Layoff Bloodbath in Media industry
Terrible reports coming in of sackings without exit packages, journos being asked to go on leave without pay to wrapping up of some editions & desks altogether from across newsrooms in India. Salary cuts to fight out crises times are understandable but sudden layoffs are cruel!
This bloodbath is in a sector that is functional. It will turn into a torrent when lockdown ends and other sectors take stock.

Not sure why the media industry in particular is sacking its employees? Times are bad, but the journalists and the reporters have made all efforts to bring news from all over the world. The PM has asked the employers in his speech today not to sack employees. In the UK, the government has vowed to fund up to 80% of an employee's salary in this difficult period. Working from home is a good alternative to make the employees productive. If India is careful it will overcome the crisis better, and if the restrictions are not followed as per the plans, the losses would be huge. We are a populated country with a greater percentage of the population still unprotected from the vagaries of the nature. Let all of us fight the menace together and help the media industry in protecting the interest of its employees. more
