Cable group Virgin Media has said it plans to cut 2,200 jobs by 2012, about 15% of its workforce, as part of a group-wide overhaul.

Virgin Media said the changes were "critical" to ensuring it was positioned to compete effectively.

The group said it would not start cutting jobs until the fourth quarter of next year.

The job losses come after 4,000 jobs were cut in the wake of NTL's merger with Telewest in 2005.



I suspect these jobs will go to India.

So if Virgin is fooked, what are they going to change the name to?

This isn't a new "credit crunch" thing - my brother works for them, this amount of job losses have been on the cards for a while now.
