My job no longer exists at the end of April. To old to be employed by anyone else, too young to retire!! F--K!

Too old?! You're barely fifty! It's illegal not to employ someone because of their age now you know, except in certain exceptional circumstances. Don't be so negative, old boy. Get on yer bike and find some work  |

Still, being made redundant is no joke - it's unsettling and doesn't exactly do a lot for your self-esteem. Most of us would like to choose when we leave our jobs rather than have the decision made for us by faceless senior managers.
Knowing that you can find something else is little consolation if the alternatives pay less, are less convenient or offer less job satisfaction.
I hope things work out for you BH!

No so depressed now as I was on Friday! Mind you the week end result didn't help. I hope to be able to stay with the company in some Capacity, as I've been displaced rather than made redundant, although the consultation document does mention the dreaded word.
I know I'm not too old, but because of a problem that you are aware of Sal, it would be very difficult to become employed other than with my present company.

I don't remember you mentioning any problem like that  I hope I didn't come across as unsympathetic though- sorry if I did. I was just trying to look on the bright side! I understand it must be VERY stressful for you and sometimes in those situations it's rather annoying when people tell you to buck up... maybe I ought to shut me face  |
