Today is the day
 

:hmm: get told if im going to be made redundent from halfords just been working for them for under 3 years now :( what a waste of my life

best of luck mate,hope its good news!

Are things really that bad at Halfords?

Could be worse, could take a lady home and find she has blue waffle :whistle:

Best of luck though, with work that is, not finding a lady with blue waffle.

your one dirty boy lol work should be fine i have a few new jobs lined up:mml:

Best of luck dude.

It's not the end of the world is it, hardly setting the world alight are they! It is probably a blessing in disguise as you could easily become too comfy in what is a stale market. I would treat this as a launching pad for better things.

Best of luck, hope it all works out OK.

:smile1::smile1::smile1::smile1:

I'll second that. When I lost my job with Chevron Oil in 2006 I thought my world had ended - when actually it was the best thing that could have happened and I ended up with a better job out of it!

If you've got other jobs to fall back on sounds like either way you will have it sorted mate :)


How did you like the industry & working at Chevron?

I have been considering going into BP to do Procurement after uni.

good luck with it. give me a text let me know whos been let off!! Its good you have other jobs lined up :)
Shame out of the 3 people i best get on with. . . . 2 has to go :(

Are Halfords in the s**t then? I know they were a few years back but i've heard recently they've just bought out Nationwide Autocentres and going to turn them into Halfords fast fit centres for batteries, wiper blades, tyres, exhausts, brakes, e.t.c

out of all the companies I've worked for Chevron were probably the best in terms of freebies and training oppertunities, but the clawback (days you have to work extra before you get paid any extra - mine was 16 days!) was a pain. I spent a week in Norway on a training course and didn't get paid for it - but made sure I partied hard every night on the company credit card :happy2:

BP are really good if you end up on the right platfrom. I've been on 3 now and they've all been great, but I'd never work for them onshore.

I'm with Shell now and I can't say I like it much. They never spend money on anything non-production related, I'm constantly doing extra time without overtime - or even a thank you from the powers that be :ohmy:

It's gets you out to see the world though. I've got some amazing party stories out of it all :thumbsup:

Job centre here i come 2 weeks today will be my last day of a dead end job and then the start of a better future i think its the best reall it to laid back and im getting lazy with it so this will be my kick start to a new life


maybe i could become a milf tester :p

oh and nick the 3 people wo are on risk is me mike and joe mike took part time as he has a kid and lives close to work and joe will have his meeting next week but he has got a new job so he will proberly take redundency so he gets some extra cash

all stores are sending the disks back to the main depo so they save money buying new stuff and no stores will stock any disks for cars even tho tey dont do are disks lol but they can still order in


im going to make sure i keep my trade card and discount card:laugh:

Bit of a bummer, but all the best for the future.

:yes::yes::yes:

thanks they was like we can give you part time but the hours are 15 hours a week and i have to drive 20miles each way so its not like i will have money after paying for my car plus got mot soon and insurance and tax think the zs maybecomesorn:judge:

One of the things they should have said, is that you are allowed time off to go for interviews/job seeking etc. without them deducting it as holidays, or saying you have to make the time up.

Just give them notice when you want to go.

As they say, one door closes, another one opens.

:wave:

Lame!! No more Mg meets in the car park :(
Joe did tell me hes handing in his notice in 2 weeks and said only you, mike and I no.
Time to give your self an extra bonus and fill the car with bits ;)

forgot sunday will be my last day working with ya :( im on holiday for 2 weeks while i work at Brands Hatch.

I wouldn't be a food critic though, you might have to taste test a blue waffle :whistle:

good luck finding a new job buddy....

maybe its the area i live in but it took me over a year to find another new job

like ya mate said fill ya bag with goodies before you leave thats what i did at my old place..

If he knows others are being made redundant surley the right thing to do is to let them know now, not in 2 weeks, even better would be to offer to take redundance, then he'd get some money and still leave.

they already know we got told that we was on risk of redundency about a month ago but thy said itwas not a gurantee of it tho
