Mr. Aboagye mentioned that it appeared the company already wanted to dismiss some persons but had been reluctant.
The reluctance, he said, was because management put a human face onto the intended action.
The outbreak of the deadly Coronavirus and its impact on businesses, he said, has afforded Despite Media the opportunity to send these workers who were marked for dismissal packing, alongside others who have for some time now failed to live up to expectations.
“Interestingly, I had a conversation with my boss, Fadda Dickson yesterday. I was telling him a friend told me he had heard Despite Media had also laid some workers off. He told me there is an indication Despite Media would do so. Media organisations have realized they’ve been very charitable so they’d use COVID-19 as an excuse to reduce the number of employees… It is not just about Multimedia, it is not just about Global Media Alliance; my Despite Media inclusive,” he disclosed.
