If your in a union I hope they fight and get a good deal for you.

ntls redundancy for those that joined before 2002 is very good. I don't think a union could get a better deal if they tried!

What can I say Bill, I'm gutted

After all you've done for everyone here, both in outright help/advise/behind the scenes, you are going to be sorely missed, but hopefully, if you feel so inclined, you can keep us up to date on how you're doing in life

So after 13 years it goodbye to NTL.

The funny thing is i am not upset 1 little bit

Redundancy isnt normally the nicest of news..... But it sounds as if you'll get a nice package. Any ideas on whats next?? Maybe a long needed holiday etc???

Good luck, and speak soon!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do next, Bill.

Blimey Bill, I'm

I hope it all turns out good for you.

Thanks for all your help

jtwn · 01-12-2005, 12:42

Yeah thanks for your input in the past Bill. Good luck for the future.

Good luck Bill mate chat in a bit on ts

Sorry Bill, but I think you should ask them to reconsider. I mean, can they afford to be losing experienced engineers in the North West given connection and email issues recently. I think you should refuse to go

Here's hoping you walk straight into another job and can blow your redundancy package!

01-12-2005, 13:38

Thanks to every one for the nice remarks.

Yes its NTL's loss and i am over the moon with the package they have offered me.

I have my fingers in a few pies so watch this space

and i will continue to post on here as i will be a customer of NTL. Even without my employee package.

They have not treated me badly and i wish those that remain a happy time with them.

I feel that making redundancys at christmas is out of order, it can ruin any christmas, (I alone spent around £1000 on christmas last year, food, drink, and pressies)

I was luck in that I was made redundant in the summer a week before my hols

With the redundnacy package that ntl people like Bill are receiving, I have no doubt it'll be one of the best Christmas' ever!

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

**Maggy** · 01-12-2005, 13:49

Well I'm happy for you Bill as that's what you want.

Your help on this forum has been very well received and has helped quite a few..it's our loss and NTL's as well.

Thing is, they don't look at employees as assets, just costs.... I costs more than the guys that work for me, so they want to cut that costs. Suits me!

Angua · 01-12-2005, 13:51

Good luck to you both!

NTL are idiots, probably why they chose you for redundancy as intellectually they can't take the competition.

A blow for the customers though.

Blimey, I've never seen people so happy at being made redundant... Congratulations I suppose...
