MrAngry Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I arrived at work tonight to discover that they are closing the office I work at, and as a result we are all being made redundant as of September Just when you think things are going smoothly something jumps up and bites you in the balls. I am hoping that I can persuade them to let me go and work in the Houston office as that is where our customers are being transferred to. Isn't life just great.

Homer Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Thats really sucks Hope it works out for you in the end mate. I've been in this situation before when the company I work for (HP) announced 20,000 odd redundancies a few years ago, I survived that but have had no pay rises since (Neither has 98% of the workforce here for the past few years). Couple of weeks ago they announce another 15,000 more people will be cut and no more pay rises for the foreseeable future. So many depressed people round here it's unbearable! The only way to go is to be self-employed these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Really sorry to hear this! Hope something MUCH bigger and better comes up for you! Do you mean Houston, Texas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAngry Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 Thanks for all the good wishes folks. Yes Jenny our other office is Houston, Texas there is a possibility that they may take one of us there so that it keeps some continuity for the existing customers. As it stands, as I am the only one with no ties in the UK, I am probably best placed to move out there. Which I don't mind I have been there a few times and like it. We will see, I am in the process of calling friends who work in the industry to let them know I am going to be available. It is more difficult as my work is so specialised. But who knows I am sure something will come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 ... as I am the only one with no ties in the UK, I am probably best placed to move out there. So you would ship the Supe out there! It is more difficult as my work is so specialised. Can I ask what you do? Good luck and hope it all works out anyway; keep us posted!

klump Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Sorry to hear the news mate, hope things work out for you one way or other. Just make sure you keep that soop going !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAngry Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 So you would ship the Supe out there! Can I ask what you do? Good luck and hope it all works out anyway; keep us posted! No I would sell this one, and buy one out there. It would be much easier that way. I work for a Flight Operations / Flight planning company. The type of work that I am doing at the moment is only done by a couple of companies worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
