While tensions between Dazn and the Professional Football League (LFP) are intensifying around the diffusion rights of Ligue 1, the sports streaming platform has chosen to reduce the wages of part of its employees. This is revealed by the daily Ouest-France. This decision, which arises in a complicated financial context, strengthens the idea of ​​a deeper crisis for Dazn, already weakened by its disagreement with the League. Faced with the uncertainties that hover over the future of the broadcast of the French championship, the company now seems to force its staff to make sacrifices.
A measure decided upstream, but revealing
If this salary reduction seems to resonate with the current impasse between Dazn and LFP, it is not an immediate reaction to this conflict. According to the source cited, this decision dates back several weeks already, long before television rights negotiations occupy the front of the stage. However, the timing of this revelation does not go unnoticed. Several dozen employees have been affected, some seeing their remuneration amputated significantly. Dazn has justified this measure by economic reasons and the need to adapt its costs to an uncertain situation.
Pressure working conditions
Beyond this drop in salary, it is all working conditions at Dazn that challenges. The testimonies of employees describe a difficult environment: increased pressure, high objectives and lack of visibility on the future. “The atmosphere is heavy, you never know what tomorrow will be” will be “says an employee. This salary reduction aggravates an already tense climate, where stability seems more and more compromised.
What future for Dazn?
While the future of the rights of Ligue 1 remains uncertain, Dazn finds himself in a delicate position. Between ambitions of domination on the market for sports and economic imperatives, the company walks on a thread. This internal austerity policy leaves doubts about its ability to last in the long term in an ultra-competitive sector, where each misstep can be fatal.
