Five of the top earners of the ORF are gone: Kratky, Strobl, Weißmann, Aigelsreiter and Böhm

The article reports on the departure of five high earners from the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF): Robert Kratky, Pius Strobl, Roland Weißmann, Thomas Aigelsreiter, and Oliver Böhm. These individuals were identified through the ORF’s annual transparency list, which publishes employees earning over 170,000 euros annually. Kratky resigned early due to health reasons and was criticized for his earnings. Strobl was placed on unpaid leave after allegations of misconduct during his extended sick leave, including renting an office abroad. Weißmann resigned under pressure after being accused of inappropriate behavior, though he claims the termination was unjust. Böhm was immediately dismissed by the ORF, citing 'grave' misconduct. The article highlights internal conflicts and legal challenges surrounding these departures.
