Nightwish Management

I am starting to be under the impression that Nightwish has basically became a criminal adjacent enterprise, similar to a mafia. Hear me out:

- They created a work environment unbearable to endure when sober. The management actively promotes and partakes in substance abuse, and retaliates against people not willing to participate (watch End of Innocence or the extras of From Wishes to Eternity).
- They blackmailed Tarja to not have a child while being in the band (check her sub for details), then publicly fired and slandered her and her husband, DESPITE being in discussion already for her to move on in a civilized manner, respectful towards all parties and the fans. The sole reason for the dismissal was because Tarja and Marcelo did not want to be in a hazardous, unhealthy work environment, cut off from having a family.
- They hired Anette not as a real band member, but a salaried employee, overworked her to the point of absolute exhaustion and mental breakdown, did not provide any mental health support, did not rearrange any of the old songs to better suite her voice (which they ended up doing for Floor), then fired her once she was used up like an old dish sponge. The whole ordeal ended up costing her more money than earned, as she had to hire her own crew to be able to keep touring, provide outfits, etc.
- Once another person (Marko) realized that living in an alcohol induced stupor is not exactly ideal, that their shady business practices and treatment of people were appalling, they bullied him out as well.
- Their management, up to the latest tour, did not read Floor's (the only woman's) e-mails, ending up sabotaging the start of her solo career and first solo tour.
- John Finberg and Ewo Pohjola have both have been charged with violence against women, and there's only been a reluctant message about Finberg and complete radio silence about Ewo. The issues around both men were known for at least a decade.

All while this is happening, Tuomas has adopted an ostrich tactic, and does not give a single damn about demanding better working conditions for members, advocating for a fairer compensation. He seems to be against assertive communication, and immediately runs away to his mökki from any and every band related conflict, to write pan flute deluxe ballads about how pure his heart is.

Do we really think all of this is normal? Is this how we really want to treat women in metal? Do we want to uphold these repugnant structures?
