Can't believe it 2nd time i've been made redundant in a year! :( My new job was going really well, got on with everyone, really enjoyed it, been there 7 months just starting to make decent money in commissions. Lunchtime yesterday the MD walks in asks us all to go downstairs as she needs to have "a chat" with us all, get down there and we get introduced to a bloke from a corporate recovery company and he then tells us how the company has gone into receivership and he's dealing with the insolvency and as of that minute our contracts were terminated and we were all out of job & just to add insult to injury payday should have been today and we didn't get paid! :shock: We were then told we will be able to claim to get our basic monthly salary back (not including commission thats £2K to me) once the company have completed insolvancy but that will take 6-8 wks to get our money back. We were then escorted off the premises. F**kin W**kers :xxx:

Needless to say all the staff had a few choice words :rant: met down the pub got a completely sh*t faced. :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

 

Absolutely gutted, it's taken me & the mrs just about a year to get back on top of things we've just remortgaged to pay off the credits cards and debts, we got the wedding comin up in September and now we're back to square one AGAIN!

 

Think i'll be taking a trip down the post office soon if not to cash a giro, do it over :rofl:

fookin ell bud, thats not nice

i feel for ya bud... this happens to me on quite a regular basis, not a nice feelin :(

 

what industry are you in that is so rocky? or have you just been unlucky?

That's shit James, especially twice in less than a year.

Chin up mate!! As one door closes, another always opens.

what do you fella? im sure people on here will keep their peepers peeled if anything comes up.

Crap matey, things like that always come at just the wrong time. Hope you both get it sorted soon :rant:

James - sorry to hear of your bad news. You seem like a resourcefull bloke, give it a week or two and you'll be earning again. Can you set up on your own or with some of the other guys who were mwde redundant - take on what's left of the old bosses customers?

 

Good luck

 

Jack

Hey all, thanks for all your supportive words, much appreciated.

 

I was in Engineering and Technical recruitment, unfortunately not in a financial position to set up on my own or with the others but i know it won't be long before i'm working again applied for a couple today already, it's just a pain the arse starting over it'll be at least another month before i get paid again and i'm majorily out of pocket with bills to pay this week! :headvswal :headvswal :mac1:

Thanks again guys ;)

Shit mate, sorry to hear that.

The cheeky fukkers - going insolvent and not letting you know in advance.

 

I'm sure you'll get something sorted soon.

i feel for you mate carlsberg going through some big changes at the moment i might be looking at it myself - unless i can get my hgv 1 in a matter of months :(
