I've been made redundant I was so worried that this was going to happen......it caused me to suffer from insomnia, I felt weak and tired. However, now it's happened I feel elated. It's been a blessing in disguise...I've been lucky enough to get a new job, the salary isn't as good, but I don't have to work with a bunch ratlike(not the animal) dickheads anymore and my sleeping patterns are grand. I know I've been lucky and that alot of people won't be as fortunate as me. I just want everyone to know that the stress and worry is much worse than the actual losing of the job.
The general thinking of 'have I or haven't I...' isn't nice but when it comes to your job its a bit different. I was made redundant from the first job I got after uni and its not nice an you worry but I am glad you are now ok and that you have found yourself a job and didn't have to wait too long with out a job before getting another. Also glad to hear that your sleeping is better... I dod exactly the same if something is bothering me
Insomnia's crap man. I've suffered with it all my life. I generally get 2-4 hours of sleep a night. But i'm not tired. The adrenaline kicks in when you really tired and makes you feel like your on speed. But you have to make sure you keep your blood sugar up because you burn it like crazy. This is why I work nights now.
Hi Im really pleased you have found another job, its nice to her some good news from someone Not knowing what is going to happen in your life is really unsettling and its hard to carry on 'as normal' when you have no idea what the near future holds. Well done for keeping it together and god luckin your new job
I'm having a shit time looking for work at the moment. Two degrees and I still can't get a bloody job! Three times the charm? :tongue:
I was axed as part of a job cut in my company - and sadly, as a temp, you get nadda....just a 'thanks for coming'. I felt really annoyed as I'd given them 3 years service. I have 3 degrees - none of which I can get work in anymore, and last week was emailed by my employment agency to say I should search for jobs myself elsewhere as I was just too over qualified for the jobs they have on their books at this current time, but if anything comes up, they will get back to me. Great! Then a day later, the Jobcentre asks me, if I can speak Polish, Russian, or any Indian language. "No" I replied "I'm British born and bred, always lived in London, but if you pay for a course, I'll happily start learning!". I was told that sarcasm wasn't appreciated, that they were only trying to help!!!???!!! Now I'm not racist, but she implied I'd get work easier if I could speak any of the above, but there would be no assistance for any language classes - that in my town are about £200 a go. I am NOT a happy bunny. Been out of work now for 3 weeks, and am slowly going insane.....
No way that really sucks. I'm pretty sure you should get something for 3 years service though, my friends girlfriend works for a company that specializes in this kind of thing, I'll ask her for you. I had to leave my new job...the company was really bad to it's employees and pulling the wool over the eyes of their customers, I had to disassociate myself from them as soon as possible...sort of regretting leaving though. "I'm having a shit time looking for work at the moment. Two degrees and I still can't get a bloody job! Three times the charm?" Looks like you need 4 degrees and at least one foreign tongue to get a job these days.
Just read your other post so am editing as youve left the new job...sorry to hear that! That really sucks, there are so many shit companies out there, good on you for moving on though, hope you find the perfect job soon
Cheers Maxi, at least this gives me time to reflect and put all my efforts into something I really want to do. I'm going back into education, I've been thinking about doing a degree in graphic design. Never thought I'd be the old dude of the class!
