BBC redundancies

[Link]

I can't believe the incompetency of the BBC. They have managed to upset their staff by asking for voluntary redundancies, never a good idea.

If you are good at your job and wanted by other employers it's a gift and an incentive to move. If you are not great why would you volunteer knowing you might not get a job as good again.

To make matters worse the BBC is saying it's not guaranteed volunteers will get it.

"A BBC spokesperson said: ‘This isn’t about any new job cuts - it’s a standard HR exercise relating to savings we’ve announced previously - and it’s not targeting any individuals; we have to send it to everyone who’s at the same grade. We’re looking for expressions of interest in redundancy, not offering it, and it’s not the case that any or everyone who came forward would be accepted.’ "

So basically they have decided to upset everyone rather than target people.

It is far better to lance the boil, identify the useless and the overpaid and tell them the bad news.

Sigh.

BBC London has now described those complaining about the ULEZ extension as being made up of right wing activists.

This is getting utterly ridiculous. As soon as you have legitimate concerns over a policy that has very little support and is being actively challenged by local authorities and County councils you get called right wing. It is completely wrong and the BBC are totally out of order for publicising it as such.

There are a lot of very angry people in areas around the fringes of London at the moment and we all know that the installation of cameras is Khan’s first move in charging any movement within the London Boroughs within the M25 by the mile.

Oooh...does that mean Alex Scott may be getting the old heave-ho?

I know, I can but hope...

Not a chance - that would be racist and anti feminist!
