What a loser and coward Kent is, not even saying sorry instead acting like a school kid over this incident which himself, Gordy and Hoops are all accountable for. Regardless if the joke went forever or not if someone asks you to stop, you stop. Not just with jokes, but in general.

  • Not saying sorry for bullying a colleague, then writing an article about why he isn't sorry...FMD
    He will then blame this on the 'CP woke police' because he is being held accountable for his own shitty actions and refusing to accept his role in poor behavior.

    I'm all for banter between mates, there is social currency in being able to give and take, and we all need the skills and emotional intelligence to know what it is, and what it isn't, but you also need to understand when enough is enough and if you cross the line with a friend/colleague because it can affect other people negatively

    This guy is a dead-set wanker. I hate that I have to watch 360 with this guy to get my weekly footy fix. Will not miss him at all during my Sunday drive listening to the footy.

    • Wonderfully said, banter happens and is healthy. Though if someone says to stop you should stop.

  • I had a chuckle at this story, given all the noise in the media about people bullying JA a couple of weeks ago.

    • MeelK yes agreed media and some on online forums!

       

  • What a Kent! 

  • They call whinging women a Karen maybe we can call whinging men a Kent

  • Kent is a nasty, narcissistic, horrible piece of work. 
    I saw he already blamed 'snowflakes' for being offended. Your friend (at least Maroon thought so) had asked you many times to stop with the ATO joke. There was obviously a reason for it. Maybe he actually did get into trouble for some tax stuff and is highly sensitive and worried about future ramifications. Especially if his on air colleagues keep accusing him of illegal acts. So to go on and on about it, even when Maroon was becoming obviously distressed is pure bullying plain and simple. 
    "But, but Maroon called me names too". What are you fu*%ing 12 years old Kent? 
    The fact you can't find the humility to apologise says volumes about you as a person. 

    • You are right Mutt's, perhaps Maroon was actually investigated by the ATO and found nothing but still really affected him.

  • how could management ignore his requests. Absurd

  • Do you think kent would've carried on as he did if this was about Tallis? no chance!

    Gordy would've decked him

What happened to the Frenchman?
We probably need to be realistic a bit when it comes to Pezet.
He is new to our systems after being in the Storm for years and we're building new combinations.
I agree with Michael Witt. He is probably 3–6 years…"
