Hi All,
The company I work for at the moment has decided to make the role I (and another) were doing redundant. Dang not unexpected but I on the quiet could see this coming and had lined up some interviews, one which sounded hopeful after the telephone interigation wanted to see me for a face to face put all interviews on hold. I have another telephone today. I was after some idea, is there a chance I could a solid offer purely from phone / Skype contact?

It's possible, but in times like these anything is possible - remember they are quite probably working from home ATM anuway, and reluctant to meet face-to-face!

Make sure you have the redundancy in writing before doing anything "drastic" - you may as well pocket as much dosh as possible for the hassle they have caused you!

Well I had the first interview / grilling with my Bosses Boss and told my role was being made redundant. Last time this happened I left in the Pub so long it was not funny, I made a promise to myself it wasn't going to happen again. Then Convid-19 happened and put a stop to the interview process (had a couple of good leads!) and then the axe gets dropped whilst in the midst of Convid-19

Ummm, OK, but will make the PJ's look odd (thank I don't have a web cam!)

Hi,
I saw a talk by Martin Lewis the money guy on TV the other day and he has said that if a company tries to make you redundant or just tries to get rid of you over this virus just ask them to put you on furlough as it won't cost them anything and you will have a chance to find (or try to) something without worrying too much about money.
Might be worth a go?
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, might be worth thinking about, issues and such about dates(!) plus this was all decided before the wheels feel off, but cheers...
|
|
|
|
|
Might be worth asking even if you don't think it'll get you anywhere, you might if they refuse be able to take to small claims.
Depends how good / loyal the company is to it's employees, from your previous posts they sound like a bunch of idiots, but anything is worth asking!

I should imagine there are a number of companies' share prices "down the pan" at present, but furlough is nothing to do with share price, it's all paid by the government, it wouldn't cost your employer a penny!
And if they won't furlough you then you are really better off out of it, the trouble is however if you are out of a job you'll struggle to find a new one whilst all of this mess is going on unless you get one in a "critical" sector or whatever they are calling it.

Yep - easy but quite a nice clue I thought.

It was a good clue!
As for easy ... I guess that depends on your knowledge of ancient Greek word roots ...

I always try ( and fail largely ) to think of a different anagram indicator as maybe perhaps just give the game away immediately

My family has relocated to our relatively remote cottage for the duration (my wife has an auto-immune disease and being away is a good thing).
So the daughter is doing her university courses, the wife is working online, I am reading CP and bang - the internet goes down. I get a text from a neighbour asking if mine is down too - so it appears to be the whole area. Much panic ensues as if life is ending...
It appears we really do need the machine that goes 'ping'...
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

True. Woody words are much preferable, especially if you're surrounded with trees.
