Resolving the Problem

Whenever a celebrity moves to another network, changes in his/her new home are bound to happen. Of course, certain network talents would also make adjustments, especially if the transferee can do the job better. Thus, homegrown talents often feel a bit of challenge in addition to having to welcome the new arrival. If they are in the same field, chances are the new arrival might just have more exposure than them and they might have to rethink their career plans.

Such situation is a reality in any company. A new employee can create tension in the company if he/she has talents that present employees are capable of doing. Redundancy can be a ground to let go of employees in lieu of the more talented recruit. When New Transferee (NT) inked her signature on the dotted line, everyone was excited for her. NT’s arrival signaled a higher level of talent that the young ones often dream of emulating. NT sets the bar and this time, she has a plethora of young talents to work with and perhaps, train.

Meanwhile, the talents within the league of NT were confident of their status in the network and were as equally excited to work with NT, that is, until changes were announced. The Main Casualty (MC) of NT’s hiring allegedly walked out of a meeting upon hearing the plans of a show that has been her baby in the network. The years of hard work of MC for the show were discarded and she saw possibilities of her eventual fading out. Being a professional, MC kept quiet and did not rant in social media. However, stories of her becoming emotional in private were in the grapevine.

When NT heard about MC’s walkout, she felt bad, as she and MC have been friends over the years and they do have future shows in the planning stage. NT felt uncomfortable that her coming over has affected MC. Besides, the bashing of alleged fans of MC were non-stop on top of the below-the-belt comments that resulted from her career move. Consequently, the once docile NT in social media became a fierce and defensive responder.

Nonetheless, NT did the next best thing. She requested the production not to drop MC, but rather adjust her exposure. The exposure might be lesser than before, but MC should not be taken out. Moreover, NT went out of her way to talk to MC and assure her. MC was pacified and decided to be open to the show once again. Friendship prevailed and all is well.
