Well yesterday we received some extremely worrying news. The company have announced 500 job losses worldwide within our company. An estimate is an average of 3.5% of professional grade employees at each site. The thing is we know that's just an average and that in reality there will be a disproportionate amount from our site (see earlier post about our group being hit hardest). We find out by 18th December (as we leave for Christmas shut down) and employment terminated on 31st December. We don't yet know exactly how they will do it and who will go as the management team were still in talks yesterday afternoon when we left. As I've mentioned before both me and my husband work for the same company so technically we could BOTH be unemployed in 2 weeks time.
Christmas is officially cancelled.
