NTV, one of the leading channels in Telugu, has recently finished Koti Deepotsavam program. Few days after this program has finished, reporters of the channel received messages on their mobile phones that they got transferred to some distant place. This created almost a panic among the employees of the channel. Details as below:
Employees of the channel, have been working really hard for last few months, not only because of the work as required by their job role but also because of the marriage of daughter of their owner Narendra chowdary . As soon as the marriage is over, NTV started this Koti Deepotsavam program that pulled down the ratings of the channel. As Koti Deepotsavam was telecast most of the time on their channel, it’s obvious that viewership and ratings came down for the channel. Now NTV management wants to cut down the costs as ratings and revenues impacted. But instead of directly sacking the employees, they sketched this master plan, according to which, the employees were suddenly transferred to distant places. So now employees have no option but to either report at the new location immediately or put papers and search for a new job.
Apparently shocked employees now fuming at their management for transferring in the middle of the academic year as it will affect the studies of their kids. Also they were hurt as they worked even for the personal works of Narendra Chowdary’s family. Still they are in a catch 22 situation and unable to decide whether to report at new office or put papers.
