Well arrived at work this morning as usual.... We knew we were having a presentation delivered by our Ops Director at 1-00 pm this afternoon...... I was called in to see the Engineering Manager and HR at 10-15..... Upshot is, I'm being made redundant and am on a 30 day consultation period....... Oh well I can't grumble after giving 27 years of my life to the industry........ |
| lordedmond:
Sorry for your news there John 27 years is the same I did with NatWest in the engineering dept Is your 30 days the same as three months gardening leave They do not want you at work so three months paid leave Hope you have a good deal from them , but it does not replace the job Hope things go well for you , I have not had a job for 17 years but I have no regrets Stuart |
| John Rudd:
Stuart, thanks... From what I understand, they help me secure another job (same salary grade etc) within the company (Centrica is quite big....) but if that doesn't happen after the period, then I'm officially out.... From sympathetic sources, I ought to receive something like two years salary plus my pension..... Gimme the money....lol :) |

John, I took voluntary redundancy 5 years ago after 38 years doing basically the same job. I was 57 then and took the redundancy payout and the lump sum from my pension. I've not regretted it for a second. People will tell you that once you've retired you'll wonder how you ever found time to go out to work. It's true! Good luck. Phil |
| lordedmond:
All I can say I agree with Phil how did I find time to go to work I got my index linked final salary and a pay out in six figures ( not including the two after the dot ) If you want a job then I hope they can sort you out Stuart |
