Re: A few thruths about Virgin media engineers (Kelly Communication ones!)
hi there.
havent posted in a while but i worked for kellys in bournemouth for 5 years and i hated every minute of it. dont get me wrong i have a lot of pride in my work and always did everything as best as i could, and tried my hardest to leave the customer happy.
the working conditions were terrible, sometimes working from 7am right through till 8-9pm 6 days a week!! a consequence of this was me missing the first 2 years of my daughters life (which i will never get back) to which none of the managment could give a rats ass about!!! not the attitude really!!!
no holiday pay, no sick pay, wages always wrong despite taking phtotcopies of my wage sheets. even when asking for the corrections, they never materialised!!
the composite business company was cable business solutions and they took massive slices of our wages fortnightly.
after being there for 5 years all the installers had had enough and left. i was left there with 2 other guys doing the installs for the whole district untill they started pulling installers in from other sites (portsmouth and southampton).
needless to say, i got another job with fibrecity bournemouth (100mb fibre optic broadband, tv and telephone installation). i now work mon to fri 9-5.30 and have sat and sun off. i get 24 days holiday, sick pay and am on 24,000 a year.
very unstressed now too
stay clear of kellys!!
rant over lol
