An email we received in response to Young Vic's statement yesterday

I just received an email anonymously which is in response to Young Vic's statement on their own blog about what's been happening with redundancies. (N.B. I've edited it a bit as it was quite long).
Please note that we are generally not writing posts ourselves but posting material emailed in to us. It is always indicated when a post has been sent to us.

The Young Vic know very well which dismissals are being referred to, they choose not to comment because they have been unfair.
 Well done Young Vic for mentioning BECTU here and paying them lip service. At what stage were any of your employees contacted to discuss decisions which would have major implications on their lives alone? And  only after pressure was exerted were BECTU brought in...but mentioning BECTU is meaningless now, they had to be forced by their own members to fight for adequate compensation.  No one can be reassured by BECTU anymore, their reputation is  in tatters. So to mention BECTU now does not wash.
I wish the complaints from FOH were merely  FOH complaints. They aren't and they can't be because they are a micro of the macro...as is being indicated on the blog, most staff are afraid for their jobs and will not speak out. The emphasis has shifted from a holistic approach to a more compartmentalised one, where workers are stuck in their own departments and do not mingle, a bit like the NT... this is due to a regime change at the top.
Where once there was a creative synthesis- which in a small but crucial way involved the Ushers and their treatment of the audiences- there is now disparity. I was once proud to wear my Young Vic red tshirt.

I am speaking because I care and if that is wrong, misguided or whatever, then you may say that of everyone when they choose to care passionately about anything. ..I agree with a comment made by a full time and years long member of staff not representing FOH views, when they say the Young Vic has lost and is losing its most passionate and dedicated workers and supporters, and that this fact is concealed from the Artistic Director by some members of senior management.
To anyone who thinks these issues are resolved now because BECTU have waded in and everyone can go phew! they are not. For as long as the Young Vic continues to be blase about how they treat their employees there will always be a problem.
Young Vic, you have taught us, your own employees, to expect better. You have taught us too well. And that is what is demanded now- better. Just better.
n/b- as a note I do not wish to detract from the artistic work the Young Vic endeavours to concern itself with. I do not wish undermine the work some of its senior staff are preoccupied with. In the end though, people matter more. In the end a petition is better than a play. Maybe. I only write this because I loved the YV and hate to see what is happening to it now.
It is to be regretted that all that has been happening over the last few days has probably caused stress and anxiety. I think everyone regrets this  and there is probably a wish that things could have been resolved in other more adult ways. Hearts and minds are at stake here.
