Mr. Gayle Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Alas my VIP Family, I have been victim of the Credit Crunch.As of 06/02/09 my role has become obsolete.I work for Canada Life, investment company, on the IT side. I support IFA's using our bespoke systems to produce quotations and valuations etc. Any probs with those I look after. Due to IFA's hardly getting any sales/business, the systems are hardly being used. Which in turn means I don’t have anything to do, the issues that do come in are few and far between. So any future ones will be dealt with by the admin girls.It wasn’t a surprise really, could see it coming. Saving grace is that I got a decent redundancy package (SLK for Summer 09) and gives me proper time to look for a new role, maybe get some more IT certs.
