If BBC News gets a little shaky over the next couple of days, that's because, underneath the verbiage of strategic change and outreach (of which more later), the latest plan is really about putting 500 people out of work. And, as only BBC News can, they've invented a peculiar former of HR torture to deliver that result.
As in previous years, there's a trawl for volunteers to leave (with the pay-off cap still standing at £150k). You've got less than a month to make your mind up on that.
The All New 2021 Thumbscrew is requiring everyone below management level in Network News and World Service English "to tell us which three preferred areas or teams in the new structure you’d like to work in. This could be your existing or most equivalent team, or something completely different - a new location or department in News. We’re calling this process the ‘Preference Survey’. "
What use can this be ? I hope the Union advises everyone to write, first, their own, job; second, Huw Edward's job; third: Amol Rajan's jobs.
