Redundant today.....
So finally got made redundant today, signed my compromise agreement and got the Premiership Footballer's pay slip for the month. ££££££££££

Anyone need a HR Manager, get in touch....

Bad timing, not a nice thing to be happening at any time of the year, but glad to see you've got your priorities right...

Good luck in the job search Chris.
It took me a little while after same happening in March this year, but am happy in what I'm doing now. (on the 2nd attempt!)
My compromise/payoff assisted the racing this year - but am now thinking of getting a night job for the next season racing

Cheers all,

It is a good thing, my time here is done and I'm excited about new opportunities...and I now have the one thing money can't buy, TIME.

Amazing how you can get caught up in and invest time in STUFF....and forget to have a good time all the time....

I've booked a month in Aus for Feb and will plan to start new job in March.

Currently interviewing or in process with....

Pizza Express
Pizza Hut
Bacardi Group
O2
Musgraves - supermarkets
Easyjet
Virgin Group
Disney UK

The HR market is really bouyant at the moment, lots of good stuff going!

Chris,

Hope you are as lucky as some I know, they get a nice payoff and walk into another job pretty easy, some even have another job sorted before the cheque hits their account. Some say its the best thing that ever happened to them for all sorts of reasons.
Sure, it can be long term bad news for some but that isn't always the case.

Ray.
