How many of us out of work

have been made redundant twice before when i was in the engineering trade , been windowcleaning for 17 years then got a second job to help me through the winter but i've just been laid off from that so just relying on the windows

Just for you, every time I come across a pile of dog s**t in the street,I'll throw it at a window.

As an apprentice I'm relatively safe (low cost tokeep and generally quite useful to have around).

To rub it in further I used up all my holiday so i only have to work 9 days next month.

*SMUG*

I am more worried for her than she is I think .... I will pay her bills for her til she finds something if Woolies closes ... she'd do the same for me.

i never thought woolies would go into administration in a million years, just goes to show. the high street will never be the same again. my earliest childhood memory is shopping in woollies. shocking news, hope your mums okay shelly.

Completely different to the apprentices at my work, they're f**king useless

Well they're finally sending me to college (after ten months!) so they must have plans to keep me around.

oh and I make a good cup of tea, which helps.

I'm safe in my apprenticeship for this week at least, but whenever I get my results (which should be very soon) if I have passed, I will most likely get paid off. That's what happened to the other apprentices; they pay them off then take them back on straight away to save having to pay them loads when they do finally want rid of them.

But I don't know if I will be taken back on like the others. The boss really hates me and we don't have much work just now

5 being laid off in our office of sixteen... management say they havent made a decision as such but as one of the last in i am bricking myself... monday is D day. the way things look.... i'm pretty much farked right now! no redundancy payout heading my way either as i been there less than two years....


so anyone want to adopt me, my dog and my sv???

At present safe for the next 9 months, but as My Rail company isgoing through the refrancise bit, unless my present company wins dont know what will happen

This thread is rather depressing.

I work in the Gambling sector, and it's rather saddening to think that our company profits were up recently.

I feel for you all.

If uoi've been there over a year you are entitled to something. My Aunt works in HR and deals with stuff like this all the time (although a fair bit more recently).
