I really hate this current economic climate , is there ever going to be good news , coming in the same week as the BAE job cuts. I hope nobody on here will be affected by this.

Re: Virgin Media Closing Albert Dock
 

How many people, in reality, can move/would want to move from Liverpool to Swansea, it's not really a commutable distance.

Re: Virgin Media Closing Albert Dock
 

Directly employed VM people may be able to Knowsley, or Wythenshawe. Also Virgin are still recruiting Mobile Customer Service staff at Wythenshawe so IBM employed people may be able to apply for those roles

Saying that of course it's going to be a difficult time for those affected, as it always is when a building closes

Re: Virgin Media Closing Albert Dock
 

There was a comment on El Reg about job losses at Knowsley as well.

Edit : actually depends on how you read it, it might mean jobs available :-/

Re: Virgin Media Closing Albert Dock
 

In this current economic climate feel sorry for those affected but I guess that's the risk when employed as a contractor.
Good luck to all affected.

Sorry to all the guys and girls loosing their jobs in Liverpool, I am amazed that it took them so long to close Albert dock.
It is a listed building, with no room for expansion, and was costing a fortune to run and rent.

Matrix Ct has room for expansion, and is owned by VM, when I "Left (pushed, that's a whole different story regarding taking Broadband support away from us, and giving us the truly dire ADSHell to support )" half the building was mothballed.

VM have lost a very large number of the "old heads" from Swansea due to a number of inept decisions and idiotic Moronpower actions, quite a few are now working with me in Bridgend. Most of us knew the network inside and out, and could spot a potential outage without having to book pointless engineers (if there was an efficient way of doing something or a Telewest way, the efficient way always got binned).

Good luck to VM, in finding staff, it seems like half of Swansea has worked there at one time or another, and wouldn't ever go back.

feel sorry for the staff who work at albert dock. any time i had a problem with my service majority of the time retentions put me through to liverpool. being from liverpool was perfect for me as i could understand the staff clearly unlike india hope most of them find jobs locally in the north west as it going to swansea everyday isn't viable for most ppl who work there as they are local to merseyside or north west area. stupid move by VM most vm staff in liverpool no what they are talking about unlike india.
