tearful descibes last night.
FIRSTLY I MUST SHOUT AT THOSE THAT PLANNED ALL THIS.
Just a short message from thse in the know to people "saying keep your eyes open for a job guys" As it was, they were probably scared most people would walk out leaving the fiasco to fall to peices before they were ready to take their cut.
Stupidly, most long timers such as I (9 years) would have rallied and pulled out all the stops to help should they have told us. That's your loss Richard.
there is a good chance we'd have stayed for a pay cut. thoses that decided to leave may have been large numbers but i doubt it would have been much different to those that were dumped.
Giving staff no information was WRONG
"managers" telling everyone the rumours were not true was WRONG (i use the term manager as a name not a description of what they did)
WE ALL SAW the stock moving to TIME over the last few weeks. stock that was already paid for by customers and just needed building or shipping.
EVESHAM was more than a place, it was filled with some of the best people i know i will ever meet.
ONCE AGAIN, JUST A MESSAGE SAYING "JOBS ARE AT RISK" WOULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF HERATACHE. BUT NO, YOU WERE SCARED PEOPLE WOULD WALK AS YOU HAD PAID THEM EARLY.
MAYBE IF YOU HAD A LITTLE MORE FAITH RICHARD YOU MIGHT HAVE DISCOVERED JUST HOW FAR THE BEST STAFF IN THE COUNTRY WERE WILLING TO GO WITH YOU
I am sad, very sad, but there is a GROUP of people at evesham that don't need to work in the same place to keep freindships made at Evesham into the rest of thier lives.
look this GROUP up on face book, just type in evesham for those lost on Monday. some solace can be gained from good freinds should you need it.
