Re: Redundant

I'm amazed that ntl could get rid of two such helpful emloyees! Still, you both seem happy, hope you both find something nice to do next, and keep on posting on the forum!

Re: Redundant

Well, to those who are currently sitting happy in the knowledge that their time with NTL is coming to an end all I can say is good luck for the future and I hope you find work within a company that will actually recognise your efforts and appreciate you.

this is something I find hard to take - in my opinion it is jobs that are redundant, not people, if the job still exists I don't think any company should be able to make the incumbent redundant, to make way for a 'cheaper' option.

Sadly I know how naiive that view is

Re: Redundant

Just to let you know.

I will not be leaving this forum as i will still be a NTL customer.

I will still try to help people even if i dont have the access i used to have at NTL.

You never know i might need this forum if i have a problem with my NTL services .

So to confirm you dont get rid of me that easily
