Sorry to hear, company I work for is in a pretty dire state at the moment so can't see us lasting much longer. :'(
 So, what next......full time Omega/train technician? ::)

Sorry to hear that Mark.

I hope it's not all the strikes and rumours of strikes from the great UK that's got them on the run. ::)

I've barely had any work in the last 12 months.  The last thing I need is more talent flooding the queues!

Bloody hell Mark sorry to hear this news....

My brother in law is just going through the same thing for the 3rd time in 2 years and it doesnt get easier with practice.....

If you're going into full time mechanicking (is that a word.....??) then I have plenty of business for you Sir....!!

Seriously though, best wishes and hope things work out mate

Cheers

Martyn

Aw, crap. Sorry to hear your news Mark. Out of the blue as well, going by the article?

Hopefully though, you will have time to look around by the summer, if i read it correctly?

Brings it home how lucky we have been here. Our trade being seasonal is only just coming to the crunch period. But even so, we are all being very well behaved. Even me, mostly. :-)

As said, just shout. :-)

Fairly out of the blue, I did have a few hints last week.

Going to screw the optical portfolio for the company (both DWDM and L2)

Sorry to hear your news Mark  :'(



The shortsighted method of generating growth in the last 3 or 4 years (by slashing costs with a short term view) rather than generating true growth does seem to be common across many large companies now.

Really sorry to hear this Mark. It would be easy to say a man of your talents will have no trouble finding work, and that's probably true. But it's still a kick in the 'dangle berries' and I hope it works out for you.

Best of luck when you start your job hunt!  ;)
As said though, I'm sure a man of your talents & calibre should be sorted sooner rather tha later.  :y  :y  :y
