Re: Slow simple explanation.
BT was actually pretty good to work for - even though I and many thousands weren’t fortunate enough to be on the Reward Framework scheme being an acquisition.
A bit bureaucratic and overly procedural - I remember the cancer of ‘Mandatory Training coming around every year.
I indeed got a bottom £4,500 car allowance based on my job- which as outside the reward framework did not increase ever.
It was pretty good until they sold my ass off as part of the see-saw cycle between ‘core business refocus’ and diversification into growth area’s. I was in a Business Solutions semi-autonomous division which included Dabs.com and BT Fleet. We were tossed out to the American Software house we were the EU reseller and systems integrator for.
