Tango Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Redundancies at work. f**k f**k f**k f**k. Hope I'm safe.Hope you come out OK Rach......horrible time this......been there before and I know the stress you're under.......good luck.... Quote
Tango Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Hey Lou.......there's a saying...."you can chose your friends......but you're stuck with your family"..... Luckily I have a really nice family......I just don't see enough of them really as most of them live down in Kent..... Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Like the daffodil photo Lou - Your one hell of a diverse person with loads of talent. Don't let others get you down, even if they are family!Look to your friends - They won't be so shitty!(at least I won't). Quote
BikerMooFromMars Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Look to your friends - They won't be so shitty!(at least I won't).D'aww *massive hug*! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-hug008.gif . How is your back btw? When are you back on the bike? Does this mean I'm unlikely to have a Goggy pillion ride again? I'm glad I managed to have one at least, hope your back improves lovely, sad not seeing you on the Bandit.Tango - most of my fam in Kentishness too (Bromley and St Mary's Cray), I'm visiting more than usual cos of gdad being unwell. So nice to see them more. I still prefer Cambridge too much to feel tempted to mooooove though, tho dad always asks me to. Quote
acting_strange Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Redundancies at work. f**k f**k f**k f**k. Hope I'm safe. Im redundant as of this Friday..sigh....here we go again... Quote
Tango Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Damn, Derek......did you get any notice or did they just spring it on you?..... Anything in the pipeline mate? Quote
acting_strange Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Damn, Derek......did you get any notice or did they just spring it on you?..... Anything in the pipeline mate? They made us all redundant then said we could apply for our jobs back at a loss of £7000 pa to myself...and more to others who had been there longer....in a three year period they reduced my wages by £9000 so I didn't bother applying...Thats education for you Quote
Bonniebird Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 That doesn't sound like 'redundancy' to me! Quote
BikerMooFromMars Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Holy poop, really sorry to hear that Derek, hope you find something better - you never know x Quote
mattycoops43 Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Yeah, that sucks rotten eggs! Hope you AND Rach get something sorted without too much delay.Personally think good on you for telling them to shove the whole reapply thing, takes the mick, reapply for a job you have proven yourself in for lower pay and worse conditions. My dad has to do it every year but is retiring this year so not bothered. Quote
Gin Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Awww mate I am So sorry to hear this I have all digits crossed for some luck your way.. Wish I could help out more.. Quote
acting_strange Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 That doesn't sound like 'redundancy' to me! Its what they can get away with legally....If I hadn't had fought my corner they would have just sacked me so I wouldn't have even got the small amount of compensation they finally offered... Quote

nman1 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Max Wall used to be a funny bloke, but by today`s standards I can see how the younger generation does think this looks a little daft. Quote
puggybear Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I saw Max live twice-I can tell yerz,the timing he had was perfect-and he was bloody hilarious,too.Now-what did I com..ah,yes....A tale of light shining through the unemployment darkness.....My mate's son [17] has been told he has to go on a course learning to write his CV,or lose any entitlement to JSA. He left school this summer,having completed exams,etc. He's SO pissed off;his actual words were,"Everyone and their dog has a Ph D in unemployment,today".So he and a lad he was doing his exams with printed off some cards offering to do gardening/general handyman stuff,around this local area. He's had work FLOOD in-seriously,he's so busy he's getting home at 7/8pm. The thing is,'word of mouth' re the standard of his work is bringing him more work.His dad and I went to buy an old petrol rotavator one week ago-and already he's working on allotments,doing the prep work for Autumn planting,plus the gardening work,etc.So,6 'A' levels-and he's earning his wage by digging. [Not to everyone's taste,I know]But proof that if you don't give in,the light WILL break through.... Quote
Gin Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 You always talk to much sence Puggy.. Was about to post about how I'm fed up with my luck at the moment but after that last line about not giving up has given me the thump on the head I needed this morning.. Just got to fight harder against it.. Thanks Puggy x Quote
