Redundancies at MCN as the business ‘re-orientates’ for the future
Further integration with Foxtel has led to a round of redundancies at sales business MCN as it strives to “re-orientate” itself for the “future media environment”.
An MCN spokesperson confirmed the roles cut have been from the back-end operational teams, but was unable to confirm the number of people who would lose their jobs, as the business is still trying to relocate some staffers.
Re-orientates?
In this context, the verb is ‘orient’. The noun is ‘orientation’.
‘Orientate’ is a back-formation attempt at a verb based on the noun ‘orientation’.
Why not just stick with the verb and say “re-orients”?
Good grief…
Great story, no one cares though
