Staff Frustrations Cause Headache for Virgin Media’s Management

The CEO of cable operator Virgin Media, Tom Mockridge, and other members of his senior management team have been roasted by staff this week after a Q&A session revealed a strong level of internal dissatisfaction, not least with the alleged “faceless change drivers” at new owner Liberty Global.

“We are people not numbers,” said one employee. Shortly after that another member of VM’s disgruntled staff added, “We have worked really hard under the threat of redundancy for nine months with very little communication, only to find out yesterday that we are being TUPEd to another company.”

Not good, liberty global need to provide answers.

I'll wager that in some not too distant future, where they can, the new owner will oust UK staff for Yanks. I've heard of that more than once!

Not good, liberty global need to provide answers.

Absolutely. Playing with peoples livelihoods as if it were a whim, is utterly despicable.
Our Union (CWU) at least keep in constant touch regarding the 'Digital Review' and calls to split OR. This could mean the largest ever Tupe the UK has ever seen for us, and a whole different set of T&C's.

What I'm trying to say is at least we're being looked out for, the poor VM employees appear to have been royally shafted.
