    Our part of the business lost money last month, we put it down to Christmas/New Years holidays, the weather etc but February wasn't much better in truth!!

    The boss of the parent company & group is here today along with a HR bird (bet she's a nice tight pussy) so its looking like we're being shut down!!!

    There's me & another guy on temporary contracts so we'll be the first out the door as the rest have longer term deals they'll probably get a month/3 months notice.

    Thing is we've just got through to the final stages of getting exclusive work for npower which would be a 3 year contract to do all their debt collection, process analysis & query resolution for Gas, Electric, residential, commercial - the whole lot.

    Why not wait to hear the final result in that?

    Might become a male escort to put food on the table <ok>

    That's pish Brum, recession is bound to be ending over there now eh?

    Would imagine there would be a big rise in jobs once that's over.

    Me looking for work involves asking people I used to work with via facebook if there are any jobs <laugh>

    I'm already signed up to some agencies & have had an increase of texts & emails about jobs just after Christmas but its died down since then.

    They're out of the meeting now & talking here so not sure whats going on now. They seem to be talking about contracts with clients!!

    I'll look in to that Girvan cheers <ok>

    A lad I used to work with does something similar for npower & he's on decent money.

    My long term aim has been in to getting in to Energy advisory work - working for companies to save them money from wrong billing, the wrong type of metering so maybe something like this may get me a bit of experience for that.

    I might just send my CV to all the energy companies.

    On a side note, npower can kiss my arse. A shambles of a company with shocking rates.

    npower are ****e Frank - thats why I left & spent 6 weeks in Oz......unlucky for me the recession started as I was out there!!!

    TBF most of the energy companies are **** & will do anything within their power to make more money.

    Thats why there is so much money in energy advising, all the big retailers pay a fortune for a company to check through their bills & deal with any queries there might be as they want to save as much as possible & the energy companies will try & do you unless your savvy in the industry.

    That's how I read that at first glance and immediately felt awful for you if you lost "bar in work" privileges.

    The business is conducting a review of our company over the next week. They've already said they don't give a **** about the work coming in as if its deemed the company will close they'll quite happily turn down the contract!!!

    Doesn't sound good!

    Good idea tommy <ok>

    I could go round killing innocent Afghan kids, help bomb Iraqi hospitals & get paid a fortune. & should I make a big ****ing clanger & blow myself to **** I'll be welcomed back a hero through some gay village from Midsomer Murders.

    Your right, that really is something useful.
