Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.

So, Orange cutting costs by shutting down an overnight callcenter to outsource it, and doing everything they can to make sure their employees keep jobs if they want them (Alternate jobs within the company, relocate to manilla) as well as offering them a severance package, and letting them keep all options open....

Seems a bit of a non-story to me really, unless the actual story is 'Orange goes the extra mile to keep profits coming in and staff happy & employed' is the actual story...

Agenda, fit, wouldn't - please rearrange in suitable order....

ps Just a thought but perhaps a pessimist is just a former optimist who fell down one of the cracks in the ground whilst fixated by the stars....

Well it shows that newspaper for what it is - toilet paper that comes ready wiped on - in other words full of excrement.

Pessimist in the label the blindly optimistic give to realists

Apparently Orange have apologised to the 40 staff who were wrongly told that they need to move to Manila to keep their jobs

I'm glad I'm not with Orange - Philippino callcentres are even more annoying than Indian ones. Amongst other things they have fake American accents and apparently in their culture everyone has a stupid nickname like 'baby' and 'princes' which they're allowed to use when talking to customers.

laughing at the capitalist comments.

for what its worth I have brought shares in some companies (ok 2 companies) and returned any dividends I have been offered. I took the risk and my profit if it pays off is share growth, I think dividends are somewhat of a mickey take and wrongful use of turnover. I asked for the money to either be spent on jobs or given to charity instead.
