Redundancy Merry Go Round Again

[LipolyGone]

Just had my 1st consultation meeting of the latest round of another redundancy period at work my 5th one in 9 years with this company.
To say the atmosphere is bad here would be an understatement.
Aparently im worth £3600 in redundancy pay if I wish to take voluntary, not taking Severance pay in leu of notice into account.
I have been in a good position the last 4 times but have a bad feeling about this one. Think its more worrying because there are only 29 of us at risk & 12 jobs are going thats crap odds at any bookies.

I'm a cnc turner in a rolls royce aproved engineering company in the Southwest.
All the works gone to China so they say, some of it was due to come back to us but the sneaky chineese have over produced on their components by 2 years so weve been left in the lurch for work. Most of our work is for the defence industry so thats drying up qucker than a Nuns nether region with this Governments lack of interest in defending our territories. Might be time to get out & retrain but god only knows what in.

Good Luck Mart, I appreciate how you're feeling in these bad times. Both my husband and I were under threat of redundancy back last October and unfortunatley my husband will be leaving the local authority at the end of March. Ironically, all his work will be split between the three remaining Managers, me being one of them. He gets the elbow and I get to do his work. Gr!!!

Good luck Martin, keeping my fingers crossed for you

[Ross Northcott]

Shit Martin that aint good, but on the plus side you have been through this 4 times before so they must think highly of you to have kept you over other workers in the past.
Hope it all works out, just as you were getting right back into your flying as well.

Good luck Mart but I'm sure you must be highly regarded as you've been there before and been chosen ;)

Best of luck Martin. Hope it all works out for you.
