It has been a relaxing two weeks, sunning myself on a Greek Island, but you eventually come back to reality and the real world. A small article in the Liverpool Daily Post caught my attention, you can read it here. How nice for Virgin Media that their sales are up 2% to £986 million for the first half of the year, the article goes on to stress that Virgin Media employs some 1000 people in Liverpool and Knowsley, the groups Chief Executive Neil Berkett said he was satisfied with the results, I’m sure he was. What Virgin Media wont tell you is that 50 of their tempoarary staff have just been made redundant, and how did the 50 employees know of their redundancy? BY TEXT MESSAGE   ’Your assignment with Virgin Media has come to an end, and we no longer have work for you. Neil Berkett said ‘ that we are acquiring and growing data savvy and data hungry customers’, yes you may well be Mr Berkett, but your insensitive and heartless method of informing 50 people they are out of work is shameful, but I shouldn’t be too surprised by the callousness of the action as it tells me all I need to know about the piss poor performance of the lamentable Vigin Media.
