Contracting is a strange world, the only way to win is to beat the competition before they beat you. There's very few rules and when your job is on the line your responsibility is for your family, not the directors trying to fleece you.]]> Chazz NoticeboardTue, 26 Feb 2013 19:20:06 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,931869,931998#msg-931998 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,931869,931998#msg-931998

You could probably set a small business up with 5 of your fellow re-arranged colleagues and go back to the hospital/carehome, and hire yourselves back to them for more than you were paid before.

This is directly linked to Cameron last week urging British Companies to outsource to India (and where he was making his speech from).

Luckily because of our contracts those affected will get more than the legal redundancy pay covered by current legislation.

Way I'm looking at it is that although its leaving a bad taste in the mouth its a chance to start afresh after working for the same company for over 12 years.
