BBC moves editor of Radio 1's Newsbeat after bullying allegations

The editor of Radio 1's award-winning Newsbeat programme has been moved from his post because of many complaints from the staff working with him for alleged bullying. Rod McKenzie, who denied the allegations, is understood to have been given a final written warning after the complaints which were included as part of theDinah Rose review into allegations of bullying and harassment at the corporation, published in May 2013.BBC News head of news programmes Ceri Thomas has briefed Newsbeat staff on Tuesday afternoon to tell them that the programme's editor was being moved to another part of the corporation. He will be going away for some time and will be back as a non network news role at the BBC.

My view:
I think that the BBC should of kicked him out forever because of his behaviour at work. What they have done now is, they have sent him away for some time but will call him back. This would give him other opportunities to do the same thing again. He will only learn from his mistake, only when they kick him out, otherwise i think he will do the same thing when he comes back. The BBC are ruinning their companies reputation by having people like him working for them. He should be kicked out BBC company, then he will learn something.
