As some of you were aware, viewtopic.php?f=13&t=55888,
The company I work for was sold last year to a mystery buyer. Well after a long ado, we were finally told last Thursday who the mystery buyer is.
The new owners are SGS. http://www.uk.sgs.com
Is anyone here an employee of this company that can offer up any advice about them?
We had a pre HR meeting on Friday to discuss any questions we wanted put forward to the HR dept, and some questions were answered by the new "line" manager that came and spoke wih us.
Naturally all the employees are very suspicious about the new parent company, although some aspect of our contract will be rewritten for our benefit. A one liner in our current contract states that.
Office hours are 9 to 5, on site hours are 8 to 6. We only get paid office hours! So sgs have said that this will changed to sgs hours of work, 8 to 4 wherever we are.
On an exciting note, they gave an info pack out which contained a sgs frisbee!
