Seeing as you also previously worked for Virgin Media like me, you probably understand what I mean about the majority of the call centres being temporary staff and easily let go and consolidated. I know there were consolidations, redundancy and temporary contracts axed in Cable Plaza. Around about the 300 figure. Customer services, sales and business were axed and SOC were sent to Birmingham, but the majority refused to move and were let go.
Then there's the Albert dock etc as well.
Temp positions really should be reported in the media, even if they don't "technically" work for Virgin Media.
