Ellen crew claim awful treatment from production during pandemic

Crew members from Ellen DeGeneres’ long-running daytime talk show are distressed and outraged over their treatment from top producers amid the coronavirus pandemic, numerous insiders affiliated with the series told Variety.

The core stage crew for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” consisting of more than 30 employees, received no written communication about the status of their working hours, pay, or inquiries about their mental and physical health from producers for over a month, said two sources, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity. Higher-ups in production would occasionally answer phone calls but reveal little, added one of the sources. The crew was further incensed by the show’s recent hire of an outside, non-union tech company to help DeGeneres tape remotely from her home in California.

When production executives finally did weigh in, nearly all crew members were told last week to brace for a 60% reduction in pay, even as the show continues to air, according to sources close to the matter.

Celebrities behind the scenes not being as kind and caring as they make themselves come across on tv.... We been knew

 

To be fair tho i do wonder tho how much of the decision on this stuff is directly from Ellen and how much is others in the Network since it's her show but not her company

If this is happening with people in the entertainment industry whose boss is a globally known TV host, imagine the nightmares "regular" people are going through with their jobs/bosses, if they even still have a job. 

Ellen is a mess.

I used to watch her occasionally, but after this... I'm not watching her anymore. This is unacceptable
