Re: 90 Day Notice for Network Engineers

Moral is rock bottom right now, we have ended up with more questions than answers from the presentation and we are fearing what the knock on effect will be to the Network.

I was banging on the other week about return path issues with people using sub standard splits and cable, now it's going to get a whole lot harder to keep on top of those kind of things.

But there are some of us that are either stupid or stubborn (me) that want's to keep working for NTL, I want to try to keep making that little bit of a difference, but I will have to wait and see what the cull will be and what my area will be reduced too...
I heard that from one of the guys in Cardiff today, he said it sounded like any number between 1 and 5 but they didn't know. That sounds like they really know what they are doing!

I spoke to another guy today in a national department, he was on 90 days earlier this month and then taken off risk. He was then put on 90 days yet again last week, it makes you wonder if the left hand really knows what the right hand is doing.

Although he did say something that was good, there is now only one head of department who is ex-ntl and he's my old boss. All the rest are Telewest guys, a lot of the ntl ones are on their bike.

I know there are one or two sad losses amongst them, but generally some of them have been around for too long. I was surprised at some of the names he said were still about after all the redundancies losing good people, although it does seem like a lot of the hangers on are now hanging on for dear life.
