BT have to cut costs, they used to be a monopoly but now they have to compete with Virgin, o2, a myriad of ther providers. I'm not saying it's right, I'm not saying that's not tough on your brother (I have a cousin who works for BT and I know what you're saying is true because she's faced much the same treatment), but that's what life is now. There isn't any such thing as a job for life anymore.
