When is redundancy not redundancy?
If you work for the BBC it appears that redundancy is anything but redundancy, or is it a way of giving state employees an extra bonus but not calling it a bonus?
Some 70 BBC workers received compensation or redundancy payments of around £57,000 each when the corporation moved to Salford, yet 17 workers carried on in the same job, with a further 15 who took the payment then moved to Salford and where re-employed by the BBC via a third party in the same job.
It appears that the BBC can shout and scream about bonuses that are earned in the private companies yet when their employees receive a tax payer funded bonus or large salary that is perfectly acceptable.
