A certain number of job losses are inevitable in any acquisition, but these are usually confined to head office functions that no longer need to be duplicated in both the acquiring and the acquired companies. That's not news.

What would be news would be if Liberty announced it had a radically different idea about how the VM business should be run and went about sacking service delivery staff in pursuit of that. But there seems to be no suggestion of that happening for the foreseeable future.
