Why should I care one iota about people taking over my job be it in another part of the country or another continent I cannot wish them well and if you think that is wrong then the is something wrong with you.

Why would they have my respect they closed my place of work and moved the positions elsewhere in a underhand and disreputable manner, no employer that behaves in such a way can demand respect.

Somehow I rather doubt it considering we are talking about 400+ people, the majority have jobs but will never feel any respect towards Virgin Media after the way we were treated

Don't allow yourself to believe that it's done you any favours...

I really think you should seek urgent medical attention as you seem to have serious issues with regards facts, reality and extremes of fantasy as they all seem to merge into one in your posts.

The closure of the Albert Dock meant that people who were very good at their job were to all intents and purposes dumped on the scrapheap with a few moving to Swansea which may work in the short term if you have no ties up here, but the offer to move down their was never a realistic option for the majority.
Luckily the majority found work quite quickly and easily due to their skills which is something budding employers look for in new staff, a few have set themselves up in business and appear to being thriving in their new positions.
One or two took a lot longer to find a position that appealed to them which was their prerogative.
Some moved to other positions up in the Northwest staying within Virgin Media, so apart from those few people the vast majority feel nothing but anger towards Virgin Media because of the way they went about the closure especially its announcement in the Liverpool Echo prior to the Albert Dock staff being told which was shockingly unproffesional to say the least.
As for myself I will always work in the way expected of me by any employer because that is the way I am unless they do as Virgin Media did to the former employees from the Albert Dock.
If the CWU win and we are awarded compensation I will be happy but as happy as I would have been if my job had stayed at the Albert Dock because I would have still been working there to this day, you may wonder why I say this and my answer is that I was good at my job and I enjoyed it which is something not many people can ever truly say about their jobs.
