well having worked there one summer a few years back... I'm delighted. Biggest shower of eejits running the place I've ever encountered in my life. Disgraceful sham of a company.

of course it's unfortunate for the employees (well the minions who are treated like crap), but gawd they deserve something better

aye, second that sentiment.

Dreadful company to work for, more concerned with policy and procedure than tech support and customer relations.

I third that, worked there for 2 months a few years ago.

Feel sorry for the phone monkeys but the I hope the managers choke on thier Turkey.

What a horrible place to work,last a few mnoths there and couldn't stick it anymore.
They paid terrible,
you were given a different shift every day, 4x10 1x4 or 5 (I can not remember)
1/2 hour for lunch,when the nearest shop was 1/2 hour away

Prehaps its all for the best. I feel sorry for the workers.

worked there for two summers in a row, worst jobs of my life. I absolutely detested the place and the managers there. most of the non-manager people there were grand and it's gonna be tough for them if they lose their jobs so close to christmas.
Place is awful, I shudder just thinking about it!

Meh. Only got an interview there. Seemingly the interviewer person thought some of my answers were "disturbing". If I ever met the dude again, I'd thank him. Never had the plesure for working for them, but at least they're honest:rolleyes:

the_syco - thats cause ur such a disturbing person;)

Be happy you didn't have to work there and the money is crap:)

Clientlogic lost broadband tech but gained bt billing...so no job losses there

testicle

So instead of my broadband doesn't work, it's my broadband hasn't worked for a week, and I want money back...

Not very technical then.

I worked there when I was 17/18 over 5 years ago now. The IT manager sacked me claimed I hit them with a ddos attack from germany in between calls. Which killed their internet usage for half a day.

I had a great time there, any jobs going Kevin?

Bunch of comeplete and utter assh*les.. unprofessional and absolutely useless
too.. So glowing reports all around eh? lol

Did 11 Months there made a lot of good friends but the mangement were pure morons and the money brutal but the social life with all the other Nationalities was second to none.

Twas on the Iomega Team and was my first look at IT after leaving the army....thems were the days :rolleyes:
