Apparently the meeting in South Wales was held by managers who didn't seem to know anything. The question was asked about the 54, and they didn't know the answer. Knowing the two main managers who would of conducted the meeting, I would say they wouldn't really give a sh*t about the 54 or 109, they are the type who only think of themselves.
That type are the ones who have survived.
The one good think to come out of it today, was when I was chatting to an ntl guy. He is in Headends so not affected (yet), he was however with one of the network guys. The network guy who I have known for many years (almost 20) sounded quite happy, he is hoping they will accept his offer and pick him to get out of the place.
Oh well, another 109 going and probably more to follow. I wonder how many more redundancies it will take to make the company a viable concern.
