Default Oh...

YEAH!!!



Just won a tender worth almost £40k at work, will mean the survey team (me and the boss) are going to exceed our (optimistic) profit forecast for the financial year, just doing the work we do before the end of the year. Job is secure after a shaky summer...

Woooooo

That's all

And I used to think we were lucky to win 1 job a year a few years ago. Our parent organisation wanted to shut us down. Sacked all our engineers and wanted us to be a sales only office. Damm, we thwarted that when we only got 3 jobs within weeks of them reducing the headcount from 600 to 70

Cheers all, awesome indeed!!!

Binky, It won't mean any immediate extra cash for me but it will stop the "4 day week" sword of Damocles that's been looming since July and should mean the end of year bonus arrives and also add serious weight to the case for the pay rise I should have really got this year (company froze all wages for every employee, which i understand, but I should have been on ~10% more than I was for the last year or so according to the boss man)

@Tim - we had a similar situation back in June, MD visited the office and basically said we'd have to consider a 4 day week unless the work came in, we'd been quiet as anything for the previous two months but all of a sudden we got several big jobs come in at the same time so managed to float for a while longer

Work starts tomorrow, gonna be BnB breakfasts for the next couple of months
