Re: [Merged] ntl Redundancies

I got my 90 days notice today!!! Counting down. Ntl's loss. So 'shocked' yes your friends will be getting notice today as well, at least ntl try and tell everyone at the same time. Lots of very talented and skilled people will now be taking those talents elsewhere leaving temps and people with no local/regional knowledge to deal with customers. I think Ntl are taking a big gamble, we will see if it pays off for therm or not!

Redundancy is different than being sacked.

Re: [Merged] ntl Redundancies

i just heard that all of Cov have had their notice, apart from the most useless dept there (customer solutions) guys, if u wana disconnect then do it now! shouldn't say it really but i hate the company......
'GazzaB' ur rite, they are taking a gamble and i honestly hope it doesn't pay off....i sent Simon Duffy an email telling him how much i hate them all and he replied (hence the name 'shocked'?!)
i feel sorry for the customers, the temps in Cov are useless, and they should of just sacked them anyway.....but not the rest of them/us........i miss the place u know....sad ain't it....

Re: [Merged] ntl Redundancies

Looks like my official notice could come at any time then, if the main Harmony redundancies are now being issued.

Re: [Merged] ntl Redundancies

Sympathies to all those being made redundant at this time.There seems to be too much of it at the moment.

My husband has survived and been taken back on at a higher wage scale because they really wanted to keep him.Sounds like they have done some culling of the regular staff who weren't up to the job and gone for higher skilled agency staff.Still not a good position to be in though!

Incog.
