Bullying in the workplace is never OK. However, bullying in the workplace is a separate issue to this matter. One of many that AMP must deal with. This matter stands separate for the reason that it was designed to target the very advisers AMP had recruited and placed in debt. Those advisers had been given debt where the size of the debt was determined and in many cases funded by AMP companies. Most internal staff are bit players and not the ones any enquiry should be seeking to hear from. AMP (the brand) is now a stain on the financial landscape when it was once a blue chip firm. Someone in there did this. The board, senior management, internal legal advice. The scale is very different but the style and impact is very much like the robodebt scandal now engulfing some politicians and senior public servants. Where are staff that authored the reports and recommendations which lead to this? The conflict of interest in framing and implementing this program to separate AMP from the advisers they happily screwed over should be highlighted. Having said all this, I will declare that I am not now, nor have I ever been an AMPFP adviser.
