Please don't begin holding ones breath, Mr Cat
The question of Contractors used to rear its head quite regularly within BTo, but as was stated by one of our higher-tier managers (Haven't a clue who he was), at last years 'Roadshow' events .......... we will
always need to retain the use of Contractors to help fire-fight in times of high fault volumes / installation tasks ........... the benefit to the company being that they are only used as and when required.
There's arguments for and against, I know as I've debated it to death over the years. But, I don't wish to detract from the fact that BTo are looking at recruiting up to 800 new souls this year. That I think, is great news.
We've a lot of folk on here who are still young enough to carve out a career in BT.
Instead of wondering how a large conglomerate operates, second-guessing what processes are in place, listening to all the 'BT are monsters' rumours ........ get yourself an interview for a job that has incredibly good terms and conditions, provides all tools, clothing, training (I know
), almost unlimited 'Overtime' opportunities ...... and a whole host of other things that I could mention. Instead of slating BT without knowing what really goes on behind the scenes, now is your opportunity to try and get a foothold into the company and see exactly how it works, the enormity of it all.
NB .... obviously the above is not aimed at your goodself, Mr Cat. You should be employed as 'Chief Engineer'
. It's aimed at members who may want to take up this fantastic opportunity.
