Countdown to Extinction

Okay, maybe a little melodramatic.

A better title might have been “The countdown to the great big Scottish Power cull”.

At some point in the next two weeks I (along with everyone else in the company) will find out if I still have a job to do, as part of a restructuring/costcutting exercise. :(

Ah, big corporations. Dontcha just love ‘em?

This might all tie in with the possible take over by E.ON, a big German energy company, but that would be coincidence surely?

    A corporate takeover ending up in a streamlining of jobs? You’re so synical, as if that would ever happen! Whatever will you accuse of next? Journalists of lying, perhaps?

    Good luck, buddy! Let’s hope the idiots that decide your fate remember all the hard work you did for them over the weekends and stuff.

    Also, let’s hope they don’t realise you blog while at work, just like I hope I don’t get discovered reading your blog while at work.

  3. Ahh yes the multi-millionaire business owners friendly terms to help “Streamline” their business and make it more “customer friendly” by making the service more “cost effective” and “Re-structured”.

    Al, go to these people and say, stick you buzz words where the sun don’t shine you over paid under worked scum bags who only got where he/she is by stepping over the corpse of the last scumbag that f*cked up and fell off the ladder of success to let you use him/her as a scapegoat for all you future mistakes, you make me sick.

    At that point you crank open that big ol’ can of whoop a*s and start delivering the pain!!!!!

    Or alternatively don’t worry. If you keep the job then wayhey, if you don’t, then you are free from that hell and can start finding a job thats better for you.

    You are a resourceful guy and I am sure you will land on your feet either way, and you know how to call if you want any advice ;)
