Staring redundancy in the face .....

[letmetalktomark]

Ho hum.

Through no fault of my own and with very little that can be done about it I find myself with redundancy on the horizon.

Never ideal.

Still a drawn out process to go through to have it confirmed but things look half full.

I know a lot of folk have been through this recently so this isn't a plea or to show I am special just an opportunity to vent.

On the upside may get more time to ride

Ho hum.

Really gutted for you Mark.

Keep your chin up fella.

Lot of it about..........my wife had a job within the NHS and was booted with others a week before xmas last......she is not taking it well, even though i bought her a bike to escape on

I have my last day at work today, I will be unemployed tomorrow. Not easy but we have these things to face. If there is anything you need to talk over PM me, I have been redundent a few times.

I don't hold out much hope for my company either, I guess most folks feel the same right now.

I'm trying to sort out an internet venture for my future, but I have to learn stuff, partner with someone or hire help, I don't know where to start right now.

The recession may for folks to go it alone in some way I guess. That said, I don't know who has any money to pay those folks.

Definitely a few people going through this at the moment. I 'escaped' the first round of local government culls, but with nearly the same amount of money to be saved next year (12/13) they'll unfortunately be more going. Got a restructure meeting tomorrow afternoon, which seems to be an annual thing.

Hope things work out for all facing redundancy.

It's strange as some areas are booming at the moment. A local tyre/car part place I use for courier-ing things now have six collections a day from City Link posting things out to customers!

Probably people DIY'ing their car repairs, the garages will suffer.

Hi Mark!

Chin up. As you know, I've been through it twice in a row and it was a git but we got by.
