2,200 Virgin employees get laid

November 11, 2008

Virgin Media LogoVirgin Media has announced a “restructuring” which will cost 2,200 workers their jobs. Chief blowhard for the company, Neil Berkett issued this empathetic statement:

“These changes are critical to ensuring Virgin Media is positioned to compete effectively and deliver on our customers’ changing expectations.”

Yes Neil, you’ve heard your customers loud and clear — they want you to have fewer employees to serve them with. At least blame the economy, asshole.
