DH is going to be out of a job tomorrow

[JanH]

That's it, really.

WTF are we going to do.

oh no that's awful.
hope he manages to find something soon xx

I am sorry to hear this Janh. No words of wisdom I am afraid. Why is he out of a job if you don't mind me asking?

tell! what HAS happened?

oh. that's terrible. you must have had one hell of a weekend.

His company is in administration and they have decided they don't need him.

Oh, Jan

Was it sudden? Sounds like it's come as a horrible shock

Oh no Jan, what happened?

when dh changed jobs for the first time my brother said
" its ok hell get another" aad he meant it
made a huge diffrerence to me

But he is 53.

my dh will be 56 in one month. i live in terror of the same thing.

Holy s*&t, Jan! That's awful. Sorry to hear that.

sorry to hear that janh

Sorry to hear this Jan

He works in IT in a retail company and he thought he would be OK but obviously they have to save where they can and he has not been working full-time so the administrators think he's not essential.

His boss knows he is and has been pleading his case and threatening to go himself, but it didn't work. DH reckons they can probably struggle through.

Thanks, guys.

Are you working, Jan?

Did you find out on Friday? Have you had time to think about things? Will he get redundancy payment?
Oh Jan, I wish I could offer some practical advice. DH was made redundant at 32, but it is a whole different ball game at 53.

oh...i am so sorry to hear this jan

dh (also in IT) was without a job for 8 months. he reckons the market is improving so fingers crossed for your DH
