Yes, most companies follow a similar line in BS. The directors and management talk it so much that they actually believe it now.

Welcome to the era where a new corporate logo, or a "mission statement" is way more important than actually getting the job done, and supporting your customers and staff.

Aaarrrrgggghhh!!!! :grind:

Good news yesterday then. ntl now have (or will shortly) 150 Indian call centre bods doing outgoing broadband sales calls to consumers in the UK. Seems rather unfair to me, seeing as ntl are making 2000 redundancies over the next couple of years.
NTL cutting jobs again and the UK to save money.. to save even more money NTL should have considered moving their call centres to Iraq apart from the high fatalities the cost of wages paid out (a few goats, chickens) would be alot cheaper than paying someone in India.

What a PR stunt if NTL decided to cable up Iraq

I bet it would be more reliable than the setup here. Afterall, could it be worse?

As with most things British....

Our telecommunications Network used to be the best in the world....now its falling apart at the seams. Soon when the rest of the world is running 10Mb + Cable networks, we will be surfing at hideously slow speeds on our cheap as chips cable network, and archaic GPO network probably only ever capable of 8mb* max** (theoretically) (*subject to availability, must be 5km from a BT exchange) (**must live in an area with more than 250 inhabitants)

ok here is my view of things

To say there is plenty of jobs out there is a false statement, there are black hole employment area's in part of the country, eg. where I live (leicester) unemployment is double of derby and nottingham and it is also rising, there are call centre jobs but they are been very fussy (min 6 month experience).

Alot of call centres in the uk were setup in high unemployment areas where past industries failed and were subidised by the government to help create jobs, this is another thing people seem to forget but of course now these same area's are going to suffer because of the companies greed.

In the short term there will be increased profits, in the long term I see a recession as there is too many companies doing the same thing, you cannot maintain turnover if the number of people working is diminishing its a fact. There should be some sort of tax on exporting jobs out to other countries.

Unfortanetly everything about the uk is short term gains now, government only sees ahead to next election, companies look for short term profits, its the result of a fragile market.

Obviously the poster has been reading your previous contributions.

I guess if they continue to contribute such inspiring thoughts then they will be up there with Towny, Neil or indeed me! :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:
