The 54 are not part of the 109 :-( 54 are going Business from the Telewest side, then 20 percent from all sides to go which equals 109 engineers. But, most of the Telewest boys are not Dual trained (CATV & Telco), they also have "Core Network Techs", which to ex-Nynex are Activation. so I suspect Telewest bods will take the major hit  |
From what i have been told today it works out as this.
approx 500 Network engineers for the whole country
-54 going to Business.
-109 redundant
= 337 Engineers to cover the whole country.
Doing the following
network upgrades
network maintenance
preventive maintenance "been told this NEVER happens now"
day to day faults.
on call cover.
So these poor sods will be worked into the ground daily.
No wonder moral is lower than a snakes belly in a wagon rut.
