Let me get something straight here. 16 jobs is diddly squat compared with the 1000,s they have dumped on the dole so far in the last 2 years alone.

Some of us have seen this first hand and i can say now there is not that many in VM who would not be concerned about there jobs in the present climate

Considering ntl alone had over 21,000 employees at one stage, Telewest over 15,000, and now Virgin Media in total have less than 13,000 having shed 4,000 since merger you'll forgive if there's no massive cry of outrage over 16 people leaving.

He wasn't, he left voluntarily for more responsibility, money and a job that suited longer term aspirations better :)
