Most of the work being done by us whilst the BT staff watched films on their laptops! Done it on and off since 2006 and fed up with the dreaded visit from the manager when you were being stood down from the contract and being told "we might need you back soon..." The Oxford and Wales patch has all transferred to days but being sent 30 or 40 miles away from home and expected to travel in their own time. The job sucks now. After taking the dollar from BT in early 2000 the exchanges are a disgrace, with quality gone out of the window.
