Popular TV Station Allegedly Shutting Down, Kate Kamau (Celina) and Other Employees Rendered Jobless
2016 kicks off in a gloomy note for a huge number of Ebru TV employees.
A source form the organization informed us that a huge section of the employees have been laid off and 3 bosses from Turkey (where Ebru is based) have already left the country.
Part of the Termination of Employee Contract reads:
“Due to the management changes our company is going for a strategy changes, therefore we are
sadly informing you that we will not be able to work with you at the end of January. Your
contract termination is attached to the mail. Thank For Your Service”
This message by ‘Sugar and Spice’ could also be a sign of what is to come:
One of my best career experience 2015 . I have learnt so much .. thank you @millychebby @terencecreative for teaching me the ropes and of course to the management and crew at @ebruafrica @sugarandspiceebru THANK YOU .
Speaking to Ghafla, an Ebru TV representative revealed that just like any business entity, they decided to review their business strategy. Part of this review, as management practices would dictate, is cutting down on the human resource. As a result, each department within the TV station has been affected.
As for now, the TV station has no intentions or any near plan to shut down but they have decided to reduce the number of programs they have been undertaking. To this end, key flagship programs took a break.
In, addition, the representative claims no Ebru Africa boss has left the country for Turkey and all the terminated contracts of their esteemed employees were done in accordance to the law.
