    I was wondering why I saw Jim Fahy setting up camp opposite Flemmings on the Tuam Road earlier. Commiserations, blond45, and I hope your husband is seen right with redundancy and finds another job.

    Im in the Cork Warehouse I only heard a rumour of it on Monday in work and didn't know anything more until I read of a meeting in the local paper. Checked online and put up the link to the article!

    Thats terrible news. Jim Fahy is the bad news merchant during these times. Once you see him in your area, you know some bad news is going to break.

    Blond45, my sympathies, hope your husband can find another job, or gets a move to Kildare.

    To be fair, it's actually better that the announcement to staff and the media is well managed: can you imagine how bad it would be if a staff member heard, and shortly afterwards met a journalist who didn't know. And as soon as staff get out of the meeting where they're told, they start ringing mates in other companies and/or recruiters: it can be really messy if stories get into the newspapers this way rather than by having the official version. So of course top management need to know, and to issue embargoed information to the press.

    And it's not good for staff in other branches to pass on rumours either: if the rumours are untrue, they can destroy a perfectly good busineess for nothing.

    single no.. kids no.. driver no... you dont know that we will lose what ever poition we have now cause they are still in talks about it.. jeerin thats up to them there has never been any loyalty between all the sites in cork and kilcock... going to kilcock wouldnt suit the drivers cause they would have to drive up then hop in a lorry go driving then drive home and the way things are here with jobs we might have no choice but to go but hopefully it will work out for us all... including ur husband and the end of the day i am in the same boat as him
