It must be something in the wind just now. Read Stuart's post yesterday and thought, oh no not another one.
Sorry to hear that mate and fingers crossed something turns up very soon for you.
I was told last Monday that I was in danger of being made redundant and the consulatation process was in progress. Knowing the machinations of the firm I knew it was a done deal and between my wife and I we just agreed to waive that part of the process and progress straight to redundancy. I have still to get my final settlement figures but am leaving at the end of the month.
A bit like Stuart I was previously self employed, in fact my current employers bought over my business almost 10 years ago.
That will be an option for me again but will be looking at all possibilities first.
My first thoughts of why me ? have gone and am looking forward to facing the future with a positive attitude. First time this has happened to me or anyone in my direct family to it is taking a little to get used to it. I have a few days holiday to use before the end of the month and am being paid in lieu of notice. That salary payment and redundancy money helps cushion the blow in the short term, just hope that there is some work out there.
It is symptomatic of the current economic climate that hardly a few days go by but you hear about someone else being paid off
.
My official title is Architectural Technologist, which sounds quite grand but basically I prepare Architectural Drawings for all types of domestic and commercial projects as well as offering advice on all construction projects.
