Only the day before, March 3, the CEO had sent another letter to employees informing them of Telecom Italy SpA legal proceedings involving Telecom Sparkle ....
Egr.Dott. Franco Bernabe,
are a group of working men and women belonging to IT Operations of Telecom Italy SpA
We are writing to you with this open letter to outsource all our disbelief, our doubts and fears for the future that awaits us, our families and, if it helps, the same Telecom Italy SpA
Inspired by the well- notes that legal proceedings involving Telecom Sparkle - and to whom, mind you, none of us has the slightest responsibility - you, as AD, has felt the need to send to all employees on March 3, 2010 a 'appreciable letter in which it reaffirmed their commitment to clean inside the last two years and prepare the appropriate means to no longer have to repeat episodes as as occurred in the past and that have so damaged the reputation of our company.
In the same letter you have mentioned several times condivisibilissimi concepts such as:

Telecom Italy a heritage that belongs to us all and we must do everything in our power to continue to safeguard its future prosperity and .
Fine words, undoubtedly, Mr. Bernabe.
Too bad the next day, March 4, 2010, has received a formal notice to the trade unions of the decision of Telecom Italy to sell the business represented by the "IT Operations" on Shared Service Centre Ltd (SSC), controlled by Telecom Italy SpA who also, in fact, the only client.
expressly stated intent is to maintain Telecom Italy-ordinate policy and planning to leave SSC IT and operational expenses (mainly software development, but not only). SSC clearly must "progressively offer their services end to end into line with best market performers in terms of cost and quality." To do this the same SSC will take all steps to rationalize its manufacturing costs, including efficiency plan in force, in order to achieve the necessary levels of competitiveness. "
will include Dr. Bernabe, the razionarizzare cost efficient organic results in us, ordinary working people (and our families) who work here 10, 20 or 30 years some moderate concern.
Frankly, we were aware of being responsible for the impoverishment of the Company, the main cause of its debts and its inefficiencies.
See Doctor, when in the press (L'Espresso # 10 11 / 03/2010) states that one of its illustrious predecessor, Riccardo Ruggiero, from 2003 to 2006 received a payment from 3 to 6 million € per year and then leave by the company in 2007 with an incentive of 17.2 million, some little suspicion about the origins of the current situation is to us and to you?
See Doctor, when you read (again from the No. 10 Espresso / 11 03/2010), which pays about Telecom Italy € 400 million per year for the rental of buildings that were owned by him and then switched to Pirelli Real Estate (nb chaired by Marco Tronchetti Provera), some other slight doubt about the causes of the difficulties we are in business and to you?
See Doctor, the business that Telecom intends to dispose of Italy is composed of 2200 persons with high professional and technical qualifications, however, exist between our figures with the expertise to assess - beyond the formal intentions and reassurances about the soundness of the company - not just data from the last budget this will be approved and made public.
We believe it is our right to know how things really are, to understand what are the prospects of Telecom Italy and SSC, while hoping that someone will explain how these s'incardinano its business plan.
See Doctor, citing the plan our minds run back to years not too far away. She was not there in 2003: that year the largest company making software for Telecom Italy, that Telesoft, fellow, Saritel, Netsiel (all SpA) were incorporated in IT Telecom SpA in order to realize operational synergies, the streamlining and improvements that could ensure a single computer terminal in an activity called "core" business.
In 2005 this sector was considered so vital that it was incorporated in Telecom IT Telecom SpA Italy
What is happening now is a dramatic reversal of strategy, but at this point we have to submit you a question: is there about this company in a coherent strategic plan for the medium- long-term, independent of the contingencies of the immediate?
In all sincerity, Sir, during these years we have developed some doubts on the conduct management at various levels.
This is not the place to deal with issues such as defining objectives to be achieved, the measurement methods adopted to measure productivity, or those for the recognition of individual merit.
here is intended to emphasize that despite all the tools in place does not add up, and it does not seem right that the only ones who pay are the usual ones, that is, us workers.
Incidentally, we saw how the two main culprits - in terms of the corporate hierarchy, of course - our function (IT Operations / Software Factory) are not affected by the sale: of course their undoubted ability to continue to be most profitably employed in Telecom Italy SpA than in Shared Service Center Srl, or maybe we can find them in the CDA of the latter.
The Doctor extend our greetings, with the hope that we can bring clarity together and overcome this difficult moment.
But we know right now that we will be relentless and determined in defense of our rights and our work.
workers and workers of IT Operations.
