Yep, I too have been made redundent.

Bastards. They made you wait all weekend?

Good luck with the prospective new job, though.

Bastards.

So they changed their mind about the split role then.

Hope the other job comes through

Yeah, i have a second interview on Friday with a company I was talking to before the redundency.

Good luck mate. Ask if they need Java people 🙂

Buy the brewery!!! 🙂

Good luck chap. Every cloud etc etc

Good luck mate, but I reckon you’ll be fine……

What can possibly go wrong?
😉

WCA, you’ll be fine. There’s something about you that makes it obvious. Good luck!

Good luck with the second interview!

(By the way, it’s ‘redundant’ and ‘redundancy’: might help…!)

Just don’t offer to make any electrical equipment for them or take your axe to the interview!

Perhaps you could buy your prospective employers some Leffe and give them free tickets to a certain cycling event coming up this year?

Seriously, all the best!

Cheers all, just about to start the ‘New Start Leffe’

Is that an especially large bottle? 😀

Might just open another can of beer myself (it not being a school night for me as I haven’t worked for ages!). What do I mean might? Definitely going to open another beer and watch University Challenge!

one door closes etc etc. Good luck with the interview mate. Been redundanted twice. Both times was the best thing that could have happened to me.

If it all goes wrong you can be a state sponsored rider and Big Bike Bash organiser.

Good Luck Nick.
If you don’t get the job maybe we should talk.
I can email you some numbers if your interested.
My place all but shut down , boss banking on a tranche of cash from Sir Gerry Robinson MP, if it comes off he’s laughing, if not, cheap brewery on the market. Sir Gerry making a tv program on business suffering in the recession. winnning business gets £100k plus some of his time. loosers get made redundant.

WCA – you are in pre-sales right?

Any experience in Telecoms?

Well I hope this provides you with an opportunity to find a better and more secure job. Good luck for Friday mate 8)

woodey – Telco, pharma, manufacturing and finance are my main areas basically focussed on information management and business processing

pharma = pharamceuticals?
Sounds like you should send your CV here…

They started talking about redundancies at my work today, but it was sort of ‘oh we don’t think we will have to make people redundant, don’t panic, panic isn’t needed, definitely don’t panic’

Strangely the word I remembered was ‘panic’. 😛

good luck ya great galah! 😀

DezB – Here is where?

Queue Lords Wood building frenzy.
Good luck Nick

Covidien. Health care company in Gosport. Used to be part of Tyco, before that Cyanamid.

grazza – The workmans trail in open again. The jump site has a new roller line. There is an entirely new trail called the Redundency Trail starting near the mopeds crossroads. Heading up there for some more work soon.

Woodey – I could be interested. tyger@talk21.com

Oi ! Easy Tyger, it was me he was after!

sorry lads, filled last week 🙁

welcome to STW fired club

Talk of a closure for 2wks at easter saving on stat hol payments and a further 2(at least)closures during the yr. 24/365 process so not easy/poss to do away with a shift or weekend working, way too much disruption. Whats being proposed is a gamble on start-ups anyway, could lose as much as is saved(projected). Raw material suppliers are losing custom and therefore running into viability problems. Propping up customers struggling with payments etc all adding up. We are/were profitable, considered a “world leader/innovator” but bankers don`t care.

Good luck to you matey!!!

Well I have a strong lead with a company that makes the software I’m an expert in. But they are being taken over by IBM so I think it might be hard to squeeze me in…
