A lot of them stayed on with Cable & Wireless when the Consumer Co division was sold to Ntl. (except the bad ones who went with it!).
Management styles today are all about quantity not quality, it's all part of the dumbing down of Britain.  |
CWC was far better run than this ntl shambles! For a start there was proper budgetary control, something ntl STILL can't do. There wasn't any "Knee Jerk" management, which is rife in ntl.
All in all the existing management is crap, and this results in the staff being treated like crap!
The upper levels of management should hang their collective heads in shame, and, if I was a major shareholder I would be asking for them to go. They have taken a perfectly running, profit making CW comms and Fukin screwed it up
As regards to empire building, that has, and always will go on, not just in ntl but in most companies. And if the guy doing it is a decent manager there isn't a problem, but, within ntl they are few and far between.
In Nynex you had Portsmouth/Solent. They think and still do that everything they do is better, and Sussex, Ashford and Surrey are inferior (lol, we have seen your noise floors/flap lists!!). Itââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s gone on within all the cable companies because the management are relatively new/naÃÃâ€*’¯ve. This is why CWC where different, they had an established structure.
As for the future, god help us
