I hope you get sorted with something soon Andy, I know from our discussions in the past that you have been very much aware of ntl's treatment to employees.
I understand that treatment is getting worse in the company and long term employees who are coming closer to retirement age are just thinking of going early because they have had enough, in some cases it's not financially ideal but they just cant stand anymore of the treatment they are getting.
The guys in the field have been feeling the pinch in some regions for a while now, and they actually found reasons to sack a few in the region that I used to work for. When you add this to the rumour that regions are now responsible for redundancy payments coming from their own local budgets instead of centrally, it makes you think about whats going on!
Some people used to think they were treating people badly so they would leave without waiting for the redundancy payment, it worked in my case but many who thought it was a cynical view to think the company were doing that have now changed their view and realised the poor treatment must be for a reason.
I know exactly what you mean about people showing a bit of interest and wanting to further their career and do a good job in the process, it does not get noticed by the senior managers and your immediate managers will often see you as a threat for your initiative. A person showing the qualities that Andy E has mentioned will allways be overlooked for promotion by the people who are bowing down to their manager, agreeing with every silly idea that they make, whilst sla**ing them off in the pub when they are not around.
ntl like all big corporations are unfortunately full of shallow, useless, unskilled people who feed off the good ones to further their career. We can only take heart in knowing that we are right and it's not doing them or the company any good in the long run, it's a pity that the customers will suffer first though.
Andy, You will find that there is life after ntl and you will probably only realise just how bad things are/were in ntl if you find a company that appreciates your skills and commitment.
All the best for the future.
