I’ve Just Been Made Redundant This Afternoon.....:(

[Smowball]

ReLly didn’t expect it. Don’t know what I’m going to do now . Such a shock as was speaking this morning and not a word was said, then an hour later I get told in an email.... :(

[MartinMillar]

I thought you were self employed? Ran a business from your home?

[Tuvok]

Can they do that just now?

Are you in a union? If so get in touch with them.

Or Citizens Advice.

[Smowball]

I run my own online FB shop but also work for an I.T company.
They had furloughed me but I honestly thought it was a temporary thing. Oh well!!

[marval]

Sorry to hear this Smow.

[Tuvok]

I would still check the legalities of it.

[Smowball]

Is it too early for wine??

[MartinMillar]

Oh right

Looks like you can be - but there needs to be a fair process - so being told in an email with no consultation may be unfair.

Sorry to hear this Smow! Have that glass of wine!

[douglas9401]

Hopefully this problem too will pass.

[rockyracoon]

I reckon there will be a lot of this over the next few months.

Get the wine down you

[Smowball]

Thanks guys...x

[Smowball]

It will be on 1st July

There are a surprising amount of opportunities around, Smow, if you no where to look. What IT skills do you have?

[Smowball]

A few. I can create websites, trouble shoot etc..... tbh I don’t mind doing something else, I’m not fussed. As long as I work..... I’ll be ok x

[fiction-factory]

How long had you worked there Snowball?

[Tilly2]

Is it an opportunity for you to expand your online FB shop, perhaps?

[Bobbisox1]

That’s good skills to have Smow, best of luck to you

[fiction-factory]

Smowball, sorry

[Smowball]

Thankyou everyone. It’s much appreciated and yes I think Im going to work on my shop till something comes up x
