British Telecom

[DimPrawn]

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.

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.

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

What amateur allows others to collect money from their account?

[kingcook]

Direct Debit = someone has control of when and how much money to take from your account.

Standing order = YOU have the control.

If it wasnt for Thatcher £5000 a month would have been the discount rate for their services.

Why won't you blame Thatcher for breaking up BT's monopoly and selling them off?

My accounts person is away on holiday so I went to check whether we had been paid £13k by one of our client only to see an £8k increase in the balance. I dug a bit deeper thinking maybe it was an HMRC direct debit for VAT or something. It was indeed a DD but it was BT that had helped themselves to £5000 from our account. Now considering that we only pay £150 per month to these people I thought this was a bit strange. Had we not paid them for the last 3 years or what I thought? No every month had been paid. Fortunately I think I caught it in time to cancel the Direct Debit and it should be returned tomorrow.

I am going to be on their case tomorrow. What a damn cheek.
