From a mate who works for Virgin Media ;
"He doesn’t own any of the companies he sells his brand, We are owned by liberty global, In the uk virgin brand means something, He doesn’t own any he has 10% share of every company he’s put £250million pounds in a pot for all staff who work under the virgin brand if they face financial difficulties. I think that’s awesome pal, ignore the media it’s bollocks, He asked for a bailout loan for Virgin Atlantic, Delta airlines own them, He was trying to protect the Uk staff, The yanks don’t care about them."
That said, all essential Virgin staff are getting paid a 1k bonus as a thank you,so I might be just as complimentary under those circumstances!
