:cry

I just got made redundant, 2 weeks paid notice whether I work or not... I chose not.

What a wonderful start to the week. 😢

Makes me think of that 'I don't like Mondays' song....

:cry

Don't worry Larry. Think of the fun we'll have next election when we get to make Johnny redundant.

I was a Wholesale Warehouse Sales and Showroom Manager (sales, administration, visual merch. and also minor IT stuff). The company I work (err... worked) for decided to focus on NSW, QLD and now WA instead of poor 'lil VIC. I didn't do anything wrong, but it's their loss. I was mainly clothing and worked alongside a jewellery Sales Rep who has been there longer than me. Now she gets to do her job AND my job which she knows nothing about!

But yeah, I do want work so I'll just have to find something new and exciting... and different too I hope!
Besides, I have to work else I'll be bored and will annoy everyone on AVD and will have no money for my Fasty... :P

Appreciate the chin ups guys, you all rock. :kiss

I can get you a job at Boeing working on aircraft, but you would have to move to Brisvegas, now that would be an exciting change for you. Mmmm Jet noise.

I still can't believe those laws passed. My condolenses to you PBB. I wouldn't be so sure about next election, the majority of retired folk like John and I heard that over 60% of Oz's population is over the age 0f 65! and we just starting to get into the baby boomers arent we?

With Kim in charge they won't win. I like Kevin Rudd or Ms Gillard. Maybe its time we had a lady in charge. I've heard they can do more than one thing at a time..... thats...um dammit, I can't think and type at the same time. Damn DNA 🙂

That would suck. There are so many factors in a job and getting the right amount of each component is hard to do. All of my job changes over the years ahve been me quitting, and I suppose having a trade makes it pretty simple to get another job. I would always find that changing jobs was as good as a holiday though. Unexpected change would make it a bit harder though.

Well, I'm a Jack (or should i say a Jill) of all trades... just applied for about half a dozen jobs tonight. Am seeing my 'Career Advisor' of a father tomorrow night for some input since he's a hirer-and-firer.
I don't think it has hit me yet.
I was bored in my job, but I know there's a lot worse ones out there. A change of scenery is in order, but definitely not going interstate.

Thanx again for all the kind comments, keep those fingers crossed something good comes up soon... means Retro will get fininshed sooner! :P

PBB, did they give you a proper redundancy payout?

Time to join unions again people. That's the only way to get workers rights back...afterall that's how we got em in the first place.

I may have a problem, there doesn't seem to be a union for ministers, just as well my boss is so forgiving eh. 😉

you will be alright.

Earlier this yr, i worked at a surf clothing retailer, they started giving me crap hrs, living on $36 as a uni student a week. ($20 went to transport, $10 went to paying my bro back, the rest, well, no idea). But... After worrying for a while, everything fell in place.

I'm at a great job now, with excellent fellow staff. Everything, that is, the place, the fellow employees, the boss, the hrs, etc. is better. downside, still same pay and longer to travel to. But ay, i luv it.

Just keep up the faith, and u will be alright. Life will find a way. Have hope!

I've thought about setting up my own business but it's so slow everywhere at the moment and rents are stupidly high. One day maybe... :P
