The 'perks' that are being cut back on are huge expense accounts and champagne on tap. This was typical at City firms that previously were making a fortune but have fallen on hard times.
Free TV and phone lines are another matter. Aside from connection, the cost of supplying signals down an already-installed cable is absolutely negligible. Giving these perks to ntl staff costs the company peanuts. Yes they would make a bit more money if all the staff had to pay full price, but how many of them would take the service at all if it was full price?
I'd never pay £150 to stay in a hotel, no matter how loyal I was to my employer.
