Communications giant Virgin Media is to to close a call centre over the next 18 months which union leaders said could lead to the loss of 500 jobs.
Don't know if this affects any staff on here as I have no idea what you all do, but I thought I'd mention it even if it doesn't

Bad news, of course, for those it affects. Really wish they'd close the overseas ones and bring all their call centres back into the UK but I don't suppose that's ever going to happen

This is not the first one they've closed either, I don't think; is it?

Re: Virgin Media to close call centre
According to my friend who works there, VM or strictly speaking Virgin Mobile are shutting the place down with the loss of all jobs (about a 1000) as it is not just the call centre side but also the technology side.

It appears that they are outsourcing the jobs to - yes you guessed it - India.

Another typical attempt by a UK company to think they can save money by moving the role to overseas.

Here is another link about the same place http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/04/virgin_cuts/
