View Full Version : Happy New Year Present
Well had yesterday off to drive my Father in law back to Manchester and so today was my first day back at work
It lasted 2 hours as I was made redundant :(
So that put a bit of a downer on the day.
Had to come home and tell the good lady wife and the kids that all plans were gonna have to be put on hold and that belts and braces were going to need to be tightened
I just bought a new TV last week (£700 LCD)which now looks like a very silly purchase!!!!
So have now started updating the CV and looking at the market place (although not the right time of the year I suppose)
Looks like I will just have to have an "Imagination Disney Vacation" this year as they would say in the Simpssons
DOH!!!!
I am so sorry to hear your news[grouphug]
I have a son and indirectly my DH work in recruitment and its quite a good time of year for changing jobs and careers so maybe the cloud may have a silver lining[msnsmile2]
Good luck!
Sorry to hear your bad news Vince, chin up and hopefully this could be the start of a great new life and career for you. Fingers crossed that something much better turns up for you real soon.

Dont think to pesimistic. all decisions can be turned to the good. If you really want to take the TV back, ask if you can. you should have a 14 day money back satisfaction anyway.
When is your holiday, you may well have another job position before you have to make a decision to cancel any holiday plans if you made any.
What a rough start to the new year and a horrible shock for you all Vince. Although I'm sure it wont seem like it at the moment, as Karen and Julie say, this could well be a blessing in disguise and the start of something bigger and better for you. Good luck [grouphug]
so sorry to hear your news Vince, wishing you all the best for the future [grouphug]

Sorry to hear your news.
I'm responsible for recruitment at my firm and find that January is actually quite a busy time, so you shouldn't feel that it's a lost cause.
I hope you find something soon, keep thinking positive.

Sorry to hear your news, did you have an inclination it was going to happen? Always a shock none the less.
You never know perhaps one of the OV family may be able to help?

Good Luck searching for a new job Vince. I am a believer in fate and think everything happens for a reason, maybe a job more deserving of you is right around the corner.
Sorry to hear your news, but hopefully something good will come your way soon.

Sorry to hear about your job, having been made redundant in the past myself I know the feeling.
Hope that something turns up for you very soon and 2008 gets better for you and your family.
What a bummer- hope it brings better work for you -as long as you have your health, nothing more is important in the grand scheme of things
Thanks for your kind words and messages
Have updated the CV and got it out there now just have to cross my fingers!!
Good luck Vince, that's the spirit:)

exact same thing happened last year to my husband - so we took 3 months off and went to florida - okay could have sulked in the uk.... anyway on our last day there - a friend arranged an appointment with a guy in the UK - bingo - new job - totally different field - and he is now a happy man!! So look for that silver lining - cos it will turn up!!!! just maybe not where you expect it - PS it was friend we made in florida - what a great guy!!! Gwen
