redundancy, due to the current climate.................

[internetstalker]

Glad for you! Understandable mixed emotions about your colleague, but yay for you if you're the one who's been putting in lots of effort!

thankyou!

 

[cesare]

Good news, stalker

 

[mentalchik]

Yes!

Just found out I got the job!!

Can't help but feel for my ex colleague although with mixed emotions

Part of me thinks he has got his comeuppance for being a lazy cunt the last 18 months, all the times I've been sitting there pissed off with him for not pulling his weight

And part of me feels bad, he's a nice bloke and has a mortgage to pay etc

Great news chillibum !


well done you !

 

[scifisam]

Sad for your colleague, but one of you had to get it, so better that it was the person who's been working harder, surely? Congratulations!

"Current economic climate". A little phrase that has been used as an excuse in my place of work for
1. No Christmas Party
2. Not replacing the people who have left recently.
3. No more wearing jeans Mon-Thurs

Message = work harder, faster, longer, or else.

Well - "or else" came quick! Yesterday told that they will be making redundancies - including the poor woman who started two months ago AND the bloke who started last bloody week! Over 10% of the workforce will be looking at redundancy, from a pool of 30% of the company. Including me.

From my desk I can hear the MD laughing and I want to kill him in the face with my mug with the corporate logo ....... smash it against his head and grind all the sharp bits into his eyes ......

La la la la la .....

Just had a meeting with the director

3 people are in our office, but they can only afford to keep 1 of us

2 of us will be given the boot.

oh dear

makes me glad I worked so hard for the last year.

I got made redundent so many times in TV and similar... Now working in therapeutic interventions: a growth market! Get my coat?

We just had an ominous email around about serious pruning of budgets, lack of funds, recruitment freeze etc etc. Given that I am the second shortest-serving member of staff in my team, this worries me.

They've made redundancies in customer services today.... and they are doing 'selection criteria' on everyone else who is affected & we should find out more next week, it's all horrible

[blues]

The third friend in a week is being made redundant - all work in different places but in the same City.

 

[derf]

If I was the gaffer I would look on urban and ask if the OP was on hus lunch break at 12.50 pm.

 

[Radar]

Yawn 1/10, trying waay too hard

 

[MochaSoul]

Well clearly that's going to work, because as we all know, one person can do the work of three if they're scared enough.

... I thought I'd heard something or other about the abolition of slavery

 

[Arik]

Half our staff have been made redundant or conveniently sacked in the past 6 weeks. We've gone from 30 to 15.

I'm still here but now I'm the only researcher left and I'm sitting in an empty pod. It's quiet, lonely, and boring.

*sigh*

 

[samk]

It may be lonely, but otoh they wouldn't lay off the last of anything important

If I were you, I'd request a three way Cage Match, winner takes the remaining job.

 

[Fuzzy]

i got made redundant 6 months ago so fingers crossed it doesnt happen again.

 

[vokey]

Well, I for one and going to act. If anybody has been on the ugly mug thread and likes the look of my girlfriend, I am open to offers. Desperate times call for desperate measures and I promised myself a Wii for Christmas.

£170 for anal with you while your girlfriend watches...

 

[Sadken]

Mister, you got yourself a deal. A very disturbing deal.
