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.
Still have a similar situation, the headends recently made a supervisory, which that person from what i can see basically runs the team of headend Tech's. Now what does the manager actually do? Same as in access networks, Principal Engineer does most of managers admin work, Engineers sort themselves out with work, manager is where doing what?
