Was told today that they intend to close the department I work in, and move it to Wales – and then quite possibily onto Bangalore..
Oh joy – over the next couple of days we’ve been told to think about what sort of job we want to do, and they would discuss it with us.
In my heart I’ve seen this coming for a long time, migration of support documents have been flowing to Wales for a long-long time, but nothing was ever flowing the other way – we were supposed to be able support the services for Wales in case of a failure at there end, but no information ever filtered through.
About a month ago, a report was requested to prove to senior management how expensive it would be to move the service/department I work in to Wales (and what a bad idea it was) – but I thought it the time it was only a rouse to get our buy-in and for the report to be created with minimum objection and maximum input.
Well we was also told that 10 people will be employeed in Wales to take on our work – resources we have been asking for ourselves for a long time..
