UK ISP Demon Internet's (THUS) move to close its Glasgow based technical support centre could see roughly 40 jobs being lost:
"They told us they're making the lot of us redundant with many of the jobs going to India," said one insider. "Why? Because it's cheaper. After we're all gone the jobs will be split between Southend-on-Sea and Bangalore in India."
A spokeswoman for Demon - which is part of Scottish telco group Thus - confirmed that there could be redundancies but insisted that the decision to close the Glasgow call centre was just a "proposal" at the moment.
"It's part of a business efficiency review. We're proposing to consolidate our customer services operation in one facility in Southend," she said.THUS is already known to be experiencing a rough period, which probably helps to explain the reason for all this. More @
