Busy or not ?

[Evans Electric]

I get the feeling that work is drying up again , or is it just me . :C

I'd have had nothing this week without doing the Crabtree Recalls TBH.

 

[green-hornet]

I have some work booked in and loads of promises

I think it is slowing and the reason is because of the coalition government, the cuts they are planning would lead to massive loss of jobs in the construction industry.

Regeneration programs will be the first to go then new builds.

The company I work for is blowing hot and cold I think. Alot of work one minute then drying up the next.

Got one big contract coming up though that should sort us out nicely.

I take it back.

The big job has fallen through and there is now talk of people being made redundant!

Sorry to hear that, I hope another big job comes along for you all soon.

I work for a large FMCG company and we currently have our highest output and site efficiencies ever and there is a threat of redundancies looming :_|

 

[Evans Electric]

Atty ,I hate to ask this but what is a FMCG company and high site efficiencies ?

I was just wondering also ?:|

 

[green-hornet]

Fast Moving Consumer Goods?

High site efficiencies probably means turnover related pay and hours ie the more they earn the more they will let you work.

 

[PC Electrics]

Stacked out. Struggling to keep up with demand. Seriously thinking it's time to take on a "lad".

Ok get me some b&b and I will start tuesday

 

[Lee321]

isn't it a facility's management blah blah?

 

[Sidewinder]

high efficiencies in manufacturing means making more stuff to go out the door cheaper, thus possibly with less people.
