I spent four years with ntl and went through redundancy twice. Eventually I just had enough and left of my own accord.

During the redeployment period, I remember applying for loads of internal jobs only to be told I 'lacked the skills required', but then to watch the job get given to a sixteen year old school leaver. This despite the fact the jobs I applied for were broadly similar to my own, though usually at a lower level!

The company does not want experienced, time served staff - they are a pain and costly to employ and manage. They want cheap inexperienced labour.
