Well, its finally caught up with me...

..been given 6 weeks notice as of today so it looks like I'm unemployed as of the 28th May.
They're looking to cutback and my name was at the top of the list:

1) The first week I used the MD's car park space and he's hated me ever since

2) I'm one of the last in..

3) The net logs have been produced from the last 3 months in 3 A4 ring binders

Last nights logs alone produced 147 A4 pages..!!!!!!!

..I'm not gonna be online in the day as much now 'cos they still have the option to boot me with zero notice..so I'm not gonna push my luck..

If anyone can help with a Sales Management position in any field/or need someone who can Risk Assess please let me know...preferably a job which will allow me to continue on SN...or allow me to work in the field of motor trade/ scooby sales/ accessories etc etc

Oh well toodle-pip I'm off to hang myself

Hope its not going to change your wedding plans or Lotus ownership

Maybe a doorway to something bigger and better.

Best of luck.

Good luck -it'll work out for the best. If you are as good as we believe, then you deserve better. If not, they would have caught up with sooner or later.

Dont let it get you down richard. It's just part of working life these days, you just have to see it as an ocupational hazard to not have an ocupation on occasion.

You have a lot going for you right now. Lovely Fiance, top car, great mates and ginger hair (OK 3 things LOL).

There are tonnes of crappy moments that come in life, you just have to deal with them and make the most of the good stuff!

Been there done that and before you know it you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about! Now get stuck in and dont feel sorry for yourself, because that achieves nothing!

Best of luck finding a new job Rich.

Good luck M8

Sorry to hear that mate - the ONLY consolation is this :-

you're out of that ****-hole, Smethwick!!

I used to work there and I hated every second of it!!!!

Well done.

Just remember that when you leave, perform a nice brown, "walnut whip" in the MD's parking space!!!

See you soon mate.

Similar thing happened to me three weks ago. Unfortunately for me I'm in the Investment Banking industry which is in a crappy way at the moment. Hope you have better look than I am having.
Finers crossed.
