Does he hell,

He's a VM fantasist.

He's probably unemployed in his early 20's, sitting in front of his computer in his boxer shorts surrounded by pizza box's and cheap beer.

Partly correct. I had a well earned break over the weekend, which was spent eating Dominos pizza, drinking Piesporter whilst enjoying some television.

I'll happily settle for you believing that i'm in my early 20's :D

I'd like you to contact <Deleted - Do not invade someone's privacy by naming them when their role is not a public facing representative of the company>, at your earliest convenience. <deleted> is keen to talk to you about some of your ideas :-)

As for the other poster on here all he is interested in his the return on on so called portfolio and as long as it gives a return he does not care what happens to the people working for the company, that type of person makes me sick because they are just in it for the money.

The company with regards to technical support is in a flat spin as they cannot replace the 2nd line skills lost after the closure as all 2nd line support was at the Albert Dock and writing a manual does not replace skill.

At least everyone that mattered found positions elsewhere locally and with regards to 2nd line most found better paid positions with more scope to go forward.

Some did go to Swansea but not everyone has stayed when they realised that the pavements were not paved with gold but Virgin Media crap.

It is what a hard nosed tory would expect us to do and are quite shocked to find not still happening.

As previously explained, I am not directly employed by VM and have never claimed otherwise.

I too have shares-in many companies. I never give a second thought to the people employed in these companies.

Unless I hold a directorship in a particular company, they are not my concern or interest. It is merely a financial investment purely designed to make me money.

You claim that VM are now in a 'flat spin'.

You have also stated that you didn't get a pay rise for years at Albert Dock, that everybody found alternative employment, that some found better positions locally with even better prospects. This was on top of any tax free redundancy payments.

So, in essence, you feel that the closure of Albert Dock was a bad thing for VM and a good thing for staff.

So, what's the problem?

Can you please update us as to the current position regarding the legal action that the CWU took against VM? I haven't heard anything since you brought it to our attention.

Virgin Media anti-union move hits BECTU members
26 November 2012

Roughly 30 members of BECTU working for Virgin Media have been caught up in union de-recognition bid.

those mere 30 bectu members work in broadcasting and its nearly xmas ,and bectu are a lot more militant than the cwu ,make sure the freeview is tuned in:shocked:

If my TV goes off due to industrial action I will simply use another TV supplier, as i'm sure many other people will do. That will mean even more redundancies.

No wonder unions are dying out with members with your attitude

Exactly.

No wonder you are now a driver with your attitude either, do not forget the lariet.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a driver for a living, if indeed that is the case. What on earth happened to working class solidarity?

You need to get help with that attitude you have

Indeed.

.

The lady you name. i do not name VM employees out of respect, is not a Manager, she is a 'champion' - whatever that is. She has no direct reports and, respectfully, is fairly low ranking.

Why you would you would bring her into the discussion is bewildering.

Rather than pondering in public, why don't you just contact her :)

I've seen enough of the bickering. You were all warned to discuss the topic and not the personality of the posters.

Closed.
