Is it worth starting to look now, or would you lose out on a nice redundancy cheque?
So, I've been in Leeds for 2 hours, and only one of my training group turned up. Going back to Newcastle now.

Yeah, I've been here 15 years so I need to stay for any pay out.
Quote: Nil Putters @ December 1 2010, 12:02 PM GMTThe the US company I work for is being taken over by a Swiss company and, rumour is, they'll probably shut the UK operation down. I could be out of a job, and therefore my flat in the next few months.
What is it you do?
N.B. the Swiss like the Germans and the Pope always have something to hide. Pretend you know what it is and blackmail them.
The company I work for makes Motors and Drives but, basically, I'm a Production Supervisor/Technician.
My Dan is swiss, I'll see if he can put in a good word.

It's not definite, but it's not looking good.
This snow thing is getting boring. Several more inches this morning. Kids off school, wife can't get into work, car packed up. Bah bumhug.
It looks nice, but if you have to work (or get about) it's annoying as hell.

I just started my car with snow/ice on the windscreen and the wiper started and so I have now ripped the rubber blades off the wiper arms. 
It is pleasing I have to say.
