countrybumpkin Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 sorry to hear that, but on the plus side they have given you some notice, i'm sure you'll find somthing just start phoning other companys and applying for everything even if its not a job you really want

ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Sorry to hear that Antz. At least you've plenty of time to find something else. When I got made redundant it was like 'We're relocating to Bristol. Clear your desk and don't let the door hit you on the way out'.

Copey Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 man that sucks, hope you find another job soon
Admin Vista Posted October 20, 2008 Admin Report Posted October 20, 2008 Won't you be entitled to some sort of redundancy pay off? By all means find another job but do it so it ties in as neatly as it can with the end of your current one. If you leave early of your own accord you won't get any redundancy money and why should you save them any money?
Trevmk3 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 sorry to here that mate, but do like Scott said and try and get a job for when they have made you redundent
Retro-gone. Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 yeah get a job bloody layabout ... i dunno, kids today eh... now when i was a lad......

By all means find another job but do it so it ties in as neatly as it can with the end of your current one. If you leave early of your own accord you won't get any redundancy money and why should you save them any money? im going for an interview with hays accountancy job finders thingy this thursday. its about a 65% chance i gonna go but as we were only told today none of us knows whats happening. all i know is some indian dude is gonna get my job id rather get out still can. cant be fooked hanging around waiting for the moment of SHALL I STAY SHALL I GO? id rather just ditch em and go if an offer coems up
Trevmk3 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 ask if you can have one of the jobs in India
antz Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 im not going to fooking india. they didsay they would try and find other jobs for us within the company and they already have 5 possible vacancies for the possible 13 redundancies. just wanan cover all my options and see what they do. a vacancy could be anything from sales and marketting to cutting chips on the factory floor. covering my options seems the best thing. hang on there as long as i can but also see if i can line up another job elsewhere doing what im trained to do
Trevmk3 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 cutting chips, do you work for McCains?
ratman Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 gutted for you hope you find something soon Just like my local council 4 young girls in the office got told there loseing there jobs and suprise suprise there is going to be a new manager post in the same office paid for by them going bunch of bastards
antz Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 one thing i noticed ratman...the main director and his secretary have their jbos still, so does the finance manager adn the chief financial accountant and the other finance accountant. the rest of us its time up
Trevmk3 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 yep its all the cushy jobs with the high wages they will keep. where i work keeps getting more and more managers for different areas, but none of them know the arse from there elbow
antz Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 yep its all the cushy jobs with the high wages they will keep. where i work keeps getting more and more managers for different areas, but none of them know the arse from there elbow same as my work....managers for managers who manage managers.. i prefer the good old saying: TOO MANY COWBOYS AND NOT ENOUGH INDIANS
Toby Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 That's shit news mate, maybe hang around for the golden handshake and maybe the timing will work out well on a new job turning up. The staff going and the managers staying reminds me of The Office episode when David Brent says he has some good news and bad news... Many a true word spoken in jest.... Good luck, it'll work out.
antz Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Posted October 20, 2008 cheers toby. in the ende i dont have a lot to lose as i have no mortgage, no debts and the only bills i have every month are a £33 phone contract and a £35 garage rent. only thing is with 32 people all in one specialised area of work looking for a job then were all gonna be fighting for the same thing....getting a job up here aint easy as it is let alone having your fellow work colleagues going for the same job!!! gonna cover my options and get looking for a job but also try adn hold on as long a i can. milk em for everything they got and all that,
Fishtailparka Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 TOO MANY COWBOYS AND NOT ENOUGH INDIANS Too many Indians in this case Ant Move on and get another job, "fortune favours the brave"
Pipster007 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Bad luck Antz. Hope you find something soon
