BBC staff are left in the cold -- job cuts announced
 THE price of preserving the BBC is the pain of job cuts, which could lead to 10,000 staff leaving, the Director-General announced yesterday. Staff were shocked and unions threatened strike action as Mark Thompson announced one of the biggest reforms in the corporation's history. BBC employees who supported Greg Dyke's methods are now facing the consequences after Mr Thompson criticised "four years in which we haven't stressed productivity and efficiency very much".What? We cannot discontinue Euro laziness. Are you out of your mind? The first to go are 2,500 staff working in human resources, finance, marketing, training, legal services and other non-programme-making departments. The department, known as "professional services", takes the brunt of the savings, losing nearly half its staff and facing a budget cut of £57 million. Posted by: Poison Reverse 2004-12-08 |
