You just have to play them at their own game, get as much as you can while it lasts. Not an ideal basis for a rewarding career but it's the way a lot of business is these days.
I know that one of the laughable re-orgs focused on the Supervisors for network and service technicians. The company decided that there were too many Supervisors, and to resolve the situation they created more mangers posts for them to move into.

How can anyone say a company with that amount of stupidity can ever pull themselves out of the smelly stuff.

Since I left ntl there have been thousands of redundancies, If I listed the 10 most useless employees (In my opinion) probably half are still employed at VM. Like most large companies when it comes to who is going to get promoted or redundant it's all about politics and sucking up to those bosses who are flavour of the month.

We used to notice those kissing the bosses backsides when there was a re-org and promotion on offer.
