Default Why does it always rain on me????????

I resigned from my job, after 23 years of service last July, when we came to Perth.
Over the many years working for 'The Ole Social', there had always been talk of staff cuts and being 'overstaffed'
Now I hear, for the first time that voluntary redundancy is being offered across ALL the staffing grades. If I had hung on for another couple of months I would have got a MINIMUM of £30,000!!!!!!
Oh well, sh*t happens!!!

Hi Sandra,

What a nightmare!!! You have had so much stress and bad luck lately, that I think you have had more than your fair share and things can only improve now!!!

Sending you some karma - if it will let me!!!

If it's any consolation I understand I can't get it either even though I'm still technically employed by the Dept, cos I'm Head Office!

I don't know how long you would have to wait for it to go through - you're better off having been out of it these last few months I reckon.
