Redundancy
« on: 30 March 2010, 05:15:18 »
I had my proper interview for my job which has been retitled basically on friday and i got a right grilling off the national contracts manager.All the questions he asked i answered as best as i could,seeing as they all related to dayshift and i only work nights  :-? and so when i talked to the other lads asking how their interviews went only my best mate had the same type of interview whilst the other 4 claimed to have only been asked a couple of questions and that their interviews only lasted 5 mins whilst mine and my mates lasted nearly half an hour  :-? ..... So i reckon that i must be 1 of those that has been chosen for redundancy as i`m just 2 months shy of 2 years here and they wont have to pay me any redundancy..... Ah well if it happens it happens i`ll just have to and sign on and look for agency work driving or sumat..... :(

Why spend an hour grilling you to get rid of you, and 5 mins to keep someone else.

Doesnt make sence.

Stay possitive till you know onw way or the other.

As Gaffers and the others have said, chin up matey.  :y

I feel for you Bertie, I was made redundant pretty much a year ago and fully understand how you feel at the moment...

Fingers crossed for you, it is an awful time waiting.
I have been made redundant, but the worse thing was having to make five of my staff out of 25 redundant. It is a thankless task deciding who, and then breaking the news, all I could do was do it quickly all at the same time, and then set up support for them.

Me neither. The whole process stinks from where I'm sitting. :-/

Someone needs to take them to task, armed with some representation, IMHO.

Yes does sound a bit strange. Know what you mean about your wife too; we do tend to worry about our partners, especially if things are up in the air, and then they worry that we worry ...... nightmare!
Hang in there pal, and hang on to each other  :y
