Kurtis Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 id rather have job security tbh, or at least a warnin even if it means i make less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Planet Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Your company only dictates your job security to an extent Obv if you're working for ENRON you'll be screwed But a a normal firm you have to make sure your still an important cog in the machine be it by taking the relevant courses or being tenacious to stay on top You should never be content as just part of the furniture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtis Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 of course but to be there since 1998 guy obv wasnt sleeping at his desk and to let man go without even a days notice is not nice i wouldnt want to be in that environment, constantly thinking if imma be fired today would stifle my work rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M12 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Lol bare naivety in here. Sometimes being made redundant is a straight business decision. Nothing to do with how good you are at your job or how "motivated" you are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Planet Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 If your redundancy has more cons than pros to the benefit of te firm then you will not go Companies don't stockpile workers to do nothing so they can fire them at a whim If you're getting fired you are obsolete If you're not you are vital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with how good you are at your job or how "motivated" you are. yes but surely when the powers that be are selecting who they are going to make redundant , they are not going to lay the ones bringing in the most money or the top workers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermalt Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 whole departments go even if you are an asset. If your team, your floor doesn't make sense on the bottom line, your going when the dam breaks unless you can jump somewhere else in the business. Aint no point being on the top of a sinking ship, theres no such thing as a permanent job anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your company hires you/a group of workers because they've got a new project or new client that they expect to get a lot of work from and their current workforce is stretched. If the project gets canned or that client pulls back. Best believe you're all disappearing regardless of how "good" and "motivated" you are. Also like Supermalt said if your department is making a loss or the company believes that market is shrinking or disappearing you're all getting made redundant. You're a number on a screen somewhere and if an accountant/management report flags that you/your team dont make sense. You will disappear. Always remember that.

Afroman Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 http://www.nytimes.c...wanted=all&_r=0 That's the article. Perfectly encapsulates life working for them. This article is the reason we all got a raise, although they claimed it was because they "had such an exceptional year and really wanted to show their thanks" SMH Some guy was telling me that you don't really have management in the apple store and some random computer chooses your shifts and what not.. Is it true? He was saying some other boys sued a store once over that and won.. But PMSL @ having a pc make your roaster on some take it or leave it sh*t. Thats peak.
