Yeah, I was going to make the post a little less vague but I was on the phone. But they didn't tell me, my training officer did, and when I confronted them about it they were stuck for words and just admitted it all. I hate my firm, at least be up front with me if I'm going to have to find another job =\.

[Rogue_Shadow]

really sorry to hear that bud

But dont hang around quickly go find some applications forms, any job is a income and you can go back to being a Electrician in the new year

good luck

[tobomoto]

[Bickerton]

Try being made redundant by text the day after you buy a car. Unlucky mate.

[Gary-VTR]

Could get a temp job as a delivery driver until you find a new job?

[tuft]

im a 2nd year electrical apprentice and just been told Bosch is closing so I'll be redundant soon aswell. I thought the company or training officer had to find u sumwhere to finish your apprenticeship?

[mtpagey]

so did i.... im just waiting to get my timeserved papers through but thought the same as you tuft, if a companty has to let you got they help find you another company to take you on. if they sack you then its a different story obv but thats strange...

[Adam_Q]

Same here dude :( I've got a 50/50 chance I'll still have my job in January :(

[StephanieLouise]

Sorry To Hear That :( Same With Me .. Iv been looking for a new job and applying everywhere just had no reply :(

[Caino]

sorry to hear mate.. good luck on finding a new job to pay for christmas etc

[Connor_scotland]

Sucks mate - I was made redundant 4 weeks ago and went back to my old job luckily enough.

Just be positive and sign up to every recruitment agency in the area - THey will find you work. I am still a Recruitment Consultant so can give you any advice if you want mate.

I've just survived a second round of redundances.

With hourly paid operatives at the company I work at some were on a months notice, some were on a week. Just depends on what your contract says. Ring your union rep if need advice

[Carlvtr88]

it happened to me two years ago its a joke... you get told from leaving school you should get an apprentice and you will do well.... 2 years later your on your arse no qualification and no money .... same with Uni Graduates too, although they often have 15 Grand worth of student debt to pay off too.
The government has taken a big shiny dildo and rammed it up young peoples asses ! Rant over

[Pieface]

I have an interview for an Apprentice Chef position on the second, although this is in a very prominent position with loads of rich people around and has huge business. So I hope I'll be safe.

Doesn't help with the state the country is in at the moment. End of the day it's the Companies decision to keep the apprentices on. Was common place in the construction industry for companies to let apprentices go before they were time served.

[9Freedman9]

Man, I hate my job but I think i'll keep it for now...

[-Alex-]

Chef's of any level rarely stay unemployed for long ;)

I wouldn't become a pastry chef anyway, too much of it is the same.

[alex19]

Start getting as much money behind you mate, never good to hear about this stuff.
