just seen my job on the internet.

hmm not sure what to make of it really but i've just seen my job description on the internet! So were not that busy that we need another person and we dont have the space in the office. So im guessing that means that one of us is going? engineering is very poor at the moment so what do i do?

if they make you redundant they cannot re-instate your job for 6 months.

that said if they sack you they can replace you straight away.

not sure what to suggest...

[ophic]

They can't sack someone with no good reason and then employ someone else. I'd speak to your boss about it - it might be a mistake. You might at least get some idea if he's hiding something.

[gettin2dizzy]

What kind of engineering?

[dizzyblonde]

Be caustiously optimistic. It may not mean anything.
Sit tight, I'm sure your worrying about nothing
Go ahead have a look at other jobs available, but you'll be hard pushed. Matts been looking for stuff, graduate engineering jobs have gone from 50 on a website, to nil. Hard times!
Hes having to suffer in a chocolate factory being paid the same wage as his unqualifed Mrs, much to the disappointment of our plans for the year :sad:

is there a date stamp on the job listing? Sometimes the vacancies just sit on the net for years after they've been filled...

failing that, go speak to a supervisor and find out what the score is... have you mentioned it to any of your colleagues? I'd keep a wee bit quiet about it so as not to start fires/cause trouble etc...

Apply for it? :smt102







Sorry :( Hope it works out

[AndyBrad]

is there a date stamp on the vaccancy?

[captainsmelly]

Maybe you're getting a surprise promotion...

[gemma1675]

I am about to start recruiting (not in engineering though sorry). We are waiting for Corporate approval then we will send out the job spec to the recruitment agencies. In the meantime a couple of agencies are aware and they have advertised the job spec we used last time on their websites without our knowledge in order to have candidates ready when we get the go ahead. When I found out I asked them to take the ads down. At this point they are advertising a job which doesn't exist!

My point being that recruitment agencies can be a law unto themselves and this ad may not be what it seems.

You need to speak to your boss.

it cant be a fun time, but I wouldnt go shareing your discovery. Starting an office rebelion may not be the best idea.

[arcdef]

hmmm, id be cautious about saying anything as they could turn round and say oh so your looking for a new job? might not look great with your boss.

Keep a record of what you have found and say nothing until something happens.If you suddenly find yourself looking at getting sacked on some trumped up nonsense produce your evidence which would show conspiracy and prejudice from the employer.Enough to win an employment tribunal I would think.
