Taking into account mclaren are building a new factory and we have now launched the new car with thousands of people already wanting to place orders for it we assumed that everything was going to be good for the future of our jobs etc.

Well on wednesday we got a surprise meeting to tell us that due to the SLR finishing production in dec and the fact that no factory is as of yet built for the MP4-12C to be built it their gonna have to make 18 people in the paintshop and assembly line redundant

Worrying times as the gf is at college and most of my wages go towards the mortgage etc, just got to hope ive done enough over the last 4 1/2yrs to make me working being kept on!!

In hindsite its only a small amount, think theres just short of 100 people working in both departments but still a big shock for all of us.
