Awful news ,well to me anyway

Work just told me they are withdrawing my redundancy
There goes the tour
I had to fake a smile.
I'm kinda pleased but its the way theve gone about it.

 

Not sure how to respond to that "happy disappointment" hope all goes well!

 

Better off in the long run, where else would you find a job with the same freedom? Probably just looks worse being stuck at home/work.

 

I agree, I get great holidays and like most of my work colleagues and its really easy to get in.

 

@Lord Congi i feel for you. i had the same last year, got very close but in the end kept my job. Would have been happy to go (and in fact, came very close to putting in a voluntary request) but as others have said, ultimately its a good thing to be in work i guess. One guy who went got a chunk of money, bought a race car, now does contracting on double the money i make. Not jealous at all, noooo..

 

Just the way they handled it, love the co-op I do and felt proper let down.

 

Infact I'm dead chuffed now as loads of people are dead happy for me, gonna have to go out for a few after work

 

I take it your some sort of undertaker...

 

You are obviously worth a great deal to them Dave - they want to keep you! Pleased for you - you will still have loads of time for camping x

 

your really lucky to keep your job and be able to work from a camp site also you'll still keep getting the co-op divy stamps ,win win

 

Look on the bright side
You can afford another one of these suits.

 

Hope it works out either way!

 

S4IT What am I gonna do now !! I only sold my my bay and bought that POXY T4 thing so I could scrape up enough money, Rag it all in for 6 months and tag along tuesday_wildchild Thanks Dave

 

Oh no
Hey get good holidays plus a 2 week sicky, we'll still have good un

 

Got to be good news Dave - pleased for you

 

congrats - in the long run in this day and age its probably for the best. Unfortunately nowadays employers have to put everyone in the same job at risk before deciding ultimately who goes so they can evidence the thought process and outcomes. it does mean that more people have to go through the pain though.

 

Less time for using both busses

 

It is good news for you. You still have a job to bring in the money.

Ask yourself what was the reason for your firms decision to make you redundant and what happened to cause them to change their mind and keep you on.

Do some soul searching about yourself and your skills and learn more about your firm. Look around and find out about the jobs market. Dont just do nothing as its not business as usual. Redundancy may come one day and you must be prepared.

The world of jobs is ever changing and you must do the training courses to keep up to date. I think a lot of the problems with redundancy is folks have been in a job too long, skills are outdated and the employer is too mean to pay for the training. So when redundancy comes, folks are left high and dry and cant get another job. Thats when the employers take on workers from the EU because they have the skills they are now looking for.

I have experienced redundancy for that very reason and it is life changing, mostly for the better in the end. I took a package, spent money on training and went on to do contract work for double the money and I was in control of my life. Never looked back.
