Bugger! Know how you feel though. Been sitting here for the past 4 months waiting for the axe to fall over my head. At least it will be short notice for you.

That suck's Matt - fingers crossed it's the "as we're loosing a few people, I need to you do x, y and z tasks inaddition to your current role" type meeting.

I'm at RBS Insurance, where the remaiing 2000 jobs are to go. Theyre talking outsourcing non customer facing jobs to India, and reckon some 12% of the workforce in the insurance arm have to go. As one of the smaller offices, it's forseeable that we could be one of them to go....

Feel for you mate!

Which office are you in JuJu - Alton?

Juju · 11-05-10, 05:07 PM

I notionally got a job at Directline in Croydon. When I started 8 years ago, RBS hadn't really got too involved in running Directline. There were about 7 DL offices in Croydon. NOw I think there's two. And this building is 1/3 empty. All the big offices and jobs that have been aquired are places like Leeds, Liverpool, Doncaster, and places frankly cheaper than Croydon. There is space at the old Churchill Head office in Bromley, but that's an arce to get to. Wait and see I guess.

I work in the claims dept (motor pi). Still pretty much exclusively for DL, so it was irony to be bumped off a couple of weeks ago by a DL driver!

Sorry to hear that mate

Ah Matt, that's horrible news but try not to worry about tomorrow yet. If it's only you that's been called by phne into a meeting, you may be being drafted in to assist with it all. If you've been there a fair while, which it sounds like you have, there will no doubt be lots of other employees that will be much cheaper for them to pay redundancy to then you.

Whatever happens, you know where we are if you fancy a break. Keep as psitive as you can and update your CV just in case.

Big hugs to you and Anita x
