I think the merger will be worse than the cwc/ntl one, the managers with expert skills in survival are the ones remaining.
I reckon the underhanded tactics will be worse this time around, you probably remember seeing and hearing the promises about tiers of management. We just sat back and watched our region create another couple of tiers of managers, place some engineers miles away under another manager so he could keep his job, and to create and give technical management jobs to some shiny ar**ed office woman as a favour for services rendered. I was also told by a boastful manager from cwc about a department highly populated by contractors, he had kept them on for about 12 months without work so he could get rid of them in the cut backs to save his empire.
Lets just hope that Telewest come out on top in the engineering battle, and some of the old ntl hangers on are shown the door this time. I doubt it though, skills had very little to do with it last time.
