So so sad.......

I don't think they'll be paying "death in service"... :ohwell

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. :eyes
 
I'm undecided on how I would take my own life (if I was inclined)

Jumping from a roof, falling off a boat, throwing ones self under a train, pills, wearing a KKK outfit around Brixton?

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.

Sweetie, if you wanted out, I'm sure there would be no end of people only too willing to lend a hand

Is 'Death by CUKKER' suicide?
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
 
Would that be the Leeds offices? I worked there for two years and while the open center was a nice idea in practice it meant you got all the hot air and cooking smells from the cafe going up the middle of the building and into all the office areas.

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!
