Redundancies at Pipex
It was confirmed to staff tonight that Tiscali, the new owners of Pipex, are making over 1000 people redundant. 620 of these will be at the Manchester office which is to close.
Most of the jobs will be outsourced to India.
According to my source, staff were expecting something like this for a few months.

Re: Redundancies at Pipex
It will lead to that situation papa smurf there isnt a unlimited pool of jobs for the people been laid of to go into but thats a different subject Obviously as far as tiscali is concerned the support will go downhill but I think as you said its just profits first.

Re: Redundancies at Pipex
Takeing what little money people earn and trying to force them onto the streets with nothing. It's seem the in thing to do especially with christmas just around the corner. I hope Gordon Brown and his bum chums are very happy with how this country is turning out to be

Re: Redundancies at Pipex
It just goes to prove that there is very little profit in ADSL when you factor in all the costs, so these redundancies are very unfortunate for those concerned, and not at all a surpirse to those in this industry.
