BT Workers Syndicate Euromillions Winners! Would you....

Post by Sci_Dog »

Just watched the press conference with the 7 person syndicate from BT that won just over £6M each. Congrats to them.

A reporter asked them would they now continue you to work.

Their reply was that they had all handed in their notice BUT will talk to their employer when all the hype has calmed down. They said BT had been good to them over the years and they didn't want to let BT or their customers down. They also said they would do all they could to help keep the company working as normal until their replacements were found.

I suppose they felt they owed the company something as they had been treated well by them.

My question? If you had just won over £6M would you feel you owed Royal Mail something and would you help them and your customers until they found your replacement?

if I won that much that would be a phone call I would make. I would go into work as normal knowing what's the worst that could happen. wind my DOM up so much he tries to conduct me then tell him where to stick his job.

Its an interesting one. :hmmmm

I feel no loyalty to my Dom or RM but would like to say a proper good bye to my colleagues and arrange one BIG piss up. Also would like to bid farewell one or two customers so would prob work my two weeks notice. But how good would it feel walking round knowing I no longer needed to worry about a poxy £8 quid an hour job.

Bliss and deep joy. :Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy

Hey! I'm only going with what the BT workers said! And they said they felt they owed BT something!

Me personally? I would give everyone in my office a years wages so they could all take a career break! Well not everyone! Just the people I like!
