Darkside
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

hmmm I might apply for a job with T-mobile in a call centre in phil I 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 greatMark, Cristina & Raffy

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 there Who 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....."10% of life is made up of what happens to you, 90% is decided by how you react"

I think you are missing the point totally.
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.....Last edited by Arthur Little; 26th March 2016 at 14:20.

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.Last edited by Arthur Little; 26th March 2016 at 14:35.

Nigeria As somebody said,stock photo,dont take it to heart

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.

British jobs for foreign workers
well we all know brown and HM gov cannot protect British jobs, you would have thought the EU would , its one thing to move jobs around the EU but out of the EU is another matter.
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 .. fine them for each job moved
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.Last edited by Arthur Little; 26th March 2016 at 14:39.

If they hired British married to Filipina or vice versa, it would be great as some of us wants to relocate. I would love to relocate if the price is right. We have already place to live and no need to rent
Hard to get Job security here I'm afraid.Last edited by Arthur Little; 26th March 2016 at 14:40.
