So turns out Eurocom was in the #%#%'s and have just made 150 of us redundant. Nice of them to leave it til the end of the month...

Gah!!!!!!!

Owned.

Bad time of year for that to happen, my condolences.

I trust you were given adequate redundancy pay?

Beerbaron · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:37

Game over

Bah, there is never a good time for this but it certainly sucks more this time of year. I wish you all the best in finding something new asap. *hugs*

Grow up

Sorry to hear that dude :-(

Hopefully it will be a blessing in disguise and something bigger and better will come along :-)

Terrible time of the year for this to happen. Hope you get a new job soon

Yaayuh! · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:39

Unlucky dude, sorry to hear.

wait till you get made redundant then someone can say owned to you. That's if you EVER work.

Sorry to hear that dude, my position rests in the balance!

floatindolphin · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:43

cheers for nice replies (and not the nice one, quite funny!)

The redundancy fund won't pay us for 5-6 weeks, just after Xmas....

Thats awful at this time of year. I know its hard to, but look on the bright side. At least there is a redundancy fund.

Cosimo · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:47

Sorry to hear that.

Hope a new job comes to you quickly.

ChocolateStarfishRammer · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:48

Sorry to hear it mate!

Tough words but get on and accept it as quick as possible. The less time there is between this and the next job the better.

Get applying now.

DizzleDazzle · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:48

Having been in this position myself (at another games developer) i know the pain, especially as i was pretty attached to my company! Deffo not the best time though, wish you all the best in getting something new!

floatindolphin · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:49

I'm in talks with a couple of companies so fingers crossed

Just a bit scary with a 2 year old Daughter now to support

PapaLazaru · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:49

Whilst your situation is ****, it is actually a good time to be made redundant. There are a lot of shorter term opportunities in retail at the moment if you think you would be up for it.

cammy5477 · 23 Nov 2012 at 15:49

sorry to hear that mate.

news like this is never easy to take
