British Telecom

[CoolCat]

4 weeks pay for every year of service +10% 'early leaving' bonus.

Its often a lot more than that, and often in skills they are simultaneously trying to hire. People can leave with the top staff rating (aka big bonus for supposedly being good at their job, although a lot of bum licking is involved) and two years pay lump sum additionally after as little as two years service.

Worse than that I have seen them hire tens of people, who all on their first day as new starters were given 6 months pay and asked not to come back!

Not to mention the corrupt goings on with their embedded Indian outsourcers.

Clueless they are

They need to hire people so they can be seen to be getting rid of people to keep the shareholders happy.

BT = Bangalore Telecom, and they are a national disgrace, their main claim to fame being importing tens of thousands of workers into the country on ICT work visas from India, many of which have now gone onto having British passports, continually offering voluntary redundancy to their entire workforce so that the best always leave, and other wide and various bad business practises.
