The day I sacked Alan Jones, and how he got revenge

Then, one morning years later while working on a rival radio show that shared studio space with Jones, I watched Jones excoriate a hapless assistant over a technical malfunction. Jones roared and ranted, belittling the man’s abilities and accusing him of incompetence. The tirade was brutal and incessant. Several of us watching felt sickened at the sight of a colleague being shredded of his self-worth. To my lasting shame I, like others intimidated by Jones’s power, never intervened to defend him.
