My issue is with them sacking existing staff and moving overseas. I have no
problem with them opening _new_ centres and lines of business abroad, but
replacing _existing_ workers to save money is not on. Again, I have no issue
with them closing redundant branches, it's unfortunate but a fact of
business, but to close one and reopen elsewhere is completely unloyal.

If that's how they treat their staff, how do you think they'll treat their
customers? Unless you are a shareholder, you are worthless to them.
