Gemmill 44304 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Have you been there long enough to get a decent payoff out of it? Hope so. Still like, not the sort of news you want in Christmas week. Fucking hell do people in charge of these decisions have no comprehension of timing???

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 Total shock like, we've been running a new project for the last 6 months that's getting rave reviews...now they're just going to shut it down. I'll have 5 and half years service, but we're sitting here working out our redundancy (how sad ) and it's looking shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21238 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 FFS, you would think they could have waited until January at the least. I hope it all turns out positive in the end with you getting a better job with a permanent contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thats shite. What is it with people / companies and the way the go about these things. When it happened to me they dragged me to London telling me it was to talk about plans for the following year only to them tell me they were closing us down and that I wasnt to tell any of the staff (which I did though). Anyway, was a blessing in disguise for me and things turned out even better after that. Hope the same happens for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) Christmas do cancelled and the boss is sending us home. Normally I'd be delighted. Anyway, on the plus side, our union bloke is doing his fucking nut and cracking skulls as we speak.

Meenzer 15372 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That's proper rubbish, that. Hope you move onwards and upwards (though young Brock's eggnog/urination plan sounds like a fine intermediate measure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Big developments yesterday afternoon and night..big dollop of shit hit a very large fan with some very prominent politicians storming round the civic giving out bitch slappings. Fingers crossed, but apparently we have a small glimmer of hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44304 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Excellent. Hope the decision gets reversed then. Although if it does, you should all look for new jobs anyway and the entire dept should hand their notice in on the same day, just to fuck them over like they have with you.
