2fm is gutter radio.
Can only imagine what the management team are like.
Article probably a bit too soon but if they treated her like shite why not call them out.

Because Ireland is small & only so many radio slots to go around. Never burn your bridges, and don’t bad mouth a previous employer. If Louise had moved on to bigger & better fair enough, but she’s basically at her kitchen table moaning about her kids, still putting them in crèche & her woke BoPo image hasn’t enticed her to anyone else 🤷‍♀️

Isn’t that the danger of being a contractor as opposed to an employee? No guarantees, no employment contract, no redundancy payout. The vast majority of presenters at RTE appear to be contractors. Is it for tax reasons or does RTE prefer that arrangement I wonder.
 
I felt sorry for her when I originally heard the news but after reading the article I don't blame 2fm for not letting her do her final show. Totally agreeing with the styling and makeup. Its desperate in the photos, she would have been far better doing it herself.
Also...
Editor- give me 2500 word interview on louise mcsharry leaving 2fm
Journalist- umm I only have 1000, sure I'll just add another 1500 words with bits from her book 🙄
 
I read the article, thanks for sharing!

As much as I liked the show I can’t get my head around her immaturity and sense of entitlement. I presume when she was appointed to the show 11 years ago it was because someone else’s contract wasn’t renewed, why did she think she was too good to receive the same treatment. Its reported constantly that broadcasters are dropped, chopped and changed at the behest of RTE management, based on the profile of the listenership. She admitted herself she felt at 40 she was becoming too old for the show and had started seeking other opportunities, why does she feel that RTE are not entitled to do the very same thing? I work in HR and unfortunately have managed a lot of redundancy projects and the timing of the messaging is critical. The fact that she didn’t take that on board and went out with the news herself is childish and completely unfair for those in her team who would have seen it on social media before hearing it from their employer. Just selfish.
The comment at the end about looking to work with RTE again are comical, you’ve just done a hatchet job on the management there! I dont agree with the way RTE engages people, they can afford to treat people better than they do but she was well aware of the shortcomings it seems and was prepared to put up with them until it affected her directly, again I get it but if they’re pissed off enough to completely cut ties after her going out with the news before they wanted her to, I can hardly see them welcoming her back. The fact that she cannot see the reason why she didn't get that ‘adult’ conversation is wild. She lost that opportunity when she threw her toys out of the pram because RTE dared to treat her the way they treat everyone else?!

Someone here said main character syndrome 👏🏼
 
I assumed she would have briefed her team before the SM announcement.

I must admit I haven’t struggled with anything she said. The ongoing relationship with RTE will be interesting though - that may have been I’ll judge, but this is a generation of follow your bliss isn’t it. There are ways to operate in the corporate world (or whatever) that serves your ends better.

Agree with all of this. Louise seems high on her own supply.
 
Broadcasting in Ireland is so small though. Its RTE or nobody if you want to get on the airwaves, and RTE own everyone.

Except independant stations like iRadio which don't pay much, and she was made redundant from them before too!

I just don't see anyone making a living from a podcast here also. And it's an oversaturated market. I suspect she's going to do something that already exists, similar to Ready To Be Real by Síle Seoige, that type of podcast that focuses on conversations with women about women's issues.

(Incidentally I HIGHLY recommend SS's 2 episodes on menopause for anyone 45+, they were really clear and easy to understand, I ended up sending them to some of my friends, that's how great they were)
 
That interview is vominous. Someone needs to pull Louise gently aisle and have a quick word with her. Just to gently whisper that the world doesn’t revolve around her feelings, her beliefs and her attitude. If her social media is anything to go by, her friend seems to be a bunch of utterly self-absorbed, attention seeking ninnies and confining herself to the “what’s hot in the offensive charts gang” won’t get her far. She needs to wise up and honestly, honestly take a step back from it all and address her chronic health problem.

She’d call them bullies and trolls if they did.
Louise can’t do any wrong…
 
She’s currently giving health advice on her stories… so dangerous. Quote “you can pursue ‘health at every size’ [without weight loss as a goal]. There are people listening to her that will take what she’s saying as truth. It’s so wrong. She is not a medic. The medical risks associated with obesity are well documented and this gaslighting of followers with her interpretation of BoPo is just bonkers.

I just think the whole ‘this is triggering me’ ‘go educate yourself on contemporary thinking’ bullshit is going too far. YOUR ideas are just that! They aren’t MINE and I’m tired of people being perpetually offended that everyone doesn’t agree with them, it’s dangerous and wrong 🤬

Agreed! You can’t preach oh I’m plus size and healthy and then won’t take about being healthy.
regardless of how you want to swing it if you are eating fast food and over weight you are not healthy ! You are limiting your life. There’s no woke way to get around it. Can we not just get back to the basic facts ?!?
