    Wils110 what post did I delete on 103? You seem to have some issues and cannot take negative feedback which is not a good trait. I am merely expressing my opinion and if brown noses like u want to lie about deleted posts to make yourself look better in your sad worthless life so be it! Sky seems to be your life - muppett....

    The funniest thing about that statement is that I don't even have a TV, much less Sky.

    BigFool, fyi, you didn't just get PM'd a warning: it's gone on your infractions record, and is visible for any moderators of any boards.ie forum to see. You got it for explicitly ignoring a mod's instructions, not for expressing an opinion.

    C'mon, give us a clue: is it the programs they show, the fact that they charge too much, or the great people (including some of your fellow boardsies) who they employ?

    Sorry miss! I suppose it is detention for me!!

    My final point on this forum...
    It is not sky tv I have an issue with.. I love my sky tv and would not change. My point is not about wages or incentives.

    My point is that from my experience, management do not have a clue in retentions. I was unlucky and had a very very poor TL - everyone knows who so no names will be mentioned. Other TLs tried their best but with inadequate training for retentions their job is hard. I know sky are a start up but better planning was needed prior to launch...

    Bye.....

    I wonder out of interest are the dublin roles now being told not to be as agressive with retentions compared to when Abtran were doing it in Cork. Seems to be a world of difference in what you are being offered to stay with sky now since the new dublin office opened.

    My partner's sister, and many others were just let go at the end of their three month probation. She was bullied twice by the floor manager and told she would be better off leaving, and then they let her go. Told her that being available to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week including holidays just was not flexible enough. Seems to be a very common tactic for large call centres these days.

    This is common place in Sky. If you are not hitting target or just not liked by your manager you are a gonner!! For example, only 3 from my team of 15 made permanent and the rest had probation extended! The 3 made permanent never opened their mouths about anything. My TL was a right c u next Tuesday!!

    +1, the oddball thing about Call Centres is their twin track strategy of Stasi like totalitarian micromanagement and this U.S High School happy clappy high fiveing 'we all love you and each other' B.S

    They're created by c*nts, for c*nts, people who get on in them are c*nts as well

    Go look for a real job if your're wondering about applying.

    tough working in them I probably expect so respect to those who do. But then thats the new Ireland were the IDA are probably paying the first 3 years salaries of each Sky employee and then Sky will say ah no actually we can be more efficent in Scotland and India.

    This thread is being used in part for angry people to vent.

    The validation of the angry/disgruntled people in this thread should not be just taken for granted.

    There are always going to be angry/disgruntled people who want to tell everyone how angry/disgruntled they are, and that includes about their jobs.

    It's highly unlikely that the perfectly happy employees are going to seek an outlet to talk about how happy they are in their jobs, hence why you're not hearing from them in this thread. And that could quite easily be 99.9% of the employees.

    Don't be overly influenced by the screamers.

    Whirlpool - I hope you are not including me in your spoilt children quote??
    I am merely voicing my experience from working in Sky on a public forum. I do not appreciate your comments. My experience is that workers in sales are generally happy and workers in retention are not. Do you or have you worked for sky? If not please keep your view to yourself.
