Re: Virgin Media Closing Albert Dock

I can't comment on the working hours in Swansea compared to Albert Dock, as I haven't received a response to my questions regarding the working pattern of the latter.
The are actually no jobs on offer for staff at the Albert Dock, you would have to apply for them and in most cases it will be for less money and far worse hours than we do at present.

No one is being offered a job in Swansea so most of any prior posts about work being offered to people in the Albert Dock are pretty pointless as it is not true.

So unless you were free and single and did not mind the prospect of moving possibly up to 250 miles away from home for less money and quite dissimilar hours and the upheaval involved in relocating to an area of the country that you do not know, with the likelihood of it being move fated to fail why would you bother to even contemplate such a move in the first place.

I doubt anyone with a family or a mortgage would consider such a move.

We are getting help with our CV's and interviews about the possibility of getting jobs nearer to home which in reality is what we really want.

So I and every other person affected by this closure would appreciate no more posts about relocating to Swansea as it is in reality just smoke and mirrors, and the sooner we have closure with regards an actual date to leave the better as far as I am concerned as I for one do not want to be switching the lights off.
