With all due respect Escapee, you've banging on about how crap VM is for years, despite not having worked for them for 8 years.
Granted in 2001 it wasn't good, the telecoms crash, the acquisition of C&W. It's been tough for everyone in the years since, but now (I believe) the company has passed the bottom of the curve some time ago. The atmosphere within the business is better than I can ever remember.
It's not perfect, far from it, but the company is no where near as bad as it was at the start of the decade.

I was invited along and attended leaving drinks for one of the guys very recently, there was also at least one guy there waiting to find out if he would also be chosen for redundancy. I agree the numbers leaving are far lower these days, but I will not agree that morale is any better than it was when I left in 2001. (I guess it may depend on region)
I would say that morale is now a lot worse, and those who once considered they had a career now just consider they have a job. They are expecting redundancy to be just around the corner.
I do take my hat off to them for persistence, but also wonder why the capable ones have stuck it and keep taking the stress. I couldn't be doing with all the uncertainty and the regular 6 monthly re-orgs.
I guess a job there is a bit like being on death row.
