Well for me it isnt.
Some of you may remember I lost my job a couple of months ago.
Anyway, I found a new job and been here for 2 weeks and they have just gone bust
Oh well, time to look again
I am very lucky that my career field options are wide.

Credit crunch or recession?
I've just got a £110k business loan - so credit is out there!

They will! Just wait till it costs £100 for a packet of crisps and the currency is worthless though.

I was made redundant last year, was tough for a while but a former customer of the company made up some work then I got contract role and am on 1.5 times what I made before... Not worried about the short term nature of contracting as it seems permanent is just a layoff away from contract.

That thread was just a way of maniplulating me into a position of his choice to make trouble..nothing else.
The guy doesnt want a resolution and in fact is ignoring all my messages and has stated publically that he doesnt want to deal direct with me to resolve it.
He has all my contact details or failing that PM's on here.
I am taking the position that as I have no legal need to pay him anything but have made an offer as a good will gesture given the circulmstances that he will not respond too, there is nothing more I can or will do.
