Are we in the wrong job?

The BBC hired one of the world's most expensive photographers to take portraits of its staff - even as bosses were complaining to MPs that it could not face any more cuts.
Rankin, who charges upwards of £20,000 a day, was booked for a photo-shoot with Yalda Hakim, a presenter on BBC World News, as part of a marketing campaign designed to boost the BBC brand overseas.   :o

They should have called me and I`d have knocked 10% off that daily rate and brought my own sandwiches for lunch  ;)

Right job, just a lack of PR skills.

I'm sure that the BBC are perfectly correct. This sort of thing is absolutely essential to the BBC's very existence. They are there to market their brand and adequately service their staff. Production of TV programs (or even ones for the wireless) isn't their main raison d'etre, it comes in at number three behind their web site designed and intended to be the first port of call of anyone wanting to see the news.

If cuts are made, the first to go will be the minority interest programs ("minority" carrying its usual meaning of "not lowest common denominator mass market").
Both income tax and lockdowns were introduced as temporary measures by the government.
