To cry or not to cry for retrenched SPH staff

Mothership.sg posted an article on a townhall meeting by Warren Fernandez, the editor in chief of SPH, to announce the retrenchment of 130 staff. The article said Fernandez said two things that infuriated or exasperated the staff at the meeting. One was to blame the IT department for locking out the staff from using the company's computer system and the other, the hiring of 10 foreign correspondence while talking about retrenching so many staff.

Fernandez also said SPH is still doing well with profit up by 32% to $350 million despite lowering revenue in some sectors. Some may want to question the need to resought to retrenching staff when the company is still growing its profits, but one thing that stood up like a sore thumb is the intent to hire 10 foreign correspondents.
 

Big question, who are these 10 foreign staff, from where, to do what that the retrenched staff cannot do or be trained to do? Are the skills requirement or expertise so special that none of the staff can do or can be trained to do? It would be criminal to hire foreigners and not retraining or redeploying retrenched staff if the new jobs can be done by these staff. Are there really jobs that are so specialised that only foreigners can do?

Are these foreigners from top notch foreign media from developed countries or 'foreign talents' from third world countries with top notch third world credentials and experienced to replace the retrenched staff? Or is this another sign of the Pinkerton Disease? Imagine Channel News Asia replacing its native staff with angmohs to report news from western perspective and interests? It would then be more appropriate to be renamed Channel News Angmoh. Where is ST heading, West or Third World?

Would SPH be transparent and enlighten on this hiring and would MOM be interested to know the details and could these 10 positions be saved for the retrenched staff?

Dunno want to cry or to pity the retrenched reporters. Hopefully they are not Singaporeans and to be replaced by foreigners in another case of Singaporeans got no talent or the required specialised skills of third world reporters.

Just wait and see how this case is developing and how it turns out to be.

Are the retrenched staff unionised? If they are, let's see what the staff union have to say about the 10 foreign correspondents hired in the wake of the retrenchment of local staff.

Retrenchment staff on one hand, on the other recruiting foreigners!

Feel very very very sorry to their families!

All the best!

Just vote Opposition in GE 2020.
It's no point talking anymore.

Do you think the President, the 5 mayors of Singapore, will support an Opposition government?

If only the SPH journalists were to report the Truths of what's really happening in this Little Dot and objectively critised the PAP as need to, then with 30% percent of Opposition dissenters of at least a few hundred thousands, they may become their loyal subscribers.

With this numbers and revenue of advertisemens, they might not be retrenched as their profits met the target of those Greedy PIGS in the Ivory Towers who do nothing but Yap Yap and Yap.

But, sadly, the PAP put their use out of date Failures after amassing great wealth to go in as Chairman and Top Brass to control and gag them.

To write what is their Truths and Others Truths as Untruths.

So, they got the Dubious Title of "The Shit Times"

Now, unlike our past whereas the Bosses before they even asked you to chiak kia kee will think of your families welfare now chiak ang mo sai Hired And Fired like DT.

The employees can earned them millions every good years but just beacuse this year dropped by a mere million, they fired you without thoughts of your survivals.

They think that the Foreign Trashes will bring life to their papers???

You think the Foreign Journalists can write what they want??

If they do, they won't last a month. If they does, Chan Chun Seng and Shamemugan and loony Loong got to take Extra Strong Pandol.

You think it will bring sales and glory back???

FAT HOPE. They will muzzled at all cost their mistakes and wrong policies.

Hopefully, those enlightened and educated journalists from ex-SPH who are been wrong by the Papies would join the Opposition Parties and stand for elections next GE.

They knew what's really happening in Sinkieland but are been muzzled to report so.

Cheers

Will voting PAP prevent u or your loved ones to be rentrenched n replaced? So are there only moles left in SPH? Will there be a resurgence in readership after the retrenchment exercises? So many questions.. Warren Fernandez is in charge during years of failing readership..how come he's not replaced.. did he take a pay cut? How come still the same tired opinion pieces being sprouted.. don't they know what to do with broken records? Aiyo.. so many questions...hehe

Anonymous said...

Because in the eyes of SPH top management, those retrenched staff have no more value for SPH to retain. So they were retrenched lor. It's that simple.

