    Unhappy I'm free, too!!!

    Just yesterday I got information that I'm redundant in my company, together with some colleagues. They are cutting expenses. After 22+ years of working for many different companies that I chose on my will, that day came. Not that I would like my job so much but still it was good payed job. Given the situation on the job market right no, it's not nice situation. Luckily I'm depth free and have some money to take care of my family for time being. My wife is employed and I think her job is rather safe for now.

    So, if some of the kilt-makers think that he needs some help in Europe, let me know. I'm free!

    Best regards!

    That was sad to hear. I have experienced losing a job my self a few years back, so I know how it is. Although it may seem hopeless right now, do do not give up hope. Maybe it will turn out for the better.

    Now that's a shame. It's never nice to loose a job; especialy a well payed one...

    I hope your next job will get you closer to France.


    Best,

    Losing your job stinks. Anytime.

    However, I really do believe that there are lots of opportunities to get along, and I pray you will find one that works well for you. I know lots of folks who've lost jobs--including me--and got on just fine.

    I hope you can see the opportunities and find one that fits your needs.

    Good luck, you certainly have the right attitude. I'm not sure what the situation is there, but years ago when I was let go as redundant, I was able to start my own business and the company that let me go has been a client ever since.

    Here's wishing you the best!

    These times force changes and perhaps there is something you can do that is associated with one of those alterations.

    I have found an upturn in my own business due to people wishing to make use of their free time to make their own clothes.

    Good luck finding what your next step is to be.
