List Of Employees Sent Home Following The Mass Retrenchment At KTN And Standard
This year has marked dark times in the media industry as many media houses have been forced to lay off some of their employees.
NTV started the trend by firing a sizable number of employees but Standard stole the cake as they have forced close to 25% of their employees into retirement.
