Gizza Job
I have just been 'invited' to a meeting tomorrow (over the phone) with one of our Senior Managers to discuss the impact of yesterday's announcement of 600 RBS head office jobs to be cut - looks like mine will be one of them
 Sadly I am not one of the (b)ankers that get mega-bonuses, and my salary, even after 22 years, is a lot less than my age. I have calculated my redundancy package and it would only repay about 1/3 of my mortgage, which sucks. However, as my mortgage is also with RBS then quite tempted just to say  .At the age of 40 the thought of having to start again is not good, especially as my wife is out of work at the moment.

Crap news bud, but, and as David Essex once sang "Every Clouds got a Silver Line in"
Hope you have good news tomorrow.

Re: Gizza Job
Hey MattSV,
Sorry to read that you are facing an uncertain time. I know how demoralizing it can feel, but you will get through. Good luck and don't give up hope. XXX

I think tomorrow will be the start of the 'consultation period' - likely outcome from tomorrow I think will be - "We need to lose X staff from your grade, if you want to apply for voluntary redundancy your options are...., if not then we will tell you in a month whether you still have a job or not..."

Re: Gizza Job
That sucks. Just been through something similar myself. Hope it works out ok. Still could be worse, you could have a bike with blue or even a red seat on it
