Just been made redundant.

Congratulations! Fantastic news to share, particularly on New Year's Day.

New beginning, new door opening!

The new job should be pretty much the same, joys of a profession.
The main thing is that the staffing level will be higher, so I won't be running a virtual one man show anymore. I get to ditch all the crappy paperwork/ form filling and concentrate on doing my real job dealing with people.

Money not quiet as good, no idea of any benefits, never asked at the chat as I thought I was looking at part time work. Hope to get the contract thru on Friday. So should know more then.

Sorry, the 'benefits' question is very American. It really refers to the quality of healthcare offered (I'm guessing yours will be excellent! ), along with 401k match, PTO (again, yours will be beyond the wildest dream of most Americans, even if it's the statutory minimum), and that kind of thing. I need to deamerican myself...

Sounds like it all worked out for the best, happy new year

Well guys I wanted to say a big thank you to you all. My first week is over and all seems good. I think I may even have landed on my feet, a job that pushes me further and challenges me in new ways.

Guys, your words of support/ commiseration meant a lot to me, so thanks, thanks a bunch.

Glad to hear it!

Good news indeed.
I have been made redundant couple of times in my career. That's when I stopped doing perm and became a mercenary i.e. a contractor!

Great news on the job, particularly if it bringing new challenges - I think it's called 'career development'!

But great that it is working out for you!
