9 retrenchments in 9 years of your stay at Times Group. Mr Chikadya accept that you have failed and allow a fresh pair of hands to run the company. Don’t wait for the board to fire you, if at all there is a board. You have destroyed the careers of many up and coming journalists because of your faith in retrenchments.

Sad, very sad indeed. Please reduce obscene fat salaries/allowances to save a few jobs. Nanga anthuwa apita kuti abale. Other Media Houses cannot absorb any more employees. In fact they are probably considering Lay-offs as well.

Times Television News has gone really bad since Gracian Tukula left. Mr Chikadya look into this seriously. The TV news does not inspire confidence

Chikadya has failed, he must be the first to leave the organisation. This entity has gone from bad to worse during your tenure, There is no job satisfaction at Times Group employees are always afraid of their fate, John Maxwell said this in one of his books, Everything lies upon leadership. You have failed to manage the entity, Its high time you give a chance to new blood.
