than just giving Miles Davis his old gig back. Poor old Miles has to make do with filling on The Platform once in a while.

I mean they jumped at giving Piney another job after he left for that very short stint at SENZ.
