Weighing up job opportunities

Just got told today my employer is insolvent !!!!!!

Result; 6 -8 weeks before redundancy pay, as this all has to be claimed thru the Gov.

Lengthy claims for any extra rights, i.e lieu of notice, holiday, weeks worked unpaid, etc.

Many of you chaps have prolly been thru this, for those that haven't, I hope you never have to.

My whole working life has been dedicated to my trade, get an apprenticeship they said... It will stand you in good stead, they said !!!

Now I'm here at 63 years, no vacancies, ( my trade is a real niche market ) not much chance to retrain as a bus driver never mind any in print.

K sorry for the glumness, and for the invisibility the last few weeks/months, Still have to break this to Mrs Fube.........

One saving grace, house is paid for, no mill stone round my neck in that regard.

Apologies again chaps, just needed to vent somewhere

Prolly have to close my inet, so if Neil (if you're looking ) can keep my account open it would be most appreciated.

See you all in the near future I hope, thanks for your friendship over the years.

Best wishes, love and regards.
