I am of the opinion that pretty much all 'big' companies these days are short termists, looking at how much money tyhey can save by dropping standards and pretending they haven't.

been quiet for a week has it? Right, sack some staff. What if it gets busier again next week? That's next week, not interested.

That seems to be how it all works. The network/infrastructure/buildings are all fine now, so lets save some money and fire the people that maintain them. What happens if they need repairing in the future? Oh, that's the future, never mind about that, I want to make some money NOW!

All big companies are the same in the UK, which is why virtually everything we make or sell is a load of crap. The attitude is always 'do it as badly as you can get away with', not 'do it as well as you can'.
