: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 blame me i didn't vote for them. Don't worry,your next job will be better and more enjoyable.Look at it as an adventure and you will be back on your feet in no time!!! It does suck though but little Johnny HAS made it easier.....

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

dont blame me im just employed by him,

aww, you poor dear..
don't worry PBB, a smart girl like you should have no problems finding a job
just see it as a challenge, i'm sure you'll be fine

YAAAAY for PBB, more time to drive your car!!!


there is a rainbow with every cloud.......

what do/did you do?

What a crap start to the week! Shame your not a Nurse, I could use a few more of them

smile there is always work for people who want it:thumb

I love using nurses :kiss

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

You coulda stayed a few days and shuffled all the filing!

I'm going in tomorrow for an hour to quick train the other lady, and delete the things I worked out how to do. :P

ring up john howard for a job

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'm so sorry to hear about your job laura!
**hugs**

We had the samething happen here with my wife Little Johnny sucks!

But she found abetter job with more money so look on the bright side you will get a better job .

Good luck

Marc & Kathy

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

Crapola Laura! Sorry to hear the news.. I think there will be something better around the corner for you though... your too nice to waste in the industry..

good luck!

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

yeah, bad luck,

but at the same time, GOOD LUCK! as well....

the couple of times i have been "moved on", afterwards i loved it and thought i should make job changes more often.

all the best to you.

Go out & drive trains. I'm told connex is screaming for drivers.

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.

Yeah, I got 2 weeks paid notice, 4 weeks redundancy pay, plus hols and sick leave on top.
Still, it's the first time I've ever lost a job not of my choosing!

seek.com babe!

Seek.com is my new friend.... :P

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!

That sucks... i got pushed out of a company i had worked hard with for over 4 years... f***ing americans :P

Maybe you could set up your own little business? DAMN THE MAN, POWER TO THE PEOPLE

:kiss

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
