Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....

My two pence worth....
Find another job then burn your bridges at the current place by telling them exactly what you think of them and that they can shove their job right up their arse.

Coz jobs like that are ten a penny in Matlock I guess.

Way to go.

Look, the opportunity to tell them which shelf to stick it on, whilst they're there, doesn't come around very often. I can recall going into one meeting with a certain manager and they were convinced they had me by the bollocks, because I had a sizeable bonus owing, that they needed to pay me (unless I departed). Smug bastard sat their grinning at me with his gaffer in tow. I told them they could stick the bonus on the shelf opposite. Wankers.

Man did it feel good!

Twice in my career an employee has had the pleasure of telling me just how far up my jacksie I could stick his job and that it was the best day of their career as they sailed off to their new employer while I knew we were busy acquiring their new Company.

Now THAT felt good.

Funeral today. Third in three weeks. Todays is a close work colleague and very good friend who battled cancer for 15yrs. I've never known anyone fight so hard for so long. RIP Alan.

pretty sad...

a lovely bloke - friend of mine and member of one of our churches - he's the boss at this firm in Brixham which is now to be closed - with the loss of 71 jobs...

http://www.torquayheraldexpress.co.uk/B ... story.html

he has been fighting tooth and nail to come up with an alternative for three months now, all to no avail... he was on the phone this evening literally in tears - he has had to spend the day telling 71 people that they will lose their jobs with little prospect locally for similar employment...

he's a fab guy and a great boss - so much so that many of the people he had to give the news to today were actually sympathising with him over how hard it must be for him to tell them... it's gutting for him - for them and their families and the town - where Zeneca were probably the largest single employer... (certainly of well-paid work)

his job is safe - but he will probably be relocated out of the south west - where he and his family are well settled, - one of his daughters just starting year one of GCSEs...

anyway - really gutted for him

That's really sad Bish

I suspect, despite claims to the contrary, the full impact of the recession will be biting us for quite a while yet.

That's a damned shame, thebish. Obviously the article to which you linked is limited, but nowhere was it mentioned that the unit was not viable. The impression that I got was that it is now outside the parent company's interests and (probably) an unwanted drain on management resources rather than a drain on finances per se. From the sound of it it's operating in a niche market - a market that needs its expertise. I hope for your friend's sake that some forward thinking company or entrepreneur will turn up and buy the business lock, stock and barrel.

Nice to hear that somebody in the world has common sense HG. Shame for your friend Bish

Just got this week's 'Hot Ticket Update' through from Ticketmaster and the only acts on it that I'm familiar with are Status Quo and Suzanne Vega.

That's good hope you have an excellent time and let those Chelsea rent boys know what you think of them but I will stop short of saying I hope you win.

Where's Vega playing Bruce? Saw her in 89 and she was outstanding. Would be good to see if she has matured well.

Are they touring then? They've a gig at the Roundhouse soon I tried to get our Maud to go with me too (she lives around the corner); she wont have it .

Given how close she is I tried to see what else was on there, and there's feck all. I'm pretty sure only a few years ago there was something most weeks. Shame, coz I love that place.
