In an excerpt from an interview shared by Channel 66 itself, the director of the television station explained that, in recent months, the driver stopped answering the phone and abandoned the “natural synergy that a work team needs.”
“He actually finished his 5-day project, then we reduced it to 4, later he went to social networks and asked for only one day of work here on channel 66,” he said.
In addition, he highlighted that the driver had a peculiar style of reporting that they always respected and did not censor.
