I think there is hype about mass layoffs

No, there isn't.

A LOT of people have lost their job.

I lost a job, and my mother was changed to a three-day-week.

She is now signing on for the other days, so is part of the live register.

A LOT of building sites have slowed down, or stopped completely, so a lot of tradesmen are finding it hard.

That's not hype, that's a reality.

We have threatened redundancies and do you want to know whoes fault it is.

the bloody public, thats who.

they go and apply for all these grants and get loads of free money and then refuse to spend it and i have to sit in work all day reading boards.

FFS WILL YOU ALL JUST SPEND YOUR GRANT MONEY PLEASE

Send some to me.

re : me ma pfb.

I'm sure she told you herself??

Yea I'd stay there till this cools down as you will be coming back here to sign on at the current rate. This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

My quality of life is unaffected but that would change if I lost this job (no I dont post here for a livin...but I should!!:pac:)

If you have a place to sleep, can afford to eat and are comfortable then stick with it until you can get at least the same over here.

See I've got a great job and a good lifestyle but home's home and all that and I'm gonna get itchy feet soon. Decisions......

Well then like I said, ride out the storm in Oz. Sounds like you're fairly sorted there. Seriously, itchy feet and all that, will pale in comparison to the regret you'll feel if you leave all that, only to be signing on in grey Dublin. It will all still be here waiting for you in 2 or 3 years time. But you won't be able to turn the clock back and return to your cushty Ozzie ways.

Fair enough Des, probably a silly assumption on my behalf. I blame the meedja (So yeah, you better not bloody well come back Xavi)

That is a pickle alright.

Perhaps a stealth photo of a bussomy young lady from the office would solve this problem? Work tits ftw!
