bad news pal,it is getting better though near me a place just took on 150 people back after they finished 500 and our place phoned me yesterday 20 back from 250 thinks are moving up slowly this is construction machinery trade in sweden
that beginning of 2009 was a shitter but it is soon going to explode with work again everywhere
i was talking to a bloke whom is in the forest trade,,i.e trees for paper and they got hit first in 2008, as he said all over the world the forestry industry gets hit first,now they are back to normal which shows the economy is slowly getting back up

they did the points thing with me aswell - its no win situation and is all fabricated to get you out. Funny thing is after i go tmade redundant they advertised my job after 3 weeks

best thing i ever did was leave that shite place.

Just talking to bro's mrs as she works in HR and they just paid off 22 people in her place and half of those were people they didnt want some fudged the figures to get them out!
