seems as if another high quality company is making people redundant, and its going to have a major effect on tag on industries,and the high quality training that it brings with it.
Manufacturing is doomed in UK plc it appears.

It's not the order book thats the problem , it's lack of anything after Eurofighter that's the problem.
We will all find out in the morning apparently.
lets see what they say then.
Whatever the outcome it's not good.

Not to worry. According to Gideon Tesco and Macdonalds are both recruiting. The future of high skill employment is safe

There must be a great need for skilled aircraft engineers and fitters to work on deviating shopping trolleys at tesco, now if only they could design a trolley that went where you wanted it to.
Who or what is a gideon. Because theyve not got any idea about skilled jobs.

BAE SYSTEMS can do that for you, but they will cost £23million each and take 18 years to deliver.
(and they won't go where you want them to :wink:)

Its George Osbornes real name. He's obviously dropped it to appear less like a moronic, braying, over-privileged, clueless, chinless toff
Its going well
Posted 8 months ago # -
Well, when I was in Penrith earlier today headline news was "Council axes 20 jobs". Nowhere's safe.

Osborne changed his name when he was 12 Binners. He may be a **** but the name change thing isn't why.

Its George Osbornes, heir to the Osborne baronetcy (of Ballentaylor, in County Tipperary, and Ballylemon, in County Waterford), real name.

Just dawned on me, Osbourne is Irish and is taking revenge for the centuries of English misrule of Ireland.

So he's an Irish kock then.

One of my works colleagues husbands is contracting for BAE doing redundancy calculations. Originally he was only taken on for a few weeks but they keep extending the contract and recently have extended it for 6 months which they haven't done before so obviously busy times ahead!

Surely it should be written O'Sbourne then?

From i started with BAE 10 years ago there has been year on year speculation of redundancies.
We've not long had our last round of voluntary redundancies, it seems they want out the aircraft industry right enough.
Best wishes to all involved.
Posted 8 months ago # -
I will find out at 10.00am also, its been the 4th round of redundancies for me in as many years, been lucky so far...
Posted 8 months ago # -
Its like a feeding frenzy on bbc, live fromoutside the gates, oh and BAE ay the staff can go home at 11.00 thats nice of them.
Posted 8 months ago # -
No ones told me to go home at 11.00am?
Posted 8 months ago # -
I would think the Osbornes were part of and benefitted greatly from centuries of British misrule in Ireland.
So consequently he is genetically predisposed to crapping from a great height on what he might consider the lower social orders - regardless of nationality.
Redundancy isn't fun and I wish everyone facing it all the best.

The Governments overspent on defence for many many years. Sad though for the employees.

the government has miss spent not over spent. Its like they spend 5 grand on a bike and its got a slx crank and tora forks.Posted 8 months ago # -
True Hora. Not like we needed too either was it? Living in a time of eternal peace and everything. The blame lies with stupid gung-ho politicians getting us into pointless wars
All the best to the Bae lot. Not a good situation to be in.
And as its the north west that's going to take the hit on the job losses, nobody in the corridors of power will give a toss. Unaware, or more likely just unconcerned as they are about anything going on outside the M25.
Looks like things are going to get a bit grimmer up this part of the country. Not to worry though. As long as George and Dave's friends keep raking in what they need to keep them in multi-million pound Chipping Norton properties, that's ok

Theres that and over-run, over-budget etc.
Then theres Nimrod.
I imagine most of it is down to the 'Customer' (staff in Whitehall/ex-Military etc) changing their minds, indecisive etc etc whilst the meter is running).

Good luck to anyone at BAE and others in the same situation. Happened to me 10 months ago and is no fun

binners, the Policitians are too busy trying to look 'fair and open/unbiased' to their Euro allies...the latest being Bombardier thrown to the wall...
Watching the Despatches Program last night on Tony Bliar really depressed me.
How to look 'good' whilst feathering the nest.
Posted 8 months ago # -
Hora - its down to the MOD procurement staff being absolutely and utterly incompetent.
Did you see the Dispatches programme on Four about it not long back? The ****-wittedness truly defies belief.
The full programme isn't on 4OD unfortunately
