Something similar happened in Poland, after France Telecom bought Telekomunikacja Polska (Polish national telecom). The conditions of the aquisition precluded FT from firing a lot of the staff, so they moved a lot of the better-paid people into call center hell, managed by nazi-like assholes. As per account of my family member that was one of those people, most of them quickly got perscription drugs from a psychiatrist (tranquilizers etc.), to avoid nervous breakdowns. After a couple of years, 100% of them left, often for an „early retirement” scheme which paid 20-25% of their salary. Oh, and that was when the FT was still „the good guys”, i.e. a public service. I guess they just treated Polish branch as their for-profit colony, where rules of basic decency do not apply.
