garyv6100e Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 I work as a engineering surveyor for a company owned by AIG , i am feeling a bit vunerable what with all the headlines about AIG's financial postion at the moment, how is the morale where you are working
Fiesta Steve Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 Our work has slowed up, we have class 1 and 2 drivers cutting grass and cleaning the office windows, thats when you know things are bad !! We got a letter in our wage slips this week, the word redundancies was mentioned, I think my jobs safe but you never know Its certainly not reassuring Oh, and no pay rise this year for me, and with inflation expected at around 5% its feeling like I've had a pay cut.
Dr Feelgood Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 ive already been made redundant and its not like they need to do it theyre just bastards
Copey Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 aye, bloody thomas cook, the bastards!!! am never gonna find a full time job the way things are going now!! haha, pain!!
garyv6100e Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Posted September 16, 2008 We are very busy still , inspecting lifts cranes boilers etc its just that AIG go tits up we will be sold / broken up so we just don't know what the future holds at the moment
Durham Fiesta Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 our work has slowed up big style as there are no houses being built anymore. Think my job is relatively safe though
lotusless Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 i think the only safe job at the moment is in funerals sad but everyone needs em eventually
Mr Sam Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 i think the only safe job at the moment is in funeralssad but everyone needs em eventually my mum once said that to me,,,why dont you be an undertaker, people arent going to stop dying.........mother!! im relativly okay at the moment
JAY PS Posted September 17, 2008 Report Posted September 17, 2008 Aig insurance claims have slowed up and we are noticing a downturn in our workload. Folks still spending money on older cars ,weve had serveral Bmw E39 cars in lately having repaints and tidy up work done. The Motor trade is on its arse elsewhere also.
Admin Mk2Jo Posted September 18, 2008 Admin Report Posted September 18, 2008 At least paypackets will increase slightly this month as the tax allowance changed on 7th September so anyone who gets paid after that time should notice a very small pay rise
mk2_escort_chick Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 i think the only safe job at the moment is in funeralssad but everyone needs em eventually my mum once said that to me,,,why dont you be an undertaker, people arent going to stop dying.........mother!! She's got a point! At least paypackets will increase slightly this month as the tax allowance changed on 7th September so anyone who gets paid after that time should notice a very small pay rise Lol-u've never worked for Stylo then...fooking bar-stools!
garyv6100e Posted September 18, 2008 Author Report Posted September 18, 2008 Look forward to that tax cut . maybe now that AIG has got £85 billion it will be a good time to ask for a pay rise
MK2Ed Posted September 18, 2008 Report Posted September 18, 2008 how is the morale where you are working Been better...
