Sometimes I hate to read The Sun Newspapers because they always prefer to display the darkside of Philippines
Who knows, some filipino workers have nice and better house in Philippines than The Sun staffs

Scousers don't read The Sun after what they done after Hillsborough
Readership in Liverpool is still the lowest in the UK, we have long memories.....although it can be bad as well as I remember being born out of my mothers

As far as I can read, nothing bad is mentioned about the Philippines, dear....
Only about some call-centre workers that don't like having their jobs relocated overthere.....
hmmm I might apply for a job with T-mobile in a call centre in philI would jump at the chance to relocate (I'm biased though), a quick search and there is a job for an accounts manager £70,000 thats a good wage in UK let alone Phil.
I think penny is refering to the photos it's not a flattering pic of manila but saying that the one from scotland isn't great
Mark, Cristina & Raffy
And the fact that the company may be trying to avoid paying them redundancy payments.As far as I can read, nothing bad is mentioned about the Philippines, dear....
Only about some call-centre workers that don't like having their jobs relocated overthere.....
Yes, it was a bad photo indeed.....why did the photo showed the slums anyway?I don't think that's where this company will relocate?....
No wonder the workers from scotland are so scared of being transferred thereWho would want to work in the slums?
This photo is a deliberate and absolute misrepresentation.......
They should have posted a photo of the business district areas such as makati and ortigas.....since this areas are more likely to be the relocation spot
and not the slums that they showed on the photo.......
Philippines does not primarily consist of slum areas........we have largely more pleasant, urbane and progressive areas than slum areas.....

The photo the newspaper used was just a stock photo and whatever you say it is representative of Manila (slums and new tower blocks) and the Philippines in general. It's not a case of the workers being scared, it's just that most if not all of them would not want to uproot their familys and move to the otherside of the world, especially as if they did it is likely their wages would be re-adjusted and/or they would have their contracts terminated as soon as posssible.
To be honest the company is not expecting anyone to move, it is just playing games during the consultation period it's obliged to have when making large number of jobs redundant and trying to reduce the amount of money it's going to have to pay out.
Exactly my point.....what a prejudicial and biased stock of photo, just showing the slums as a representation of manila or the philippines as a whole.....
True..... however, in the photo i only see slums, i don't see any new tower blocks or any of that sort......
Now, that's my only point and nothing else.....

Chill a phill newspaper would probably show buck palace or tower bridge (the one most phill think is london bridge) as probably first stock picture they have.
Most likely they just googled for a picture and many people show pretty iffy pictures of glasgow show the tower blocks.
At least they showed a mixture what from what i have seen manila is it has its rich parts and poorer parts. Many of which would be no go areas for many british families if moved there at least at first.
As Darren B has mentioned as people living in Britain i would be worried how the company is treating the workers here.
This time its people in Glasgow next it maybe closer to home.
If you and your loved ones in the UK were told be fired or move to Nigeria (first country which came in to my head) and work with the local employment rules and pay. The keeping same terms and condtions will go out the window almost for certain. Would you be worrying about the picture in the news article or have more pressing concerns?
What about their other halfs do they quit their job?
Yes i know many phill families are split up but usually they are not forced to go or be fired from their job.

Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
it might the writer never been that place in manila ate penny

Oh, sorry i overlooked and missed the background (buildings and tower of the business district).......
probably because the image is vague and just a mere silhouette while the slums are shown as the primary image at a very clear precision.....

British jobs for foreign workers
well we all know brown and HM gov cannot protect British jobs, you would have thought the EU would
why doesn't the EU fine T-mob ? they fined Microsoft and Intel for doing deals with PC Makers, then why not fine T-mob for moving jobs out of the EU, when its obvious the jobs are being moved to the phils just to save on the wage bill, yet the service they provide is in the UK and europe. no T-mob in the phils
i would have thought there will be many people taking them to an employment tribunal for breech of contract, i'm sure t-mob would have to pay the same wage what they get now in the phils, so if many people said yes i'll go, then t-mob would not be saving so much, and not much point in moving them then.

From what I heard they don't want them to go anyay as they already have the workers in place in the Philippines. And even if they did move and were protected by TUPE that would only last for so long.
Yeah we know, calm down.
what's bruces wig got to do with it
and why would tupe come into it ? is t-mob being bought out by someone
The way I read it is the current call centre in Scotland is run by TSC (Indian owned) and new one in Manila is run by 24/7 (Philippines owned).what's bruces wig got to do with it
and why would tupe come into it ? is t-mob being bought out by someone
I was phoned last year by an employee of a pinoy call-centre,he was in Makati,I asked him was he pinoy(pinoy ka ba?)bad move,he was a bayot and phoned me four or five times over the course of a month for a chat
