Diili competitors were outraged by Jaajo Linnonmaa’s salary proposal: “I would have needed twice as much” – 2024-03-07 19:24:00

Running Deal– period, entrepreneur Jaajo Linnonmaa is looking for a manager for Helsinki Kulttuuritehdas Korjaamo.

Among the 16 competitors, Linnonmaa and his advisor Toni Lähde and Amel Gaily with the help of various tasks, they try to find out who would be the right person to be Linnonmaa’s co-worker and Korjaamo’s leader.

Niklas Nukarin Overpass to Diil -podcast, the contestants have digested the events of the season. Christopher Hokkanen said in an episode published in February that he was unhappy when he heard the planned salary for the manager.

Hokkanen opens up his thoughts more to Iltalehti. He says that he understood what position he was applying for, but the job description remained unclear.

– The door was really left open, i.e. it was not told which manager is in question. Are you the biggest manager in the whole house, are you a marketing director or a branding director. We weren’t told that. I didn’t really get to the bottom of it, but I didn’t ask any more about it either, Hokkanen describes.

“With a salary of five tons”

Hokkasen has 20 years of experience in the cultural sector and several educations in the field. He thinks that the salary of a washerman from Diil should have been correlated to experience and education.

Hokkanen says that he currently earns more than the salary offered to the head of the repair shop. Hokkanen lives in Tampere, where salaries are lower than in Helsinki, where Korjaamo is located.

– I work as a freelancer and as an entrepreneur, so it’s a bit difficult to compare this, but yes, I currently earn more than what that salary would have been, he says.

Competitors cannot disclose the Repair Shop manager’s salary to the public due to a non-disclosure agreement.

Laura Bishop however told Overpass to Diil – in the episode of the podcast, references to the size of the salary.

– But first of all, to go to Helsinki with a salary of five tons, really? So who would want to go there with such a lick? After all, it is quite small, Biskop stated in the episode.

In the podcast, the contestants have also considered whether the manager can be chosen based on the tasks seen in Diili.

– Can the salary of the manager of such a big house be defined by who sells the most risk? That point has nothing to do with leadership skills, Hokkanen tells Iltalehte.

– Does the director of a large cultural house make social media or brand videos? No, it’s someone else. These tasks made me very nervous and the cloud castles started to crack when I realized that most of it is entertainment, and not the job search, he continues.

Twice as much

Also Laura Bishop it was unclear what kind of pesti the winner is known for.

– The job was presented to us in such a way that the job is done according to what kind of person wins the competition, Biskop describes to Iltalehte.

– It was a very open job advertisement. It is not specified which job it is. It was very vague, he continues.

Biskop states that he was interested in the job when he applied for the program, but during filming, his interest decreased.

– I did want to win. However, while making the program, that interest waned because we didn’t know what we were applying for.

Biskop was also confused about the salary, and its smallness.

– It’s about time… I’ve worked a lot during my life and reached such a life situation that I have quite a reasonable income. I would have needed twice as much as what would have been paid for the position of manager, says Biskop.

Biskop justifies his opinion with responsibility.

– The manager always has responsibility and that means that the days are not eight hours long. Then you have to get reasonable compensation. When you also think about Southern Finland’s expenses in housing, for example, they are really much higher than, for example, I have here in Pietarsaari, Biskop reasons.

– It is a big responsibility and I think the compensation for the lost free time would have been too small.

Unclear wash

Sandra Rinta-Panttila I think the head of the repair shop should be quite grandiose. When he applied to the program, he had thought that it would be, for example, the position of CEO or someone else who would be responsible for the whole at least on an operational level.

– However, in the first assignment, it already became clear that the laundry will be modified according to the skills of the winner. That is, if there is a marketing expert, it would probably be a marketing director, and if there is a sales background, it would be suitable for that. So the title was known, but only later did I realize that I didn’t know what I was looking for, Rinta-Panttila describes to Iltalehte.

Since the manager’s job description remained unclear, Rinta-Panttila is not sure what she thinks about the salary.

– Pesti’s demanding level was not really revealed, although you can imagine that it is a rather demanding position when the job interview lasts six weeks. I think the salary would have been what marketing directors make on average.

– However, it would have been far too small a salary for the CEO. So at least it wasn’t the kind of thing that I would have applied there because of the salary.

Rinta-Panttila had understood that the salary could have been negotiated after the victory.

– There is also a trial period in Pest, so I don’t know what will happen after that. Everything is so grandiose when you don’t know what the position and duties would be or what the salary would be compared to.

Rinta-Panttila admits that she was not particularly interested in winning the program.

– I was more about challenging myself, gaining new experiences and seeing what the grits are enough for.

Jussi Haavisto also says that during his life he earned higher wages than what would have been paid for the job of a repair shop manager.

– In my opinion, the salary was not competitive, Haavisto tells Iltalehte.

Haavisto is not saddened by the fact that he was eliminated from the competition, and thus did not get to do the same for himself.

– It wasn’t necessarily my place or for me. That pesti values ​​traits in a leader that I don’t value myself.

Jaajo commented

Iltalehti reached out Deal the driver Jaajo Linnonmaa message to comment on the matter.

He emphasizes that Deal is not “usual recruitment”, but an entertainment program with a job as the main prize.

– When starting the program, it was not known what kind of background and work experience people would be able to compete for the job, and thus also did not want to lock in the exact role. There were successful people in the fields of sales, marketing and the restaurant industry, Linnonmaa describes.

According to Linnonmaa, the winning pot of the program is defined together with the channel. In the deal, the winning pot is paid to the winner as a salary.

– In any case, the winner has the opportunity to negotiate the employment contract himself, as in recruitment processes in general, Linnonmaa opens.

This is why, according to Linnonmaa, a starting salary of 5,000 euros is good.

– Within the framework of the trial period, it is intended to conduct a review on both sides of how the task and its requirements fit the winner of the competition, and during that period to negotiate the extension of the employment contract with its conditions.

– And all the contestants also knew these same things when they entered the program, Linnonmaa concludes.