Even WP Teochew Ah Hia was also seen as having no more value for nearly 50% Aljunied voters to retain as their MP in GE 2015. That's why Ah Hia nearly lost.

Lesson:

Whether as reporters or as politicians, or whatever lah, don't make yourself to be seen as having no more value to those who hire you, or from whom you need their votes, or whatever lah.

Journalism everywhere is the same? What's to train our locals what the Foreign Trashes do??

Our locak journalists been muzzled and takes the direction and cue from their Editors in Chief or what's Head of Department what to write and what's not to report.

Now, you blame them for been mediocre??

Foreign papers had their Chiefs not in tandem with the ruling government or President like America.

So, day in and day out, they will bombast them. Their journalists took the cue and followed their directions.

Here, the Editors In Chief and Head of Departments are all under the PAP balls.

So, how to bring life to the Papers.

Only dared critised a bit on commercial entities like SMRT.

Reported very adverse and big.

Dared to report against Loony Tunes??

Singaporean voters are daft not to realize that Party interests in past 20 years have steadily not aligned with their interests, worst still in past 5 to 10 years many times it against our interests, eg indiscriminate aggressive FT policy at PMET level, aggressive unwarranted hiking of tariffs, ministerial sky high pay without commensurate performance, extreme fixing of the only opposition Workers Party, disrespect of truth & honesty, basic constitutional rights of citizens & set-up in recent PE, "dishonorable son using state organs against siblings" and wayang through, screwed up appointment of key appointment holders like Ho Jinx & paper generals (still continuing), lack of accountability & transparency at GIC & Tummysick, etc, etc.
It's really daft to believe the Party propaganda day in & day out & still vote for them and not holding them to accountability. Our precious vote is the only way to talk to such stubborn self-serving powerful politicians. Don't waste your vote; protect your interests.

Many of them long-time prostitutes of 20 years or more. They KNOW what the fuck they were doing & CONTINUED to write & print bullshit propaganda for their PAPpy masters, in exchange for fat pay & big bonuses!

So what kena retrench?!?!? Live by the sword die by the sword. Already got 100s of thousands sinkies kena retrenched or fired before them.

Anyway these SPH prostitutes got generous retrenchment packages, better than standard civil service: 1 month's pay for each year of service, cap at 25 years + paid-for atas HR consultancy packages to help them get another job.

Heard of tv station interviewing "stranger" for opinion and often some similar opinions are broadcast over the air. The method is to ask a unknown reporter to be interviewee and make the video like real. Want to hear private taxi driver making $9000pm? Can be done. But this is called fake news. How about making $7000pm? Is this fake news?

Sinkies no longer daft. Those named by old fart as daft have joined him in pee ah pee new party oredi, selling diapers. Conscious voters still need to distinguish news, real or fake on main media.

Instead of reading main media, they read every country s media and twitter in the morning. Why do they want house154th standard?

House154th can hire another 100 foreign correspondence writing about indians at various locations on sunny lands. Where are the readers? Real voters do not read those stuff created by pinoys and indians reporters.

The real problem is contents. The house154th needs to find back creative staff to make good news about MWC increment, about industry jobs vacancies available for grab at least $3k a month, those are news readers will check them up.

House154 must be getting ready to shut the shuttle. Its profit came from selling assets, not readership advertising revenues. Anyone plays this counter will have known its price used to be $5 and above. Look at it now, u will not dare to buy. Its main mission for the organization is lost. Monopoly to sell news on sinkieland and yet lose its power as main news provider. That s sinkieland s fate in future. Good location, but did not generate good money. Future is at Malacca. Go there to sell wen pao might make some money. But S$1 or 3 over ringits, which Malacians want to pay such high price for the empty big font titles with little contents?

SPH will be a thing of the past if it does not change. The more it aligns with government, it becomes less relevant to the public. I am not saying media should not be working along with government initiatives but when reporting, there must be fair views. Already we can see advertisement dwindling. In early days, we have a thick pile of newspaper on weekend. Majority are advertisement, be it jobs or companies advertising their wares.

3. One "high level water alert" switch failed
