This is obviously a statement written by a disgruntled former employee or by a malicious counterpart. At Punch TV we created more than 150 new jobs. Part of this new job creation was with the County of Los Angeles under there welfare to work program. Under the “Welfare to Work” program, the county of Los Angeles’ goal was to put residents of Los Angeles County to work, by allowing those people to work on-site at the Punch TV Network studios. Many of these people have never held full time employment and required extensive training. We at Punch TV initially embraced this opportunity to help our community. Punch Television Network was active in making a change and in making a difference in our community. Under this program we were allowed to evaluate the work habits and work ethics of these potential employee candidates. Unfortunately not everyone was able to meet the tough job requirements and the competitive nature of the entertainment industry. It became an overwhelming and daunting task to train people that did not have the skill sets to do the job. This also was a major drain on the resources of Punch TV Network. We regretfully had to suspend the program and only hire a hand full of the candidates that proved that they had the moxie to make it as a team player.
These are tough economic times and even tougher for small businesses across America. This recession has hit home in every part of the world’s economy and Punch TV Network is no exception. But any time that we can help our community we will.
If you have an ax to grind please contact me directly CEO Joseph Collins and let’s reasonably discuss your issue. I welcome your call. If you actually worked at Punch TV Network then you have my direct number.
