While KBS is pushing for a license fee increase, the article’Blind’, an anonymous online community for office workers, is controversial inside and outside KBS.
On the 31st of last month, the author, who is believed to be a member of KBS, posted a mocking post saying, “There are a lot of complaints about KBS, but if you are capable, please come to KBS.” As the controversy grew, KBS apologized on the 1st, saying, “I’m very sorry and regretful.” Some also raised questions about whether the article was aimed at fostering criticism against KBS.
On the 31st of last month, in the’Blind’, a post saying, “There are a lot of complaints about our company.” An author who is believed to be a member of KBS said, “It’s frustrating. No matter what you say, our company’s retirement age is guaranteed. The license fee includes electricity, so you have to pay all the time.” “The average annual salary is 100 million and there is no such thing as incentives, so half of the employees receive more than 100 million annually. Please don’t swear at our employees outside, be able to do it, and if you have a chance, please be our partner.”
The author of the article is unknown, but the affiliated institution has been certified as KBS. In the case of blinds, the affiliated organization is authenticated through the company email. When signing up for the blind, you must verify your KBS e-mail so that the letters’KBS’ appear next to your ID.
This article has now been deleted. However, new articles are being created by capturing controversial articles. Even within the blind, the article is controversial. There is also a response that “I envy KBS,” but there are many criticisms that “we have to get rid of the subscription fee” and “not only reject the subscription fee, but also ask us to return what we have paid”.
In addition, comments were posted saying, “I doubt that such aggro is a real employee” and “X-man, other KBS employees seem to want to hit him.” Another blind user who was certified as an employee of KBS also commented, “Is it a real employee?”
Users who authenticated KBS employees expressed their apology, such as “I will apologize instead”, “I’m sorry”, and “I sincerely apologize for causing concern.”
It is a comment that doubts the intention of a blind user who posted a post stating that it would worsen public opinion in a situation where KBS is putting all efforts into raising the license fee, such as putting a’subscription fee adjustment plan’ to the board of directors at the end of last month.
KBS apologized on the 1st. KBS said, “An anonymous post by a person who is believed to be a KBS employee in the online community (blind) of the workplace is controversial online,” said KBS. “There is an article posted that cannot be considered as the common sense of KBS members. “I am very sorry and regretful for any reason,” he said.
“KBS will take this controversy as an opportunity for each employee, who is a member of the public broadcaster, who is the owner of the public, to reflect on themselves and improve their mindset.” “KBS will continue to reorganize the organization through improvement of the wage system and job redesign. I promise again that I will do my best to slim down and streamline management.”
Previously, on the 29th of last month, KBS claimed that “60% of KBS employees receive an annual salary of more than 100 million won, and 2053 people are unemployed”. Even if I do not have a position, I am working as a working person.” KBS explained, “Over the next five years, 908 high-paid employees will retire from KBS, and if new employees of an appropriate size are hired, the average annual salary for employees will decrease.”
