just had an anouncment at work saying that due to the economic climite, there will be reducing the work force from 139 people down 96, this will be the second lot in the last 6 months

 

Sorry to hear this mate, I hope your job remains safe.

 

me too, hopefully will be, as I am the only person who does what I do, I think this is now the 12th redundency since i have been here, lol

 

what you do mate?

 

im a buyer for an engineering company, but also a time served sheet metal fabricator, engineer etc etc, lol

 

Fingers crossed for you mate, it aint easy being out of work.

Sorry to hear this mate, last year I got made redundant twice

First time was from an Alloy wheel refurbishment company (Manager was an arse that couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery) and the 2nd time was from an Engineering company (The 2 Directors had a massive fight and I was stuck in the middle)

Hope you have better luck than me

 

hope everything goes well for you.

I was made redundant a few weeks back as well.

Dom

 

Fingers crossed Rich. Its a poor time for a lot of firms at the moment.

 

it is and aerospace is really on its arse at the moment

 

28,000 redundancies just announced by my employer :-( And a 5% pay cut (although it's voluntary in the UK).

Although I'm not in the selected area - phew!

 

Bad times - by the sounds of it though you could be lucky, fingers crossed!

 

bloody hell. who do you work for?

 

Hewlett Packard

 

i got made redundant 2weeks ago,lucky my old gaffer took me straight back on,not as good money but he been doing his work for 40years and has seen 1 recession out so im hoping ill be lucky with him.

 

Twellsie-who you work for mate?

Im an Aerospace engineer in Nuneaton myself, been there 23 years,our work also if real real low,my boss anounsed redundencies about 2 month back but has postponed it for the time being as work is trickling in and there is a better out look.

He did say that my job is safe regardless though, which makes me feel , well, nice and warm.
