The embattled blogger who has been trending for days after being chastised by Nana Aba Anamoah at the audition of “The Next TV Star” Show has landed a juicy job.
After the drama and the video that went viral on social media, his employers at GHBase took to their social media page to announce that he has been relieved of his position as a writer on the blog.

In the post he made, he wrote;
“I believe in second chances and all my writers including Albert knows it.
In September I tracked the performance of writers and noticed about 3 of them didn’t meet the monthly targets.
So to ensure they meet the targets, I decided to pay them based on the number of stories they were able to produce.
In October also I noticed 2 writers didn’t meet the threshold, I was going to pay them based on the number of stories they’ve produced but upon second thoughts, I decided to give them their full salary and forfeit any bonuses they had won.
Now Albert was one of the two writers.
I felt perhaps he couldn’t handle the number of stories a day being given to him, so I told him, I would reduce the stories he would do a day, so he can meet targets and that means a reduction in salary.
He pleaded that I give him November to prove his worth again and gave reasons why he had been underperforming.
I agreed and said it’s a challenge then, if you don’t meet the targets again, you will be laid off.
Now yesterday I saw the first of Sheldon’s screenshots of him contacting him on September 29th—I assumed he must have been angry when his salary was cut, so didn’t want to take action on it.
Then I saw another screenshot of a message he sent him again on October 29th telling him how serious he was and that he wanted to make a move.
Note this, I didn’t sack him because he was looking for other opportunities, but the fact that he was making me feel stupid by asking for a second chance with an intention to leave the moment Sheldon takes him at a time he wasn’t meeting thresholds.
He had been planning to leave Ghbase already, considering that he messaged Sheldon again on 29th October same month he still underperformed and had asked for one last chance in November from me.

I don’t know how much blogs pay for writers in Ghana but I am confident I have one of the best rates in the country for a work-at-home job.
We learn from our mistakes and become better. Whether he starts his own platform or gets hired by another, I pray he succeeds. (TV3 sacked Nana Aba but they are both doing fine or? And CNN also fired Piers Morgan but Piers is good, CNN is also good )
Salaries at Ghbase start at Ghc1,000 to Ghc2,000 a month with bonuses ranging from Ghc100-Ghc600.
And we don’t treat the job as full time, because some have their shift in the morning, afternoon or evening so you can do any side gig you want even if it involves writing for another blog but most importantly you have to meet your thresholds.
We have an office space for writers as well but it’s optional to be there.”

Reacting to this, US-based journalist Ekow Kelvin Taylor has offered to employ the young man and make him the entertainment editor of his website. He added that he will be paying him a permanent wage every month.
“I want to say this if anybody knows the boy I’m going to employ him permanently and I’m going to pay him permanent wage every month. If anybody knows this young man tell him I say he should reach out to me, in fact, my producer will find a way to reach out to him if he’s willing to work with loud silence media as the entertainment editor, I will give him that full position to write the stories and put on our website loudsilencenews.com and I will pay him, I will not put him on commission, I will pay him as a permanent worker on loud silence media. I want to prove to you these fools in Ghana that you just destroy people’s lives.”
