  Well, sad news again but they do it every end of financial year. So much for company loyalty when they treat employees in such a disgraceful manner as marching people off site with no notice (not …more»the first time and won't be the last). Best wishes to all affected by this news. May be this is your chance to make a career change like I did.«less

  Get over yourselves! Its business. Redundancies and cost cutting are all part of a recession. If a business dosent make these changes now it wont be able to trade in the furture. And dont talk about l…more»oyalty, there is no such thing anymore. The only reason people have stayed with them for so long is they enjoy it, havent been offered a better job or too lazy to find another job, plane and simple!«less

  As an employee @ the warrington center, it has been very bad the way they treated the staff who have been loyal to the company for 7 years plus to be marched into the board room, given the…more» marching orders had their ID tags taken and escorted off the premises. Shocking not even a good bye good luck or thanks.
  
  Now all the staff left are sat waiting for our tap on the sholder from the big boss who we have all never seen or met apart from the odd email saying how bad the company is doing. thanks for your loyalty Vodafone«less

  I was one of those let go yesterday and while I understand why, they did it in the way they did it was just so cold and impersonal. As said before some genuinely good people have been let go.

  Rubbish. DBM - some website that directs you to some tools that to use fully you have to pay for. A couple of template CV's and a job site, that is the same as all the others on the net. Cu…more»t people who actually made a differnce not like the rest just sitting in a meeting planning for 6 months. Guy Lawrence should go.«less

  I'm in Prospect Union, formally Connect, and I know for a fact that they are helping some of them who have gone. If you all joined Prospect then they could stop them being like this to us.

  I got the "aftercare" service from DBM when I left Vodafone this consisted of one email telling me how to write a CV, I could have googled the same info in about 30 seconds, it was jus…more»t a box ticking excercise so Vodafone could say they provided support.«less
