I would happily work for them if the Job & Pay were right.

Yeh right as if the company itself caused the mental breakdown.

I myself can blame NTL for many things but causing a mental breakdown hmm dream on there must have been other contributing factors.

A big assumption there. Just because you don't believe a company can cause a mental breakdown, I've seen it happen to a close friend of mine, so don't be so quick to dismiss anything.

Just interested to see how many people on this forum actually work for NTL. Don't worry - i ain't no NTL spy or mole!

Personally, i think it's pretty cool that we have some NTL people here that we can turn to for advice/assistance if needed. So to all you NTL peeps: Thank you for your help!

(And to all those that don't work for NTL but help out anyway - thank you too!)

Re: Do you work for NTL?

Like someone before I worked for them as an installation contractor. The company seemed a little more professional in their approach than Telewest. I would say that most of the people I had to contact seemed to have a work load that was too high, this is were large companies tend to fall down as in this type of environment people make mistakes which sometimes go unnoticed...unless your a customer on the end of it...

Actually it was the company that caused it, he was a departmental manager but his workload was huge. No need for the insults thank you

I worked as a contractor for Kellys on behalf of NTL. Both muppets and a 3 year old could organise a company better than them!

So have I. Stress can cause breakdowns. A bad manager (or multiple bad managers) can cause an *awful* lot of stress.

As for whether NTL is a good company to work for, I have heard both sides of the story (more bad than good), but in my experience, most large companies aren't intrinisically either good or bad to work for. Whether they are good or bad depends on the line management.
