    Had another meeting with HR today, basically they've admitted being wrong, and gave me my letter of redundancy. So I have until the 15th September to get redeployed within the organisation, or they give me the cheque and send me on my way. I've a one to one meeting tomorrow to discuss redeployment opportunites...
    feeling :( but trying to stay :D for everyone else. But I know that I am good at my job otherwise the CEO wouldn't have fought a legal threat so he could keep me 12 months ago, plus I was one of 12 employees of the year in 2008/2009, out of 19 thousand employees that's not bad! People keep reminding me of these things...

    Really sorry to hear that, I got made redundant in April and the best advice I can give is be as professional as you can, even when you don't feel like it. I went through the one to ones, three step consultation, then appeal process and I was complimented for my attitude, didn't help me keep my job, but it made me feel better that I showed that they were losing a professional person. I hope things work out for the best for you. :)

    Still no Arras or Werchter boots at home, just checked with Nan.

    You loosing your job has nothing to do with your ability to do said job, the whole process has been dumb from the start.

    On a brighter note I got a letter today saying i've had a 2.5 % pay increase :D
    Doesn't mean much anymore :lol:

    No new boots for today either...

    When does it come into effect? If now, make the most of it before you become a student, stock up Sailor Jerry's whilst it's on special in Sainsbury's! :D

    I have however decided what I am going to have for dinner tonight (bro has his mate staying tonight, so they are going to Maccie D's after cricket)...gnocchi with pesto it is for me tonight.

    Eh, eh, eh...because you were off sick, aww hunny! Do they not give uou sick pay then?
    I guess that's the one thing with the public sector, I can self certificate for a week, and then with a docs note would be paid for a year on full pay off sick...

    Jenny, I could do with some mad dancingy meet upy thingy...can't say RATM as I wasn't there.

    Ah no doubt it'll be good! I was mad into them years ago (I had just missed their support slot with Opeth the last time they played here), but I lost interest a while back. Figured I might as well go back and relive some good times!

    I've always wanted to see Rammstein even though i'm not a huge fan. Their shows are supposed to be immense :mrgreen:

    Your not kidding. Seen them 3 times. Worth the admission price without a doubt even if your not a big fan of their music. Totally missed them this tour, never again :cry:
