Radio presenter with media powerhouse, Despite Media Group, Kwasi Aboagye has revealed his firm might have to sack some people also due to the ripple effect of the coronavirus pandemic.
Over the last few days, the media space has been hit with a series of shocking dismissals as media houses struggle to make enough money to redeem their obligations to their workers.
The worst hit by the media clean up can be said to be Y107.9FM, that has had to let go some of its biggest names including Caroline Sampson, Ms Naa amongst others.
Commenting on the issue on his Entertainment Review, Kwasi Aboagye revealed that, there are indications some workers of Despite Media Group will be fired before long.
He said; “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.”
