Title: Bad news....good news!
Post by: Hurdy on September 26, 2014, 05:04:46 pm
Well my stint as a shift manager ends this weekend. After 26+ years at the same place I am being made compulsory redundant. The site is closing and so I am out of a job.  :sad1:

For just two days!

I have a new role in sales and marketing.......at Statller!

A great opportunity a with a great company, doing something I enjoy. To say I am looking forward to it is an understatement!  :jumping: :pomppomp:

Things always happen for a reason John. Talking cars all day (and getting paid for it) sounds like heaven  :laugh:

You've done enough advertising for Steve Jnr with your R over the past 2 yrs, it's only fair that he pays you for it  :signLOL:

Anyway, hope you got a decent payout from your employer  :evilgrin:

So let's get this straight. You have a 500bhp car already and now you're going to work for a tuning company who can supply you with cheap or development parts? Dear god, your poor engine internals!

Been made redundant twice mate - Never a nice feeling at the time.

After the 2nd started my graphic design job at home. Been rocking 4 years now. Get to see the kids grow up, lunch as long as I want and my boss (me) is awesome and aint gonna make me redundant!

Good luck bud!
