Bloody Credit Crunch

[Ken_A]

Any one else feeling the pinch-

I was given my notice on Friday and this is my last week.
The wife went into work today to find the recievers where 'in', She has no job from Monday.

Looking on the paper for jobs and there is one single page with 6 jobs in it!!! I cannie believe it.

Times are not good.

Sorry to hear that, it sounds a bit tough. Hope you find a new job soon.

Good luck with the job hunting.

Nightmare Ken, I hope you find a job quick.

Bad luck Ken, what sort of work are you in, have you anything sorted yet?
jobs4ni and the telegraph online (loadsajobs)would be a good bet, if youre in techy stuff vanrath are a good start too.

Ken - sorry to hear this. If I remember correctly your career choice is housing / Construction related ?( as is mine). We always seem to the first to feel the pain when times get hard unfortunately. I wish you the best of luck in your search for an alternative.

Bad luck Ken.

Hope you and the mrs find something soon been through redundancy once before and it's not nice by any stretch of the imagination.

Good luck in finding something soon

Sadly, the majority of the "cream" to be had in construction is lapped up by the funders, developers and sellers. Us poor saps who actually drag buildings out of the ground find things much less "creamy" even in the boom times. What is happening now is that the cats are cutting back on their consumption and it's the cows and the milkmen that are really suffering.

Good luck in your job hunt. Know exactly how you feel as went through the same myself in June and my wife went through it a few years ago. She turned up at work to be met by security guards who took possession of all company cars, phones, laptops etc then issued each person with £10.00 to find their way home.

That's crap. Happened to me 3 1/2 years ago, and I'm kinda expecting it soon at my current work place, unless someone buys the buiness quickly.

 

[Herbie]

My sympathy for anyone in your situation, good luck.

Sorry to hear, Ken_A.

Things will get better, believe me. I'm struggling to find work but I know deep down something will turn up. One way or another.
