| Slightly dumb struck
Everybody had to attend a meeting at work today to discuss cost reductions that will include redundancies.
Out of a Staff of 33 we were told 30 of the positions were being considered and at least 8 people will have to go and in the worse case of a hopeful contract falling through it could well be 15 people.
At the end of the meeting everybody gets an envelope, in it are a list of the 30 jobs, ranging from the Managing Director down to the part time cleaner.
Look through the list and my job isn’t listed, is this just an oversight or is it that I am deemed to be an essential member of the business. Re read the list, put names to job titles counted 30 of them worked out the three missing names and one of them was still me.
I am finding this hard to believe, as it is a shock to me. I’m also feeling a bit guilty as everybody else I have worked with for some years is on the list, some of them have young families while others would find it harder than I would to get another job.
Tomorrow at work should be interesting.
