    plus I didn't say this at all here but last year my company closed, I would say due to Brexit tbh... bit of trump in there too.

    I got 3 job offers and walked into new job of my choice a month before the final closure. I was offered a job in the USA where they moved r&d jobs but I told them to stuff it.

    I'm only looking for more senior position if there's one out there.

    True <laugh> We had another meeting today. the figure the MD mooted for the buy-out was 120K. There's only the manc bitch who can potentially do that, but they won't be offered that figure. There's also less timescale pressure than initially imagined, so it's not serious pressure <ok>

    What do you actually do, without being too specific? <laugh> It has nothing to do with Brexit, by the way. Both of them have final salary pensions and were made an offer by the pension company to take them now before the structure changes. If we don't buy it, it'll go to a trade sale where they'll lose money, but TUPE would apply, so I'd be OK. If they wind it up, I'll get redundancy, and they'll lose money there as well. I'd have to get a new job then.

    Yes I hate being specific :bandit: you stalking bartards...

    I am quasi R&D and quasi capital project management/ innovation/cost reduction, depending onwhat i dream up. Currently working on materials science in medtech.

    in other words i do faff all.

    You should be fine as long as you have strong client companies mate, If they get bought out and merged with some other company then in theory it will be an office move (you said they sold the building already so they are smart feckers)

    Sounds like you should be sending me your CV <laugh> The sale of the building was coincidental to where we're at now. It was the pension offer that triggered it.

    That bloke's just accepted the 110 K offer. That sorts my holiday in Mexico with my eldest in the summer <laugh> I really didn't think he'd go for it. The pulling power of molecularly-imprinted polymers <laugh>

    Took a tumble on the way to meet my lift this morning. Patch of black ice on the pavement. Foot went from under me, twisted and grazed the side of my knee. Not a full-on contact, thanks ****. Dread to think of the repercussions <yikes>

    I actually just ordered some new smart shoes with rubber soles. Could’ve got some similar ones with a leather sole but they’re slick as hell and in uk (especially winter) weather get ruined after about a couple of wears.

    I wear Clark’s desert boots and those things are a death trap after a while and the soles smooth out, any moisture on a smooth surface and your feet go, I once got taken about by them in the train station, hit the deck hard !!
