Torino101 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Am planning to move to SA in January anyway, so it's not such a disaster - but the entire company was given notice last Friday - I will be officially unemployed come September! First time in my life! (even if it's only for 3 months!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Given you have other plans I guess congratulations are in order ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 As long as the redundancy covers the 3 months loss on income then I reckon you're on a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabus Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Good timing or what! Hope economically this doesn't mess up your move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torino101 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 The company has gone bust - so I guess I will only be entitled to Government redudancy - which amounts to sweet FA...... So the timing could have been a bit better, wish they had done this in 3 months time.... Means I have 3 months of income to fill.... I have Income Protecion Insurance , but that means signing on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Wow, not the best news, but I'm sure you'll work something out for beer tokens while you finalise your move to SA. Good luck to you chap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bells0 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I guess you have a silver lining in that you are getting away from here! - did anyone realise the company was in deep trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torino101 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I knew it was on the cards - hence why I took out income protection 9 months ago..... Just hoped that the firm would struggle through till christmas when I would be on my way! Feel more sorry for alot of my colleagues, many of whom are deep into their fifties, have been in this business for 10+ years and are now being put back into the job market. I on the other hand have pre-made plans, insurance to tide me over for 3 to 4 months before I leave, a wife with a stable good job, and am 28 so life could be a LOT worse!!
