Redundancy...

[Dinner]

I've honestly been expecting to get such a letter for the last year but I've some how managed to hold on. I'm honestly over paid for what I do.

[Provost Harrison]

That's pretty much the impression I've got over the past couple of years Boris. So I'd rather not, all in all...

[Provost Harrison]

Ie, no country for young men

[ColdWizard]

Are you going to use your free time to resume your hobby of driving into Porsches?

[Provost Harrison]

You know, the place where I am going for this interview is right next to where I hit that Porsche. You do know that was rather a long time ago don't you...2000 in fact

[ColdWizard]

So you're overdue?

buying Porsche's ?

Come up to Manchester. Your salary will go a lot further, and the house fund will go twice as far.

Hopefully you can convince your new company to let you have a little 'bumming around' time (not in that sense!) before you start.

If PH wants to get some bum-loving action in I don't see why not.

Well I have nothing to do on my current job so my time is effectively from home (I am "working from home" currently). I will be up in Manchester next Wednesday (interview) and then the second weekend after that (friend's birthday) so I should get the chance to do some exploring. But this job would give me a significant pay rise in a place with a lower cost of living...not a bad order to do things in

I've been bumming so much recently I'm sore...with boredom

[Provost Harrison]

Well I am all lined up for the interview on Wednesday - should be a walk, although they have an HR person in the interview on Wednesday and they have a nasty habit of asking weird questions.

Damn HR

I also have another potential project in Dublin...I am now trying to juggle these two. The Oop North job is of the greatest interest to me so I am trying to put the other interview off until later on in the week. But I said if I do go for that job, I can take it very quickly.

[Provost Harrison]

The funny thing is though, the biggest problem I am facing is that the redundancy date is too late and might have to exit earlier

[OneFootInTheGrave]

different folks different strokes... I was several times in Switzerland so a fair amount of time, as I have some old college friends there... Best Country in The World. as far as I am concerned... but I guess if you are english speaking and have noone over there, that may be a hurdle to overcome

[Provost Harrison]

Actually the main reason I have decided against it is because of personal reasons (there are family reasons why I want to be closer to my home city, not further away) and then there is the whole language thing and completely having to rebuild a social life. But I think it would be great if I was raising a family. I have worked in Switzerland and the guys were truly awesome and a pleasure to work with, so that side of things wouldn't worry me.
