rennie Posted March 7, 2023 Posted March 7, 2023 Good Evening I'm not enjoying this "consultation" period much! getting up at 4am and daytime traffic don't agree with me! No idea how long it's going to go on for before he actually gives us redundancy notice. Then no idea what I'm going to do after that! 2 Quote

Can you 'retire' and then get a part time job nearer home - maybe working from home? Quote

rennie Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Good Afternoon I'm still employed but not enjoying it! We're stripping the factory and scrapping most of it! My furnaces are still intact so far I asked the main man what his plans are for them today, he genuinely doesn't know yet! 4 Quote

My mum has a lovely set of ornate drawer handles that arrived in her kitchen about the same time the receivers were called in to my dad's old factory. It's funny how things seem to go missing when there's a lot of change happening. 3 Quote
