Just had a call from a good mate at work and it’s started Work has closed three depots with more to come They’ve all been given redundancy but feck knows if they’ll find jobs with everything that’s going on I’ve been expecting this and I’m also expecting to find myself in the firing line as there’s been plenty of warning signs well before this Covid shit show started If I get canned I’ll be looking for part time work if I can find something Not heard anything yet but wouldn’t be at all surprised if I get a phone call in the not to distant future
Sorry to hear this mate but as you say it was expected and its going to be widespread for sure, soon as business's need to contribute to worker's wages the shit was always ganna hit the fan, Just keep ya heed doon marra and get as long as you can out of it.
wish you well on this Dilli, its no consolation but I think this is going to be a regular thing for some time to come, take care pal.
Crap! - Sorry to hear this Dilli. I hope you have some good luck either not getting laid off, or finding another job.
That's shit news mate I think companies will start laying people off as soon as the Government stop paying the bill, I am really quite concerned about where this will go to be honest, already predictions of a recession worse than anything we have ever seen before.
Two of the larger employers in our area have announced plans to make redundancies. One, a customer of ours, have said 80ish from a staff of around 240, the other, a similar number from approx 160. Both primarily Aerospace industry. Certainly seems to me that they are obviously facing difficulties at the moment, but also that they don't see things recovering to pre-covid levels anytime soon. Tough times ahead for sure, we're not going to see the full effect for 18-24 months, maybe more.
Well, that always sucks. I'm afraid this is just getting started, all around this sick world of ours. Keep your chin up, Whenever this has happened to me, it always turns out my next job was better!
Yeh that's the way to go @dilligaf , off with the beard and on with the whistle and flute, I wouldn't employ anybody with a beard like that, sends out the totally wrong message
Tough stuff mate, hope you find other work soon if it happens . You might have to sell your shares in JD
MAYBE AN OFFICIAL SAUSAGE TASTER FOR GREGGS. BY THE LOOKS OF HIS SHIRT HE'S SALIVATING AT THE THOUGHT OF IT.
Gunning for you dilligaf .....hope you don't get that call! Good friend of mine had to call it a day here in Greece with a restaurant....I'll try to help him out by taking him gardening with me....all I can do is send you positive vibes bud
Sorry to hear that mate. Let's hope that if does happen you can find something else. Stay positive mate....
Maybe they may move you up and you could be offered an office job within the company. Daint worry I'd still talk to you
