Basically got a month to work, but cant see that happening as its garden leave scenario I guess,...

What a load of crock, I built the department up from scratch just over a year ago (from nothing) and now they do this...

Can understand tho really, its a good management decision, as customers are calling up and potentially 3 departments could be the people they want to speak to, so they are amalgamating the 3 depts...

So, Ive been offered another similar job, working for someone who I cant work for (believe) but its also 5K less .. That coupled with the 70 mile round trip and 12 hr days, isnt going to be happening...

I basically work an 1872hr year, do shit loads of hrs in the 1st 1/3rd have summer off, loads 2nd-3rd third and have crimbo off, so if I did 20 hrs I got paid for 35, but also if I did 60 I got paid for 35

Need to find a job ... but will deffo be taking the redundancy package....


Been thinking about starting a courier company

Just dont know at the moment, was only told this morning

 

Stu mate, i was gutted when i spoke to you on the phone this morning. If i can help I will ...your a top guy, youll soon find something pal.

 

Thanks Ian, appreciated

Need sommat to pay for this ZVH money-pit

 

Bad shame, you will land on your feet I am sure

 

oh fuck

hope you sort summat out...a clever(ish) bloke like yourself should be fine though

GOOD LUCK matey

 

a courier service is a good idea , as all the current couriers ive used are shit

 

sorry to hear it Stu, hope something comes along.....soon.

 

shit news mate

Am sure youll find something though

 

Will do

 

Sorry to read here and on msn m8.

I was nearly made redundant (well I was made redundant and managed to secure another job in the same company in the nick of time) and I know how you must be feeling.

Like you, put everything into it, and then, nothing as much as a thank you I am not working anywhere near as hard now.

If I were you, I'd take the other job, bite your lip and bear with it while you find another job... Won't be much fun, but at least you'll be taking some money away in the mean time.

If the package is good, take it and start looking asap.

Good luck Stu, feel for you m8.

 

One of the guys who works for me has a son who is a courier. He had to buy into a franchise but it was relatively cheap (in the grand scheme of things) and he is doing well. He has employed a 2nd person and bought into a 2nd franchise, so there must be a future in it.

Good Luck

 

eh?

That is some cushy shit! I do 2288 as standard! Not to mention coming in on days off and working a few late eves etc!!!!

 

Must of been the day for it, I got made redundant as well.

 

I got the tic tak this morning too

 

been there also - luckily i got offered the job back after two months so was more like a paid holiday

good luck

 

gutted mate

take the other job if you can.

its easier to get a new job when you are already in one.

 

Sorry to hear that Stu

Good luck mate but like everyone has said accept the new job until you find something better so at least the cash is still coming in

 

as others have said, take the other job for the time being
at least you won't be classified as being out of work or "between jobs" on your application forms

i work a 2496 hour year so someones got a cushy little number
