I have spoken to three ex-collegues who work for ntl this week, all apart from one were on the lookout for a job.

Apparently there is yet another restructure in their department, and some of the senior managers were having interviews after applying for their own jobs today. Apparently they will find out before the end of the week who doesn't have a job when the music stops.

I was very surprised to find that one of the Telewest senior guys seems to be taking control, its a good thing in Engineering/networks as he is very experienced. I had the fortune of working with him very closely many years ago in the cable industry (I used to sit next to him) before CableTel, United Artists etc existed. He is a professional guy and a real engineer. He should be able to sort out the wheat from the chaf when it comes to some of the engineers, unlike many before him. I was pleased to hear he already has some cards marked for some who he has dealt with in the past at Telewest and have survived at the expense of many good engineers in ntl.

Lets hope he makes some improvements.
