!0.000 Jobs to go at BT!!
« on: 13 November 2008, 18:07:00 »
Yes, 10,000 jobs are apparantly to go before "the end of the financial year" at BT!  :o :o :o :o :o:'(

That is terrible news at any time for people working for BT, but in the lead up to Christmas knowing they could be out of a job by March 2009 it is just terrible. :'( :'( :'(

Also what is it going to do for the average BT customer like myself?  Be prepared to receive a worse service I suppose! :o :o >:(

On the 1:30 news thet said 4000 jobs, but they would be from the agencies, contracting and then the close to retirement etc.

Would anyone believe them, I dont think so.

4,000 BT Directly Employed Staff are going yet again the media machine is full of s**t!!!!!!!!

last year 7,000 staff left BT through retirement & enhanced voluntary leave schemes! so 4,000 isnt much!

This Ian Livingston is a rite tit hes planning or rouning the pension scheme and what ever else hes upto all he is doing is penny pinching!

i would love BT to make me redundant as i would be in for a mega payout  ;D ;D ;D

They are hoping to make no compulsory redunancies, and 4000 have already gone so it's media hype to say /another/ 10k.

Sadly they are a big company that will want to cut costs where it can - BT have other things to worry about than the global economy though, the Government insisting that they spend a fortune upgrading networks only for other companies to make money from them is just one issue.

And no, I don't work for BT.  What I AM is fed up of the media stirring it up.  THEY talked us into a recession and the meddling barstewards are poised to do worse work elsewhere.  Scum.

Cheers,
James

Yep, you are absolutely right.

There is nothing that a company (particularly larger ones) like more than having an excuse where their accounts can 'save them money' by axeing a few jobs.

Give it 6 months, the company begins to fair badly because these jobs were more vital than an accountant (who didn't fully understand the matter) realised, and the company is forced into re-hiring or further restructuring to fix the issue.

BT say this is nothing to do with the credit crunch, they had it planned anyway to stay competitive. But, they would say that, wouldn't they...............
