Layoffs would have been motivated by owner wanting to resume dominance of Abr

Layoffs would have been motivated by owner wanting to regain dominion of Abr Ilma Passion alongside Alex Langer in recent event that the two participated together.

Since the beginning of the week, the Brazilian community in Massachusetts tries to understand what really happened so that Ilma Paixão Jehozadak Pereira was dismissed from Abr, the Brazilian Radio network. What most caught the attention was that the police were called to follow the whole process, since the arrival of the lawyer of the owner of the company, Alex Langer, until the dismissal of the dismissed.

The Brazilian Times spoke with a person who followed the whole story and said that the dismissal was fair. At the request of not having his name disclosed, this source reported that the dismissal should have happened three years ago. "But by the time everything was ready, Ilma managed to get around the situation and convince Langer not to fire her," he says.

According to the source, the whole story began about five years ago when Langer became ill and Ilma got a permit to take over the company. "Nobody understood anything. From night to day, she became the boss of the radio and began to make many changes, "he said.

According to the source interviewed by the Brazilian Times, both Langer, who is 57 years old, and his 92-year-old mother, are very afraid of Ilma. She did not reveal the motives, but assured that the former director had a tremendous hold on both and also on the control of their company. "Ilma had control over everything, even about his personal life and his cell phone," he continues.

At the time of his resignation, Langer stood outside the radio in his wheelchair, waiting for Ilma, Jehozadak and lawyer Niles Lang to leave the station. After the exit, the owner entered, went down the hall and went to his room.

Over time, according to the witness, Langer lost all control of his company and did not even know how much the station was making. "When he woke up and saw that something was wrong, some pastors and people who had programs for years were persecuted and lost their space, even though they were faithful to the payment," he says.

The source did not confirm, but also did not deny that the decision of Langer was influenced by these persecutions. "Ilma has made many enemies over the years, cutting schedules, making bans and demands," he said.

SECOND TRY

The dismissal happened only on the second attempt, according to the source. "This time, Langer talked a lot with his lawyer, worked out a strategy and acted only when he was sure that everything would work out," he says, pointing out that he even went through a psychological preparation.

Regarding the presence of the police, it was due to the fear that Langer had of Ilma reacting. "He was very afraid of her," he says.

Thales Paulino, a former employee of the station, was also at the scene and after his resignation, he was introduced as the new director of Abr.

According to a source who asked not to be identified, the story is even more complicated than a simple dismissal. "There will even be court battles," he said.

RADIO BRASILEIRA

After his resignation, some rumors surfaced on Facebook that Langer would plan to lay off all Brazilians and end up with "Rádio Brasileira". But in a statement published on the fanpage of the network, he said that his company remains more Brazilian than ever: "The Langer Broading Cast Group and the Abr - A Rádio Brasileira network - communicates to all our partners, the press and our esteemed listeners that the radio stations will be under new administrative management. It is with great joy that we also received back the president of the group, Mr. Alex Langer, after facing some health problems that made it impossible to be present in the routine of his companies. Incredible news is on the way for this year 2018 and its Abr is still very Brazilian, led by people. "

FOLLOWING ATTITUDES

After assuming the direction, the new direction changed all the locks of the transmitter, changed the passwords of the computers and Langer also had to change the locks of the doors of his house.

The Brazilian Times tried to talk to Ilma, but she did not respond to the calls. Jehozadak, despite having talked to BT as soon as the story became public, did not heed the following calls. Thales did not want to talk about it either.
