Redundancy!

[Chrislong]

What a fucka of a day. Being made redundant.

Anybody any ideas? need work asap.

Sorry to hear that Chris - I've been made redundant 3 times in the past and it's always a shitter.

[blitzboy]

wow sorry to hear it mate

[footey]

sorry to hear that chris but depends how long you have been there depends on the payment u get my dad just been made it and got 25 grand

[Chrislong]

I joined the company at 16, in 1996. I have 4 months notice period.

To be honest, im glad to be out of the company, they're making bad decisions, have made loads in the past and are continuein to do so and they're not listening to management.

I just hope I can find something quickly

your best bet is to make an appointment with your local bennefits office, and see what advice they can give, but don't expect to find any 'good' jobs there, depending on your age, you may well be entitled to re-training courses too.

Otherwise, time to scour the papers etc

[Chris Doughty]

Sorry to hear that Chris, what is your field of expertise?

[Chrislong]

I do Import & Export and my qualifications are with Institute of Export - which covers Sales, Economics, Accountancy and Logistics. My title was Logistics & Despatch Manager.

Sorry to hear it Chris, only advice I can give it to get registered anywhere you can, agencies/websites etc then look into anything you see come up!

Im not in the mood to laugh Ash, any serious suggestions?

[Doomanic]

Ash, don't be a cnut all your life, take a day off.

[DCM]

register with these online CV places, scour the times etc, at least being made redundant and not electing redundancy will allow you access to your mortgage protection....

[Gaz_Stanton]

Ash, that couldn't be in any worse taste!

Chris don't panic, 4 months is plenty of time to get sorted. There is work out there if you look for it.
I had all this crap last month as there were big changes to the aircraft I was working on (can't disclose any more) and the work now doesn't need doing. (i would've been on 2 wks notice as limited company now...)
Had to look at all options just in case and there is work out there. PM me if you want any links/agencies/contacts etc.

[Chaz]

Ring around everywhere mate. Maybe you could ask ASDA or Tesco's for one of their managing positions??? They seem to be building a few new ones up everywhere in the country? Other than that put your CV on one of those online job searcher/finder websites......I know how it feels to get made redundant mate. I got made redundant about 3 months ago. Was lucky in the fact that i found a company that took me on and have been in work since (plumbing)....but now there's the possibility i might get made redundant again Then again in 4 months time the work might pick up again and everything might be ok......

[Southwell]

Unlucky dude, that really sucks.

Im registered with www.jobsite.co.uk and get daily emails, they seem to have a lot of vacancies on their site.

HTH

[telboy]

I registered with Ozzle and I get jobs sent to me every month....I just don't have the qualifications for most of them.

Good luck dood. Sure you'll find something.
