Bijna 7 keer zoveel mensen in dienst als PowNed, en maar klagen over bezuinigingen: de 100-jarige VPRO is vooral chagrijn en vergane glorie

Reports indicate that the VPRO employs nearly seven times as many people as PowNed, another Dutch broadcaster. Despite its size, the VPRO is characterized by some as being "chagrijn" (grumpy) and representing "vergane glorie" (faded glory), suggesting a perception of decline or dissatisfaction within the organization.
This criticism arises in the context of the VPRO's alleged complaints about budget cuts, which are viewed by some as incongruous given its substantial staffing levels compared to smaller entities within the public broadcasting system.
