CEO Only Looks Out for Himself - Editor Salem Media Group Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We value both the positive & negative feedback as it allows us to see how we can improve for the future. Regarding the recent challenges faced by the company, we acknowledge that the decision to address profit loss led to difficult changes, including layoffs and modifications to our benefits structure. We understand that these changes have been impactful, and we genuinely empathize with the concerns and emotions that they may have caused among our employees. The decision to end 401k matching and adjust salaries for those that relocate going forward was not taken lightly. Our aim was to ensure the long-term sustainability of the company, which would, in turn, protect more jobs and foster an environment for growth in the future. While we know these changes may be disheartening, we remain committed to providing competitive compensation packages and benefits to our team members. In terms of the perception of higher-ups not making sufficient sacrifices, we assure you that every decision was made after careful consideration of its impact on all employees. Leadership is continuously evaluating strategies to lead the company through challenging times and ensure its long-term success. However, we understand that there may be room for improvement in communication and transparency around these decisions. We genuinely appreciate your dedication during your time here, and we encourage you to reach out to us directly to discuss your concerns further. Our door is always open to listen and learn from your perspective. Please contact us at hr@salemmedia.com or 805-233-3129.
