Is the "jobs for life" culture the reason various behind-the-line workers and several journalists were made redundant?
There may be something in it - Martin Kelner, freshly let go from Radio Leeds, claims that it's a money saving thing, as two of the other main daytime presenters are staff SBJs they would be too expensive to get rid of, whereas he as a freelancer could be sacked at minimal expense.
If he was a freelancer he didn't have a 'job for life'.
Staff surveys regularly report staff are increasingly stretched with the same workload and fewer staff to do it following recent reorganisation projects Creative Futures and Delivering Quality First.
The BBC needs massive reform though. The "jobs for life" culture. Too many staff with literally nothing at all to do. I'm no accountant but I bet you I could have found a way to keep BBC Three on-air. I have to pay for the BBC regardless of whether or not I use it. I'm not allowed to own a television otherwise. That is unfair.
