This sucks

[SandyDown]

Was supposed to stay on this contract till March, and now they found someone from another department (based far far away) who was supposed to be redundant, but she is very very very keen to come and take over from me

Today the PM comes and asks me what day is your contract due to finish… suppose they are calculating when to give me notice, and of course they expect me to train my replacement. Boohooo, if they gave me the notice now I’d be available at the worst time of the year!!

Can you hear that? It is the sound of the world's smallest violin playing Albinoni's Adagio.


Anyway, you know what they say Sandy. When one door closes, another one slams in your face!

I'm sorry to hear this SandyDown.

Remember, more jobs have been created since New Labour came to power than in the preceding 4000 yrs.

Have you thought of retraining in one of the skills shortage occupations such as IT? Salaries can be as high as £25K p.a.

Yours,

Gordo.

I guess that puts you inside IR35 as well !

[ChimpMaster]

Things have gone downhill ever since you put that Hijab on eh. Have you considered taking them to court over this?

[tay]

Am I the only one not surprised by this turn of events?

[Tex]

Sounds like a racist thing to me. Sue and just wait for the ker-chiiing.

At least you'll get a decent Xmas holiday.

Yeah, that's what Muslims enjoy, a decent Xmas holiday.

Not ideal for a born-again radical islamist, granted...
