ISn't there some legal minimum consultation period that's required before you can tell people they're redundant
|
got a temp contract position lined up fingers crossed and also a line on a few possible perminent positions, but im just bricking it, just signed a new 1 year contract on the house we rent, also got other bills and worst case is def not a good.
think the worst bit is not knowing, rather just be told on wedm, no warnign or anything, saves worrying about what ifs :( |

dont panic mate.
if the inevitable does happen, it might be a blessing in disguise and you move on to better things. i know it doesn't stop the worry, but it "IS" out of you hands and you'll have to ride the wave. i hope it goes well for you and have fingers crossed!!! :) |

failing that, go to a phone box and speak to your sales dept, pretending to be a prosective customer, and say you've got a big contract that requires lots of structural engineering. ;)

yep im in the same boat, end of last year found out wife was pregnant with our first, next day find out I am being made redundant at the end of jan 09. Wife on maternity gets called into a meeting the other day. High probability she is going to be made redundant as well (will find out in sept after consultation process)

Not good mate, but dont let it drag your health down too.
Fingers crossed for you, even if it is the worst news im sure something will come up soon. Especially with the building boom that seems to be going on. |

Excuse me for not being actually in the building trade, just an observation, and a little better than saying "oh bad luck, crap game to be in in this day and age with the housing crash and all" :) *zips it again |

Sorry to hear that Tidgy and Gazza, sincerely hope you don't get made redundant, and if you do, then hopefully you'll be back in work soon.
|
My firm laid of 15% of the workforce in Jan/Feb! My department was about the only one not affected, but you never know when the next round will come.
|
I'm sick of getting put out of work this year due to the hosuing crash, I hope it picks up soon :)
|
thansk for the words folks, they do help :d
