Simon Hall Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 My wife was made redundant yesterday - thank you very much Mr Brown for the lovely recession. Apparantly we're coming out of it, but it appears it's getting worse. In the last month I've been made redundant, so has my Dad, my wife's cousin, and two of my mates.

Haloman Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 It's now 38.2 C, it dropped to 21 C during the night and the maximum recorded temp in the past 24 hours was 48 C. Today looks like it will be hotter, so we are expecting 50 C plus today. Well, at least I'm not going to freeze to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. I think a lot of people on here have been affected. The company my wife worked for has been around since 1862, things not looking good for them.

ckn Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Sorry to hear that. I think a lot of people on here have been affected. The company my wife worked for has been around since 1862, things not looking good for them. It's a strange situation just now. Many business-to-business supply companies are being hit hard as their clients look to cut costs everywhere just in case there is a double-dip recession. About half of my work this year so far has been cost cutting consultancy with the general remit given of achieving 20%-40% cuts to certain budgets (saving 40% of a company's IT budget is nasty work usually always involving redundancies and genuine loss of service to the business), some clients accept that they need to keep their employees to help them build out of a recession, many though are so desperate that even key workers are being considered as part of the cuts. It's risky stuff and sometimes the cuts have come too late to stop the banks pulling their overdrafts. The other half of my work is new service stuff for companies that are in rude health having made heavy cuts in the last few years and reaping the market where there are fewer competitors. Banks in particular are having a whale of a time having made huge cuts, increased prices (interest rates mainly) and a captive market with nowhere else to go as they all charge much and much alike. The first sniff of a business in trouble though and they're very happy to drive them to insolvency. On the job front, I've kept an eye on the IT job market for years now out of interest and still keep an eye out now even though I'm self-employed. In 2002, the Jobserve daily mailshot I receive (excel file containing all new IT jobs that day) had about 6000-7000 jobs per day, in 2008 that was down to about 2000-2500, in the last few months that's gone up to about 4000-4500 (last night's was 4876 jobs) with the proportion of contract and permanent jobs sliding heavily towards the permanent jobs. To me, this means the employment market is opening up at last with companies far more willing to hire employees rather than contractors.

saintsbird Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 There are some sights though that I dont need to see but unfortunately I have the last few days. For example if a man / lad has his top off there should be a law that he is attractive & not a "scrote" as I have had the misfortune of seeing And before anyone says I know I live in St Helens & work in Warrington.....Is it any wonder I am single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
