Have sacked a few in my time but only when it was as a result of their own doing...tapping someone on the shoulder and telling them to GTFO when they've been loyal employees and done nothing wrong would be pretty bloody hard.Glad to hear Adam, hope the work environment is not too sh*t as a result.

It sux balls when you go into work and the only conversation going is how long have we got, how bad things are and how bad are they going to get and who's next.Being a supervisor the guys expect you to know but its impossible to explain that your just as much a mushroom as they are.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 9m 26d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 18/09/12 08:31 AM Share Posted 18/09/12 08:31 AM Yeah. I'm the team leader so they all turn to me for info.4 people took voluntary redundancy.2 people got the rug pulled out from under them.1 guy got told his current position was gone, but he had the option to take a lower paying position in another area.There's 2 more to go tomorrow, which should've happened today. We think they'll be apprentices. I feel so bad for these kids because we were all told it would be all finished by COB today. We assumed that if we made it out the gate tonight without being notified then we'd be ok. Looks like that may not be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
