The firm I have worked for since feb1999 told me on Tuesday that they are closing down my office and workshop and are consequently making me redundant… what a kick in the teeth! I have put my heart and soul into my work and now I have to fight for a decent redundancy package.
The company was started by my grandfather and I have always regarded it as a family firm. He wanted to retire and sold the company to a guy from the north with some money to invest.
The investor is not from my industry and has made bad decision after bad decision, spending vast amounts of money on consultants and silly advertising until we are in serious financial trouble.
I have made myself blue in the face trying to guide him to no avail and he told me on Tuesday I have to leave at the end of the month.
I feel like I have been punched in the stomach I am totally gutted, I will trouble to trust a company again as I feel my trust has been misplaced.
Sorry to burden you guys but I just need to get this off my chest.
