[Merged] ntl Redundancies

scrotnig · 21-07-2004, 14:31

Many of you will know that I am due to be made redundant by ntl in October.

Sadly, despite my attempts at getting redeployed into one of the many new jobs at the Manchester site, I learned recently that the last of these attempts has effectively been unsuccessful.

There is, therefore, no job for me at ntl for the future, so I will be leaving the company by the end of the August. At that time, I'll simultaneously be leaving this site, as I won't have anything to offer and I'd rather make a clean break.

I'm sorry to hear that - but please don't go, Mark.

There's plenty else to talk about and you will still have a lot of experience and knowledge under your belt. If you really can't bear to hang around in ntl-related threads, come and spend time in the basement instead. There's plenty of fun to be had there.

Thanks, but honestly when I leave ntl I want to put the whole thing behind me and move on. That's no reflection on the excellent management of the site, it's just a personal thing.

Don't make me come up there .....

Mark I kinda know how you feel, when I left ntl I went through the same feelings but you might find you feel different abt posting on this site once you leave and get a new job. I know i did

Mark ... You have invaluable knowledge that will not dissapear from your head when you leave, and as we have seen you like helping people.

Methinks you can't just walk away from a needy customer

Think about it ...

Really sorry to hear it Mark B - If you do leave here it'll be a great shame but totally understandable - may I wish you all the very best in finding a new job.

Hi Mark B,

Sorry that you feel this way But don't let the buggers get you down .
Get another job and you will feel much better I did and you will see there is life after NTL (NO TECS LEFT).
I know on how you must be feeling right now but pick yourself up from the floor and go for it............

sorry mate that is a ***** outcome for you

like others have said , there is no reason to leave this site though , having lived through the threat of redundancy i know how you feel , i was one of the lucky / unlucky ones who are going to stay where i work , no help to you though , mind you , you still have some time to look around for something else

Mark,

Your knowledge and experience wont evaporate overnight, you would still be a valued member of this community.

You could choose to not participate in the exclusively NTL related threads.

You could choose to register under a brand new name, and not tell anybody.

I mention the 2 items above to show that there alternatives to simply abandoning a forum you've chosen to post in over 300 times.

I know the pain of redundancy and not getting redeployment. It hurt me like hell after 25 years service. Live goes on though.

Hope you find another job, and hope you choose to remain with the forum.

Mark, I'm sorry to hear you have been let down so badly by NTL and wonder if your involvement with this site is the reason why all your attempts to get redeployed have not succeeded.

whoooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Mark, I will be sorry to see you go. It's a bummer being made redundant. But, I am sure you will bounce back.

In the mean time, like everyone else, I think your experience would be a help in posting..

Wooooaaaaaaaahhhhhh
Don't even go there. You wont be able to prove anything and will only cause yourself grief. Right now focus on what you want to do in life and start looking for opportunities that will lead to that end.

its up to you ofcourse.
