Good luck Bill have a good holiday and perhaps a few conventions before you bother to find another job.

Many thanks for all the help you have given me over the years and I do realise just what NTL have lost by letting you go.

When ever you are passing you are still welcome to call for a coffee. Keep intouch Bill around here you made NTL, lets hope they can live without you.

I know that, but people often have somewhat mixed emotions. If however, you already have another job lined up...

I don't. And I couldn't care less

Good luck to both of you - hope you find a job where the company will give a damn because you deserve it.

I've been keeping my news on the employee forum, but I too have been made redundant.

I can tell you now, I'm as happy as Bill is too!!!

And yes, it will be a good Xmas

does this mean we can slag off NTL now without risking OB putting us straight! seriously though, good luck.

I put people straight about ntl when they're unreasonale or wrong. And I always will.

Er, is there anybody still working for NTL?

01-12-2005, 15:04

wow, gobsmacked doesn't describe this, I know it is a small sample of NTL staff that we see on here, but they always willing to help & offer advice, because of focus on the customer. Some good ones have already been 'let go'.

In Bill C's & OB's case how on earth can they consider losing such experience with the Telewest merger imminent.

Never mind, I'm glad that you both feel this is best for you, personally, sincere good wishes for the future, I just can't believe the shortsightedness of 'beancounters'

In the UK its shrinking fast and all the best are going soon they will be flying engineers in from offshore countires to fix the modem and flying them back when they have finished

Good Luck OB have a good Xmas.

Actually, I'm still quite surprised at the low amount of people being made redundant company wide. As both Bill and I are on 30 days consultation, this means that no more than 99 people are being made redundant company wide. Which at this time of year surprises me.

But they are losing quality staff and whats left. India and a few in the UK when are they moving the Head Office to India then and the CEO job save more money outsourcing him.
