As the title suggests this company is about 15-25 years off being put out of existence by the blind, arrogant and top heavy senior management that is in place at RTE. They still believe that they can compete with the likes of Youtube, Netflix and all the other entertainment platforms even though there is no strategy to actually attract a new audiences or to even keep the current. As a semi state organization it is full of red tape except for those in high positions or if you are friends with anyone high up and this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what is wrong with this company. All functions of the company seem to reflect RTE's inconsistency and unorganized manner of getting things done and they don't link together meaning that you have to go from one function to the next to get an answer (HR - Finance - payroll etc). Dealing with employees who are late, sick or not even doing their jobs doesn't exist either except for those who actually do their job and if we need anything their is no flexibility at all. I would suggest to anyone who has ambition in their career to stay away from RTE, don't get fooled into the old adage of working for RTE is the best thing since sliced bread, its a failing company, run by people who are only looking out for their own interests and employs people who either leave very quickly or stay there and stagnate.
