Re: Run of bad luck

Being made redundant is a real kick in the pants (I know, I have been made redundant five times since starting work). Your husband is obviously a fighter LQ, carrying on working after losing an arm can't have been easy for him but he managed it, so I think you will be OK and he will find more work.

Best of luck to you both. x

Re: Run of bad luck

Talk about a kick in the teeth LQ. I am so sorry that life is so cruel that a hard-working man such as your husband should be treated so shabbily. Life certainly has a bad habit of knocking us down just as we think we are cruising along.

It is bad enough to be made redundant when young, but once over 50, it's hard first of all to even find a job, but to then lose that job so soon after through redundancy must be devastating for him as well as yourself, as you have to be the strength to see him through this dreadful time.

My heart goes out to both of you. I truly hope he remains resilient and goes out there and finds another job very soon.

Big hug to you both.

I can't imagine what sort of sh*thead would sit there and interview someone for a job, knowing they would be leaving their existing job and would then be made redundant within four months. If the interviewer knew nothing about it, the accountant would have.

Yeah I was horrified when I heard it on news and John came home that night telling me they had announced it that same day. It beggars belief why they would take on new starters when they knew they were going under! Twats scuse my language x
