Bundle 2

Sorry to hear about your situation.

Reading between the lines it would appear that you have been used with the work that you did but i might be wrong.

There is a lot of companies now pay you off with immediate effect to stop vandalism.

You should pick something up with your experience even outside tree work.

i was made redundent wen i was off unwell, was off around 6 weeks with a stomach problem and the day i phoned to say i was fit for work n that i would b there on monday he said dont bother were having to pay you off, not enough work to keep you going.

with your skills could you not start up on your own ?

my redundancy has been a blessing because i am now at college studying something i have wanted to do for years, it must be in my blood tho coz most of my family work or have worked in forestry one way or another.

Sorry to hear of your predicament Tim.

 

If you haven't already, get yourself PTI'd, that plus your skills and the implications of the eventualy forthcoming 8516, I'm sure it will all be good.

 

Best of luck.

don't worry about it bundle 2, i was laid off the other month. i went out with a smile. one door closes another one opens. now i'm working for myself and do some gardening on the side with my dad. make the same money and work less.:001_smile:

no more listening to the boss or working on those days where you wouldn't put the dog out

Good luck B2,

 

As has been said, it's not much fun when it happens, but it might also be a good oppurtunity - particularly if you've been employed for a while and thinking about doing your own thing.

 

The really hard thing for most people thinking about self employmnt, is giving up a regular wage and having a go.

i'm still happy i'm not with my old company, but i'm begginning to miss climbing. i enjoyed being under the pump, long days, training in my spare time to improve myself. now i'm back cutting grass. at least i'm making some money, it feels like a bit of a step backwards.

i had this job today, i felt so sorry for this german fella, he obviously had no money(a writer). he actually had a tree that had fallen on his cottage but was still alive so he decided to leave it. but the cottage is slowly being smothered with trees. the light in the kitchen had to be constantly on. i charged him the bare minimum. there's always someone worse off than you.
