Beavis Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Well thanks to the worlds (W)Bankers i am now laid off for 11 weeks. Worked my last day on Friday 9 weeks on full pay and 2 on half pay Glorious weather Loads of Poker And a couple of holidays as well. Who says the recession does not have some good points? Oh well back to my breakfast on the patio Quote
Beavis Posted June 2, 2009 Author Posted June 2, 2009 Watch you don't get sunburn Got my parasol up trev Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 What I don't understand is how exactly does your company see the logic in sending you home for 11 weeks and paying you full pay for 9 weeks as some way of dealing with the credit crunch? Surely if they are going to pay you full wages for 9 weeks they would be more prudent to have you working at the same time??? That makes absolutely no business sense to me? Can you tell I'm jealous Quote
M13KYF Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 put to some good use and see if anyone wants your earthing kits Quote
Chris`I Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 put to some good use and see if anyone wants your earthing kits +1 - or get some more images knocked up so we can have them made into prints. Was thinking A1 size would be better than A3 we had done. Enjoy it while it lasts Quote
Shuck Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Hope the weather holds up for you Beavis. At the moment its looking pretty warm today.........I'm noticing that sat in my horrifically warm office! Good luck in the poker Quote

Can you tell I'm jealous Its very complicated to explain it all. But basically i am in the brick business. Good times will come back again and my company can not afford to lose me to someone else (i have 30 years experience). Hence thats why they are still paying me. Our site consumes approx £36000 in electric and about £80000 in gas a month alone!! Currently everything is switched off Will be looking into the grounding kits in more detail to see if i can source some different coloured cable. Quote
stanski Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 enjoy yourslf while you can Dave maybe take the zed out and scout for some new future club run Quote

martinmac Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Got a little place to chill Dave if you want it Quote
Maccaman Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Could have been worse Dave, 11 weeks in the winter My eldest son works for the Columbus Brick Company in Mississippi, he's an Electrical Engineer, and they have been badly affected by the credit downturn. Having said that, they have picked up lately & are looking to switch some kilns back on in their old plant, which has been shut down for about 3 months. He's just rang to let me know that the aeroplane transporting the space shuttle has just landed at their little airport, which they were able to see it coming in from their works car park Quote

RobD7 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Seeing as I am in banking Dave, I feel like you are one of the few people on the planet who might like to thank me!! Quote
RobD7 Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 And what happens after 11 weeks? Back to work i hope Unless there are still some more useless financial tossers left in the system Sadly they will still be in the system as the fat cats are never made accountable for anything Quote
Sarnie Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Awesome! I wouldn't complain about being paid to sit at home..... wait a minute that's what I'm doing this week! Thats what i do everyday of my life Quote
