TV cockroach bugs President – fires 30
Thirty people lost their jobs on Turkmenistan's state run television channel after a cockroach crossed the news desk during a live broadcast. Soon after taking office President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov ordered the central Asian broadcaster to transform its culture from the soviet era image. The cockroach was apparently a vivid reminder of the older style so the president ordered the firings.
If your company is trying to break with a past culture, how far will you go?
If you want to change your image how serious about it are you?
No one can doubt the seriousness of President Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.
