I was in one of those half and half scenarios. Half the people were marshalled into one room to collect their papers, the other half had to wait in another room whilst first lot cleared their desks.

Me? I missed the entire affair whilst sat on the crapper.

Did you work for gameplay slight? I remember a very similar day when the company was split into two and walked off to another location. A hotel I think. Half were getting sacked with immediate effect and half weren’t. What fun it was trying to work out which half you were in whilst walking to your fate……

When I was made redundant along with the rest of the UK web team at a place I worked at during the dotcom boom, we were asked to leave immediately for fear that servers would be tampered with. They changed the locks too. Not for my benefit I might add.

We have to enter into a ’90-day consultative period’, but we are all aware that means frigg all will be done when they can save money by using overseas workers. after last year’s 30-day period, 50-odd workers went, so they have previous.

Nearly. I read it on the internet on Friday night, and had to ASK my boss if I was supposed to be doing any work or not on the following Monday.

Pah, I can beat that.
Hands up anyone who’s been told at the end of the working day not to bother coming in tomorrow. Or any time after that for that matter.
Come on, gotta be someone else out there, don’t leave me sat here with my hand in the air all by meself…

You got 90 days?

At out work we were told of “Impending Redundancies” Monday and 2 people were gone by the end of the week!

Even though I’ve just been given 90 days notice of redundancy, this has made me chuckle.

If only the bug affected the owners as well as the PS3s…
