I've been made redundant today - Rather a bizarre feeling

Our whole company is going down the pan.

So, if any of you IT types need web people (Design/build/test - all disciplines) let me know. I worked with many, very talented people - who have been right royally shafted by Sales/Directors.

I'm experienced in Project Management and Testing. CV available on request.

If I don't come up with something in a couple of months, my pride and joy will have to go to another home...

I'll probably find something soon, but I quite fancy working with/for some of you guys.

Cheers,
Squizz.

PS. My email address can be found in my profile (above).

Hi Squizz,

I'm sorry to hear about that, hope you are ok. I got made redundant yesterday!

Oh well!

Andy

 

Andy? You too? !

Aren't we a pair, eh? I'm sorry to hear that, mate.

Hmmm...Gotta check to see if my scoob finance is covered for redundancy. Trouble is I was self-employed when I started that, and I don't think it is!



Ah well, tomorrow is another day.

 

Chaps.

Hit Jobserve big time, there is currently a whole raft of Intergration/Application/Web contracts doing the rounds.. If you know anything about web development/packaging you should be quids in..

Me, I'm a Infrastructure Architect on NT/W2K but there aren't any of them doing the rounds at the mo, so I'm totally shagged at present..

 

Sorry to hear about the redundancies, no jobs to offer, just wanted to offer my condolencies!

 

If any of you can do WML programing or database administration let me know as we might have a couple of jobs in cambridge

Guys -

bad luck....I'm sure something will turn up as I.T. is booming at the momment.

Advice: sell your house, girlfriend/wife/kids etc, before the car.
(hope you don't mind the joke)

keep yer heads-up.

 

If you fancy something in the Surrey area (Reigate) i.e web design for an Investment Company, mail me off line...

 

Rik - further to our conversation this arvo it has been confirmed that sexually transmitted diseases WILL be rife in Worcester tonite so get your unemployed **** into town and start drinking pints of Jack Daniels and coke with us..... the totty wont know what hit 'em..... I'm leaving in 20 mins and will be in the pub by 6.... possibly see you in a gutter/ambulance/ police car, later (delete as applicable) keep your pecker up...tee hee
STD's here we come.........

 

Rich - Nice!

And to everyone else, thanks for the offers, sympathy, and wise-cracks!

All are very much appreciated...

Ta,
Squizz.

 

Squizz and Andy,

Sorry to hear about your lost jobs. Bummer.

Squizz especially, something that might be of use. CBS Appointments (Agency) are holding an open day at the Abbey Hotel in Malvern on Monday 12th Feb 4pm to 8pm.

This is excatly the kind of skills they are looking for amongst others.

I do know that CBS are a major agency for many of the "Defence" related companies around this region (DERA, GCHQ etc.) and also the "Blue Chip" companies.

Might be worth a visit.

More info on page 46 of today's "Malvern Gazette" but maybe also in the Worcester Evening News. Failing that check out:

 

Sorry to hear about the bad news - I've been there myself (made redundant by a well-known pop band - have had to re-train as a lecturer!!) and only in the last 6 months have I been able to buy my Scooby.

I did try alot of online places, and got sent alot of IT (web design) vacancies, so do not despair!

You've probably be told/thought of this before, but hope it helps.....

At the meet, let me buy you a drink

Regards,

Dan

 

Ian - Thanks a million, I'll be checking those babies out! I owe you a BIG drink.

Dan - Thanks, mate. I'll be looking out for ya this time...

Cheers everyone.

Andy - Hope something comes up for you soon, too!

 

I thought it went with the job !! - that is why the pay was so good - because the job security was rubbish ? You can't expect to have it both ways - like the army guys moaning cos they had to go abroad and be shot at !!!

StanS - Erm, don't quite know what you mean there?

When I was contracting, fair enough - But I'm a permanent employee and the money ain't too hot, matey.

Errrr - Especially now!!!!

 

Sorry to hear it squizz. I would say you could sell your body but even that ginga Chris Evans can only get Billy!!!

 

Squizz, Andy

Try

 

Sorry to hear about the jobs guys, I was made redundant in August but luckily I got fit up with a job straight away, my best career move to date in fact!

Fizz, I wish I could only get Billie!

Andy and Squizz

Si

Ps Hope you get sorted soon, Andy you can have a drink on me sunday

 

Bad luck mate...

There was nothing wrong with it, I just wanted a change after 7 years in the same place!

eBuisness/eLearning Project manager Cirencester,Glos.
I wll suss out my new employer as well but I dont start till the end of the month...

email dedwards@genie.co.uk

 

Hi Guys, unfortunately i hav'nt got any jobs to offer but just wont to offer my condolencies to fellow scooby fans, hope something turns up soon so u can keep yr pride & joy, goodluck all

 

Sorry to hear about the redundancies chaps.

You know the saying: As one door closes, another one opens.

But sometimes they open just a little bit wider!

In the meantime, there are vacancies at our place for a refreshment technician and a broom handling operative. Let me know if you are interested.

 

Cheers everyone!

I'm following up all avenues - Jobserve, Gisajob, CBS, Agencies, word of mouth, etc...

Something will come up soon, I'm sure.

In the meantime, if anyone wants a site of theirs re-branding, bespoke graphic work, or a site produced from scratch then please contact me to discuss. Why waste my management skills in the meantime when I can muster real talent from my previous colleagues!

I'll keep you all informed.

 

Sorry to hear chaps but have faith something will crop up. It did for me and a good many others I see. Keep your chin up m8.
