A Meredith employee reached out to FTVLive and says that they feel completely betrayed by the television station owner.

“Months ago, the company said they were going to cut our pay and they did. “They told us the pay cuts were needed so that Meredith would not have to lay anyone off,” the employee said.

“Many of us weren’t happy about losing money that we agreed to in a contract, but we went along with it, to help save our co-workers’ jobs,” the staffer added. “And in the end, they still laid off a bunch of people, and I have to wonder if this wasn’t the plan all along?” the Meredith Anchor said.

The employee thinks the company pulled a “bait and switch”

The staffer says they feel betrayed and now says they will never trust anyone in management at Meredith ever again.

Can’t say that I blame them.
