Huh. Even BBCers don’t like the BBC.
The Tim Davie-appointed director of BBC Sport has been warned of “very low” staff morale amid suggestions his controversial reforms are breaching employment law.
Complaints were shared with Alex Kay-Jelski after he sent an internal memo saying those unhappy with change, and their options, could seek voluntary redundancy.
Aka if you don’t like it here you know where the door is.
A recent email to staff from Kay-Jelski that mentioned redundancies alongside options including training and extra support has further unnerved staff. “If the thought of more change is something that concerns you or you feel the direction we’re heading in is not the right fit for you, please have an open conversation with your line manager or Catherine Littler in HR to discuss all available options, including potential voluntary redundancy,” wrote Kay-Jelski, who arrived as director of sport last year.
Aka if you don’t like it here you can always leave.
It’s not a subtle message.
