Roger Smelly Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I only give sympathy to people who need it, people who are ill etc. Like the other poster's have said move on, turn a negative into a positive, pull your socks up and start looking. Nothing said when abbey national packed up and laid of 170+ jobs. After all we only go to work for the money. I have just stumbled across this You Tube clip of an ex employee of charterhouse, he must be copying the other guy who was on manx radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddavid1111 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I got official notification in the post today,1 weeks redundancy for each year, terrible! My Manager told me we would be officially told after Easter about the complete breakup of the company. More redundancies today,some really nice people,more tomorrow I am sure. The Redundancy number has officially gone over 100 people and is not slowing down,my Manager says it will hit 150. For my friends that are still there,it is terrifying as they are waiting for a call to be told they are gone too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Very sorry to hear that, an unsettling and worrying time. My remarks above were directed at Copycat who has the knack of posting drivel! I do hope you and your ex-colleagues find alternative employment quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddavid1111 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have only 2 weeks left before I am made redundant,I really can't wait,the atmosphere in the office is poisonious. My Manager told me this morning the official line on Eugene Lantry ex CEO; "David Dean removed Eugene from his post as he was unhappy with the direction Eugene had taken the company,David was also concerned about some of Eugene's appointments and staff promotions particularly in Sales David will take lead of the company and lead it thru its dark hours which will leave the company eventually with no more than 40 employees" I hope to find a job In Douglas,and will probably sell up out of Ramsey altogether,it could become a ghost town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I hope to find a job In Douglas,and will probably sell up out of Ramsey altogether,it could become a ghost town Rubbish. Ramsey has loads of jobs and potential - and this 'gap' will probably be filled within a couple of months. Get a grip! - it's 20 miles to Douglas - I have to drive all over the bleedin UK.

ddavid1111 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I am not sure if it is a very sick joke or a massive mistake. A colleague rang me to say the new Charterhouse website is advertising for jobs. They have just let go nearly 200 people and damaged the economy in Ramsey and they are looking for staff. Whatever it is,it is certainly another PR disaster for Charterhouse and David Dean I am very upset about this! I think all staff who lost their jobs will also be very offended www.charterhouseplc.com (on the bottom of the home page) I also notice all the previous Director names have been removed bar David and Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I see no job vacancies. Perhaps you should actually check these things out before posting them up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcCann Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 It's a mistake. The link doesn't lead anywhere. The number of times that website has changed in the last few days I am not surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Its very sad that people have lost their jobs. They say any publicity is good, that figures, I had never heard of Charterhouse before they sacked the people, a lot of free advertising and a clean out to boot (perhaps it has something to do with the new UK tax laws) anyway look on the brightside, money isnt everything and the Mooragh Park is free I can think of worse places to be made redundant in so close to the summer.

puddy Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I know somebody who applied for a job at Charterhouse the same day the redundancies were announced. I honestly thought they were taking the piss when they told me. Anyway, unlike some other posters, I do feel sorry for Ramsey people who may now have to work in Douglas. I live in Ramsey and so far I've never been lucky enough to work there, and no matter what anyone says, I know after seven years that the daily journey to and fro over the mountain can be depressing. By working in Douglas you miss out on everyday life in your home town and sometimes you do wonder if the extra money you earn is worth the time you waste every day just getting to work. My friend has recently got a new job in Ramsey and has never been happier or had a more tidier, organised life. Good luck to everyone who's lost their job and I hope they find something better.

I hope to find a job In Douglas,and will probably sell up out of Ramsey altogether,it could become a ghost town FFS Ramsey IS already a ghost town. Do you not own a car? Its as if a job in Douglas is like being asked to move to Uganda or something. Get a grip. Its only the Isle of Man. The parochial attitude of some people is simply unbelievable particularly people who supposedly work in international finance. If people chose to do a job where they have to travel then that is their choice. Personally, I choose to do a job that is as close to home as possible so that I can have a life outside of work during the week as well as at the weekends. Criticising someone else's distress at the change in lifestyle that an extra commute will cause is just boorish and rude. If you choose a job that involves travel don't moan about it - and don't use it as a stick to beat others with just because they have made a different choice. For those of us that have chosen quality of life over work it IS a big deal, even a change of 20 miles or so puts over an hour onto your day and means that you can't go home at lunch times to get little jobs done / check on animals, kids , etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now drive 11 but would dearly love to be able to walk to work like I used to when I was 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
