Re: Scumbags

They sure are! Nothing surprises me - when we were given our marching orders on Tuesday, someone asked about the guys staying on would they get paid come Thursday and the Administrator wouldn't comment on it and kept saying 'will try our best'. At least we had a head start and completed the IS claim form that day - what's the position now for you guys walking out with your laptop under your arm and claiming - are you officially redundant as they have not paid you?

What a joke company!

Oh they knew this was coming. When notification was emailed to staff on the Monday evening, not half an hour later a further communication came from the HR Director telling individuals who were on the distribution list, attend at 10am for an 'update'. When we were all huddled in the corner of the office come 10am, with no privacy from the rest of the 'staff', the one token Director who attended didn't have the guts to talk and it was the Administrator dishing out the dirty words of non payment. Telling us to refer to the 'packs' by his side for any Q&A's regarding claiming wages through the Insolvency Service! Couldn't even be straight and say whether the people staying were going to be paid come Thursday. Kept bleating on that Terry Burt had got agreements in place with the banks but they pulled the rug on the Sunday! One ex-colleague, got made redundant the previous week, rehired the following and then made redundant again like the rest of us on the Tuesday! They even had a 'new starter' on the Monday! Within an hour our systems were disabled and laptops 'locked' so we couldn't even get any photos or personal correspondence off our laptops.
