It wouldn't have been of much use - I believe the people being made redundant are ntl: Business CS reps, as opposed to ntl: home.

OK...here is my two penneth worth.

First off, excuse my spelling as ive been up the club.... :)
As you know from my previous posts in this thread, my wife is to be made redundant from the NTL call center in cardiff. I myself have never worked for them.

However, NTL HAVE to be the worst run company in the history of any corporation. The management is **** poor, but the
normal "lamen" on the ground has to put up with the shit. The is understand completely. There is nothing worse than losing yer CM connection and then being told even though they know there is a problem with a local UBR, they cant send anyone out untill at least 4 people have called in to report the fault

On the flip side of the coin, to work for they have to be the best company out there. The promotions and benefits that are available are tremendous. The redundancy package, although isnt mega bucks, is in her case 4 X the statutory minimum.
So it looks like as per many of the EX NTL employees, its off to 118 118 call center in cardiff.

Shit happens.

:)

I for one have sympathy for those poor devils, who ever they are. There is nothing worse, as I found out a few years ago now. When I went in on the monday morning to work, and the whole world knew before I did, that the shop I worked for was closing! end of story, collect cards, find a new job if you can! Bye.!
So yes I can say I have a lot of sympathy with them. :(

Sounds a bit like me.

I was told to go but every one knew about it before I even knew that there was a meeting schedualed :(

Still not got a proper job and that was 6 weeks ago :(

Richard M 04-07-2003 20:13

You know what would have been really cool?
You should have PM'd one of us with that "newsflash" and we could have put it up on the front page as news. :)

peterska2 04-07-2003 20:17

Well you still could I suppose ;)

Just felt more like a discussion about it last night :)

Richard M 04-07-2003 20:19

Sounds like an idea for a modification of the Contact Us form...hmm...

All those NTL employees who've been made redundant have my sympathy.

I know how much it sucks being made redundant, & how worrying it can be.

Pathetic

If you don't like Roger's comment, tell him about it via PM.

People are always going to make a insensitive comment that's life.

Stuart R 05-07-2003 11:04

Im sure they will... I have accepted that.

peterska2 05-07-2003 14:01

Stuart,

Roger's comment was made in response to some other comments that have been rightfully deleted.

The point that he was making is that rather than me picking a fight the other night I should have PM'd the news to one of the mods and they would have put it on the home page.

The comment was not meant to be insensitive and was not Roger having a pop at anyone either.

[note to mods/admin] see I do stick up for you really:)
