Default Re: So what do you do??

I currently prepare quotations for the supply of electrical components such as light fittings and power points to electrical contractors.

However with my job being "disestablished" through a restructure I might not be doing that after July 1. Get this..... I have to apply for my own job back in the new structure even though there is no compertition (as nobody else in the company doing the same work).

Then again I might just take the redundancy and run.

Sounds way better than it is, two people got made redundant in the last 3 years because they did bugger all anyway so picking up what they actually did wasn't really a stretch
