I really don't care what you say about ntl or specific managers to be honest, you might wanna try hearing both sides of those stories though because no doubt there are very different sides.
This distraction from the main thread over methinks.
EDIT: Part of my irritation is that I meet broadcast people on a daily basis and they're a good bunch, I don't see what any beefs you have with home managers are to do with them to be honest  nor do I see this as Steve Carter sticking the knife in, he's had plenty of chance to do that already, and however moronic I consider OfCom to be, they aren't stupid enough to risk legal action on themselves. |
Just for the record, I do appreciate what it's like for people to loose their jobs through lost contracts, I can speak through experience.
I worked for a company that supplied $10M worth of equipment and had an agreed $1M a year maintenance contract, the company who placed the order took delivery of all the equipment and had it all installed by the coompany I was working for. they then tried every trick in the book to avoid paying, and tried to go back on the maintenance agreement that was agreed by both parties.
The company involved in this underhanded practice eventually managed to get away without paying for over $40M worth of orders signed by this one director alone, they went into chapter 11.
They also placed some large orders with another company promising to pay out of the next years budget shortly before this happened.
The director in question left the company earlier this year under a cloud of suspicion and investigation, I understand he is now a CEO of a company in the caribbean (Bermuda)
Yes, the company who conducted this and many similar rip offs that put people out of work was your very own
ntl
I do speak from some experience on this matter, I was the cynical one who said from early on that ntl would never pay for the equipment or honour the maintenance contract. In fact all the ex-ntl employees involved in the fiasco thought the same.
