To all you ntl'ers affected by this - The guys in IT and Site Services didn't get a bad deal when they went over to IBM and Profectus (respectively). Hope it all goes well for you  |
It may of been given to some as a perk, but was part of the contract for people working for some companies that ntl took over!
This is always the big problem with takeovers, the same happened with the perk on free copmpany car fuel. I had it written in my original contract along with some other senior people in the company that I worked for which got taken over by ntl. What happened is they took it out of my contract because they said it was a free perk to all employees with a car anyway.
I made my concerns pointing out that in time they would do away with it and I would be worse off, as usuall with ntl's actions I was not far wrong as the perk was done away with shortly after I left ntl.
I am just giving it as a warning to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position.
