Got made redundant today. Anyone need an embedded software engineer with telecomms/voip experience. Good at smashing car windows using a  lawn mower.

Grrrrr. At least the sun is out. The way things are going I'll burn myseld badly though!

Sorry to hear that mate. After having three jobs in two weeks, I've given up.

You can be my office junior if you want!? I had a workexperience kid working for me a while back and enjoyed the feeling of superiority and power!

Sorry to hear that batch, if your good at selling maybe you can sell some 'stuff' for me!

Batch you can be my gardener if you like :wink:

seriously though, all the best

SY, get back to work you lazy fucker! £10 says you're playing WoW

If he's not at work, but hasn't been posting for much of the day I'd say there's a pretty good chance he's on it.  I'll have a tenner too.

Chin up Batch, you'll be back in the rat race soon enough.

I've got no job now  :x Three jobs, I was sacked from two and the other one was so dull I wanted to cry. Fuck that I'll just sit at home until September now.

sonic come down here and work for me, you can be my bum boy

how'd you get sacked?

what did you get sacked for? being angsty to customers? :wink:  :D

Unlucky Batch I was made redundant a couple of years back its a right bummer.Hope you sort yourself something soon(hopefully you got a bit of a payout so you can enjoy a bit of the sun 8) )

First job was at the pub, I'd had a shitty day and was late for work (only about ten minutes) in the evening, I dropped a glass and my boss told me to go 'take a break' so I did, bit later she came and told me I wasn't right for the job, so I fucked off home.

Second job was at some photo development place, was going fine until my boss asked to speak to me and told me I was sacked because I wasn't cut out for the world of photo development. Apparently, you either have 'it' or you don't and according to him I don't have 'it', whatever the fuck that is. I'd only been there a week, I'm guessing there was another reason but he wouldn't tell me. The fuckers still haven't paid me.

Oh and yes I've been playing WoW, my warrior is level 57 now 8)

hahaha you are fuckin useless at everything, defo come and work for me you can be my monkey boy and you can do stupid things to amuse me

:grin:

thanks mex

It would seem that your probably not cut out for customer facing jobs SY.

Consider it a blessing the general public are total fucking spastics.

Kick back and enjoy the summer 8)

Jobs are shit anyway. I've only ever had one for a few weeks in my life, looking for another one though.

Mex - you have lovely subtle ways of putting things don't you?

Sonic - you'd probably be better off at working for a larger company, e.g.: Sainsburies, Boots etc.  I've worked for Go-Karting For Fun, which strangely was mostly a shit job depending on who I worked for, but the boss was slack as shit so I could get away with a lot.  Now I work at Next and due to the number of workers/spaces to hide I can get away with a lot.

If I was an employer I wouldn't fucking employ me.  I'm shit, basically...  So yeh, just work for a big company and you can get away with murder, as long as you turn up on time and don't rock the boat.

The lad walrus is right. I worked at Focus DIY whilst doing my A-Levels. There was so many places to hide in and around the store. You could waste hours pissing about

I worked at Tesco.

Why did you stop (or was that part of the photo stuff)?  Could you not bare to sell your soul to the corporate masses?

i love you sonic, its good to be fuckin awful at crap jobs, why be good at them? i was useless at every job i had, got sacked loads, the reason being they were shit jobs, now im doing something i love im the best at it. come and be my monkey boy.

What exactly is your job now mex?

i run discoteques.
j'aime le disco-weekend 8)

The IT industry is shit at the moment. I hope everything goes well for you.

They've told everyone at my work to expect reduancies, find out in 2 weeks  :?

I was working in the pharmacy, I really enjoyed it, liked the people I worked with, felt the job was worthwhile and didn't mind the customers (most of the time). I left because I was ill and I kept having disciplinary meetings about my attendance, so I chose to leave instead of being sacked.

:) Ah oui j'adore ca.

I spent two and a bit years working at Ladbrokes during my degree. Best temporary job I've ever had. Saturdays were busy and so were the big race meetings but other than that I was being paid to watch and know about sport. Working the evenings during the summer was a joke - feet up, beer in hand, placepots in front of me, watching the racing and whatever bollocks was on tv.
And I was a manager - it was twice as easy as a cashier, don't even have to know how to settle a bet...
... and then there's the petty cash theft (if that's your thing! :wink: )

send your cv to the personnel dept here at williams f1, station rd, grove wantage, oxon, ox12 odq amd they may well have something.

i once cooked breakfasts at tesco

Faringdingdong, was that aimed at me (presumably since it is unlikely they would want Sonic near them!)

edit: Just been onto the Williams F1 job section and found a role for a graduate engineer. Looks like good job into the industy, but I graduated 10 years ago this month (gulp). Thanks very much for taking the time to post the job though.

yeah course it was aimed at you Batch, get in touch with Williams anyway, the site is not always bang up to date and i happen to know of a few people leaving our IT dept soon as they were only uni lads so it's worth five minutes of anyones time.

I've been around to every agency and there is bugger all at the moment. Applying for asda and if I still cant get anything by August I will be heading back to Southampton and looking there probably. I really need the money.

Got my first job offer today! My preferred job is back in the holy land (Swindon) and I have a second interview tomorrow,  but this one feels good too.

Only bugger is it is in High Wycombe. I intend to stalk Tommy Mooney in my lunch hour if I take it.

Now a dilema: Pay off all my debts with my redundancy pay, or buy something shiny .....Hmmmm.

shiny, shiny, make it shiny - go on treat yourself
