Only a year. Had been really good friends for about 6/7 years and decided to give it a go. Worked really well for about 8-9 months then it just felt like a friendship again to be honest!

Got called at 2 in the morning, drove into work fixed the problem and I'm knackered.
Walk into work and get bombarded by 20 questions from my colleague who for some reason has forgotten the fact that we discussed all this ages ago and she was supposed to sort it out. Shes also forgotten the fact that last time she asked me those questions I emailed her links to all the documentation that I had written, which she still hasnt bothered to read.

Nah, I just told her that was the 4th of 5th time she'd asked me that, and told her to go and read the email I had sent her, she said what email, so I made her search her inbox and said there, that one that I sent two months ago...
Then she looked embarressed and changed the subject, I think I made my point.

Believe it or not 21 in january but he still looks about 12 but i've 12 years olds act more mature than him, he is a propper little goon, if i had my way he'd have been sacked ages ago he cant do anything and shows no willing to learn yet know he keeps going on he wants a payrise, which he'll probably get as he fluffs the forman all day

11-10-10, 01:59 PM

Well its official. Xerox did not win the contract that im currently on and its been awarded to one of our competitors. So this week should prove interesting. Apprently HR are coming down on Friday. Personaly, i dont want to work for the new company, but under TUPE rules, if they apply, then i don't have a choice other than resign something that i think is unfair, but naff all i can do.

So they'll TUPE you across to the company that has won the contract ?
Could be a blessing in disguise, what sort of opportunities are there for the new company or will you be in the same sort of situation you are now ?
Fizz, thats one possibility. To be honest, they are not as big as Xerox, and thier contracts are mostly our old ones.
I know that there could be possibilites within the new company, and that still might be the case, but to date, i havent heard a good thing abotu them, not at my level anyway.
I will have to wait and see, its just the unknown thats the scary thing. If they offer redundancy, then i will break their hand off thats for sure. I just want to get out of this industry if i can, and with a fair few bob in my pocket, it would help. If i do TUPE, over then i will put the gears in motion to seek something elsewhere.

I know how you feel, was scarey in January when they told me my job was at risk. I tried to stay positive about it, but at the end of the day I was just glad I got TUPE'd across. Its given me some time to think about what I want to do next and where. Management here are still talking about us all being transfered across to Southampton, which I am not sure I want to to. Mainly because the impression I have been left with is that they cant organise a p*ss up in a brewery. I'd get a decent lump of redundancy money which might be enough to buy me time to retrain or find another job, but with the job market so depressed due to the recession, theres not alot of work out there.
Like you say just gonna have to wait it out, see what comes along. Not a nice position to be in though.
