From what i have heard there are 6 Managers and 6 Senior "team leaders" Installs techs fighting for 6 jobs in the North West. I have only had chance to talk to Engineers for up in the North West. If this affects other regions i don't know. They have all been placed on 30 days notice as of today.

NTL hang your head in shame

I know some of the lads in the North West who are impacted by this. To say they are devastated is an understatement. I wish them luck

Aye right

I am sure all NTL staff have a very low opinion of the NTL managment at the top. same as the customers we are all only another million in their bank account,

Its a bad day for Staff and customers the only people laughing all the way to the bank my end up having their smiles wiped of their faces if they end up being charged more to use contractors than if NTL had their own staff.

Do you have to "apply" for you job again, I know the lads in the NW have been having interviews today.

Best of luck to all the lads going thru it on installs

thanks guys....

Due to ths position i'm in at the moment I could either move to a different area or accept redundancy. I can't give too much info away at this time as i am still restricted by the company disclosure policy however I'm thinking more along the lines of a clean break at the moment.

The other thing is that the guys that choses who to make redundant is often the one least needed but most likely to avoid redundancy.

O how very very true!

Or in our case, a manager who isn't based anywhere near, you see once a month and who has only been in charge for 3 months!!

Their own areas or old region always seem to get off lighly if they have been been given responsibility of other areas or promoted to a corporate position!

Lets face it, things will never change in ntl in that respect.
