Re: Goodbye My Skoda

could agree more you show loyalty and you get shafted for it!

Best of luck in your future venture and just see it as their loss not yours!

Re: Goodbye My Skoda

I've been made redundant from every job I've had (except for stacking shelfs and Mc D's) due to reorganisation, moving etc. Most of the time it will work out for the best in the long run, although it doesn't always feel that way, that's for sure.

Good luck with the job hunt I'm sure you'll get there in the end

Good luck pal - redundancy is rarely a good thing.

Really feel for you, hope you land on your feet soon enough.

Dont know too many companies in that field as I have been out of it for 10+ years. I will email and phone around a few contacts and let you know if anything crops up.
