Australian arm as US parent removes CEO
The most powerful man in Australian pop music, Denis Handlin, has been removed as head of Sony
music Australia, a week after Guardian Australia approached Sony’s head office with multiple complaints from former employees alleging a toxic work environment at the global company’s Australian operation.
The complaints, which are aimed broadly at the workplace culture rather than specific individuals, include allegations of
Sexual Harassment at work events, intimidating behaviour, alcohol abuse and the unfair treatment of
Women in the workplace. They span more than two decades.
