Let me get something straight here. 16 jobs is diddly squat compared with the 1000,s they have dumped on the dole so far in the last 2 years alone.
Some of us have seen this first hand and i can say now there is not that many in VM who would not be concerned about there jobs in the present climate

Re: More cuts at Virgin Media.
Considering ntl alone had over 21,000 employees at one stage, Telewest over 15,000, and now Virgin Media in total have less than 13,000 having shed 4,000 since merger you'll forgive if there's no massive cry of outrage over 16 people leaving.

Re: More cuts at Virgin Media.
He wasn't, he left voluntarily for more responsibility, money and a job that suited longer term aspirations better

Re: More cuts at Virgin Media.
IMHO I don't give a fig about anybody whose being made redundant, including the 90 people who are being made redundant along with me.
It anit gonna make get a job easier and means more competion, I wnet to an agency on Friday they only had 2 full time jobs on there books, neither I could fill.
It's look after no 1 time
