Just my luck

Well joined a new company a few weeks ago and now find out that all my old colleagues are coming to me new company.

CS have termintated the contract with my old company and in the process of crushing it, with staff TUPE across.

Oh well time to look again. Just too much history..

It's either
a) No longer what I was wanting
b) People I don't want to work with TUPE across
c) My remaining mates loosing their jobs.
d) I'm in the cross fire atm

It's never nice seeing a company crushed

******** to it

Yes and no. More for a clean break so I can try and get on with my career. I got pigeon holed at a client's site at my old company.
