Have Officially Been Made Redundant


Well the first time I have ever not left a job because I wanted to... been made redundant after 13 years with the company. I leave on 13th April. At first it was a shock, then I was angry, and now I am quite excited because.....

I have a new job already!!! Starting on 16th April.. so not a single day's loss of work, plus I will get £thousands redundancy.... all helps towards the big plan of selling and moving this year... and who knows... even a holiday...

It has been over 14 years since I had a holiday... it will be so amazing!!

My mum always tells me that when one door closes another opens.
Really pleased for you Donna, I know your job has been uncertain for a long time now. Atleast you can now put all that behind you and move forward.
Wishing you all the very best for your new job and I hope you get that holiday that you deserve. x

Re: Have Officially Been Made Redundant


Everything seems to be falling in place for you Donna. I was going to say sorry about you being made redundant but it looks like it has worked out for the best for you!

Well done on having another job to go to so soon ........ is it the same kind of work that you've been doing in the Estate Agents?

I hope you do manage to get a holiday this year, not only have you earned it, you definitely need it after 14 years.

It is an office admin job so similar to what I am doing now, but it is with a company that supply renewable energy products.. solar panels etc..

I have the same pay, same holiday entitlement, but bonus of pension scheme, sick pay and slightly shorter days.

Blinking heck Silver Linning have a go on the lottery.

So pleased for you - where are you thinking of going on holiday. Go somewhere you always dreamt of going.

Well done Donna - a potentially sad post turned round in a sentence and now a happy looking-forward one! Brilliant.

Sounds a bit strange but we have been talking abut a cruise.

Re: Have Officially Been Made Redundant


Why is that strange, I think it would be perfect you travel no hassle and catch the sun at the same time. Where would you go? Have to say never met anyone who has been on a cruise who has said they either disliked it or would not go again.
