I haven't been on here much lately, unfortunately my company had a round of layoffs and that's left about 3 times the work load for those of us remaining. Hope every one is peachy.

Having gone through the process last year I can empatise... I was made redundant when the company I'd been working for the last 12 years cut staff bu 60%... thankfully I got another job quickly but the industry has change quite a bit as a result of the downturn. I'm glad to hear your still working... As for your work imposed absence, given the state of the 2012 Ferrari I guess you don't have a lot to say anyway. |

I can imagine how your work can cut into your posting time. However if I were the jealous type, I might suspect you have found another, younger, prettier forum. |

Kinda ditto for me, except by the time the layoffs have finished, there will be no company left. Right now I'm gradually dismantling seven year's worth of work on our systems as people leave and stuff becomes redundant, just like I will in a few weeks. ![]() I just hope something good is around the corner!

Constantly under threat of redundancy for two years until they closed 22 offices and ours got away with it....just. The next round of cuts are next year, hopefully they will be the last! I must admit I have been on another forum but I have not posted much there or on here. I post a fraction of what I used to do, the passions waned a little, or I cannot be bothered to argue lol |

i got made redudant a few years back, out of work for a whole year, found a job, worked for a year then got laid off again, out for 6 months and now been working for 7 months. Conditions are not great out there but we seem to be finding enough work to keep the company ticking over. |
