There will be all form of clauses around non discclosure for them to sign as part of the redudancy,

Wanna bet?

Disclosures would have been signed at the time of employment standard NDA's as part of the contract. Still, I'd have no problem disclosing what I know about the fuckers since I've been shafted. So long as its not company sensitive in terms of future strategies customer details etc... you're safe enough....

A shocking offer from a rich and highly profitable company who have handled this whole situation terribly from the outset. And far removed from what Phil Prendergast correctly requested ....... "If the company is to salvage something from the wreckage of this corporate image car crash, it must offer its Waterford workforce exceptional and unprecedented redundancy terms and make a considerable contribution to the community."

Like I've said, its exactly the same as what we were offered, especially for the people less than 2 years. We had to take it to the labour court to get 1 month on top of our statutory. Nothing is of shock or surprise here. Terms are very very similar to what we were offered

If a disgruntled employee had sensitive knowledge about the company and wanted to leak it they could use the NDA as bum wipe and just put the info on the Internet from a cafe ip address. NDA's are no longer enforceable because of the Internet. Maybe even wikileaks would help out since talk talk were such coxukers!

Couldn't agree more. Nothing more than they deserve either.

All staff will get a €1,600 ex-gratia payment while team leaders will get another €500.

maybe its just me but I think someones final redundancy payments are there own business and i wouldnt appreciate it if facts and figures were splashed all over the newspapers.

Its ok for the first offer as people can get in all the bad company ****e offers quotes they want, but after that when its concrete terms it should be a private matter for the individual to assess and its bad form on both the Independant and whoever gave the Independant the information in my opinion

I think its shocking how team leaders are getting an extra E500 each and no one else is. That wasn't part of the negotations that we were all briefed on. We were told everyone would be treated the same. Everyone. Why the feck should a TL get more than a trainer or an agent or a Realtime analyst?? What happened to equality for all?? Fair play for the extra E1600 for most workers, but if the TLs werent getting a special E2100 each then maybe everyone would get E1700 or E1800.

Media999 · 25-09-2011 11:40am

Maybe if Prendergast kept her attention seeking mouth shut they would have increased it.

What bloody benefit has she been? And this other fat fool smiling to the media the day they announced the closure as if she has one some kind of prize.

Can anyone actually tell me one simple thing that these politicians have changed? One bloody thing.

It is shocking of course it is but at the same time you need to remember who everyones dealing with, hence these details should not have been leaked, it should have been left to the individual to either sign or contest tbh, based on whats in front of them not whats in the papers.

The staff should have a representative group for the consultation period. We did. In this case, and I agree its unfair, then I would raise this as a point for the consultative meetings that either they additional cash is spread out amongst staff or an explanation as to why this has been granted for TL's only.

If you ask one of your representatives to raise this point, they are obliged to do it regardless of their opinion.

Do you see some sort of problem with the offer?!

abouttobebanned · 29-09-2011 8:05am

Not really. There's more to it, but decided not to go into it.

On the face of it, it's a great initiative and hopefully a lot of talk talk employees will take advantage of it. :-)

shinzon · 29-09-2011 8:06am

Tbh no one in work new about the Kidzone offer till I sent round mail yesterday, Team Leaders have done the same as well so hopefully staff will take them up on there offer

If the jobs are gone, they have no choice but accept what is being offered.

abouttobebanned · 29-09-2011 9:21am

They have no choice but to go and play in a kidzone?

You're not making sense.

So if people's jobs in TalkTalk are gone they must accept the Kidszone offer?
I suggest you actually read some posts before posting,

:rolleyes:

Kotek Besar · 29-09-2011 3:11pm

Lads it's only a proposed closure. By definition that means that closure may well not go ahead.

Yes and everyone is only at risk of redundancy. All within the law and all that jazz.
