More BBC staff to move to Salford
Despite the best of intentions, you can't help but think that something somewhere has gone badly wrong with how the reorganisation of the BBC has been planned. The concept of splitting the BBC into two or more units is still a good idea in principle but the nature of the announcements and their resultant timing can only lead to two possible conclusions.
Either that members of the BBC's upper management are too scared to "tell the truth" to BBC staff, therefore one or two of all their reorganisation announcements were pre-planned to be staggered, which in turn raises all sorts of awkward questions about who controls who at the BBC/who isn't in control of whom when they really ought to be.
Or alternatively last minute changes had to be made to head counts because some figures somewhere don't add up. Whatever the reason(s), it's about time someone at the BBC takes full responsibility of the situation instead of throwing uncertainty into the mix every so often; valued staff need to be trusted and supported instead of being used as political pawns in an ideology game.
It's the future of the BBC we're talking about here, and second rate staff management techniques are simply not good enough.
