Hey got a call to the office today -
I have worked for same company 3.5 years after leaving another job of ten years. By the way 7 weeks after I left the ten year job they were made redundant - bummer!
Anyway 5 people made redunant today - I am part time 25 hours per week. We have 2 branches and some people do work for both branches. I began as receptionist and moved into telemarketing and back up to other departments. Last year they began using a CRM company and then they took on a sort of CRM person who used to work for the CRM company in the other branch. Myself and herself would have backed up the Marketing guy. She is there perhaps 4 or 5 months and I am now surplus to requirements. If she is to start doing what I was doing for my branch is this okay? I was never offered full time or at least asked if I would go full time. Because of having less money I have taken a second part time job in the evening.
I cant understand the cost cutting as we all got our summer bonuses too. Again I work 25 hours and the rest 37.5 - the admin bonus was 1000 for them and 500 for me even though I dont work 50 per cent of their time. Its not a performance bonus persae its just a bonus.
Anyway they asked me if I wanted to go straight away or stay for a month. Everyone else left immediately but I am working on something which will benefit some people and I want to finish it so I said I would like to stay on. I think they were a bit shocked!! Also they have been interviewing Fas people lately too - for which role I dont know! Any opinions anyone??
Thanks
