      Just done a gig where 400 people were outsourced. Exactly the same circumstances. People in their 50's working in the IT department. Been there 30+ years

        God, I can hardly imagine being at the same place for 30+ years.

        The years must tick by faster and faster in a routine like that.

          Not sure if I have a preference..
          I reckon a running jump off the Grand Canyon would be an exciting way, or sky-diving. Something that ends instantly and painlessly.

          It'd be like being beaten to death by a limp-wristed guy holding a fish.

              Ohhh - dunno - I knew a guy at Lloyds/TSB who topped himself (at home not on the job) and said the same thing to his boss - but it seems they pay out DiS no matter what!!

              Don't know if LTSB is an exception

                  I worked there for 18 months. It struck me as a waste of space really. While it looked quite nice, it gave up a lot of floor space. I never worked on the top floor but i imagine it was pretty grim in the summer. Bob and his mates had pretty much took the place over when I was ousted!
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!
