| 08:18.22 | dankolb | Hi |
| 08:20.11 | stephen | dankolb: oh, like the staff of brookes uni then, who send out mails to hundreds of students, with the full names and email addresses in either CC: or even To: |
| 08:21.50 | dankolb | Pretty much, yes. |
| 08:22.32 | dankolb | This is some 'management fad' place that sent an email to everyone in the company |
| 08:23.15 | stephen | heh, idiots |
| 08:23.21 | dankolb | Yeh |
| 08:26.08 | dankolb | "Within 5 Dimensional Management, management is defined as involving Communication, Planning, Motivating, "Selling" and Measuring and there are lots of ways of improving at these skills and hence lots to learn." |
| 08:26.14 | JD | our clerk of the council does that |
| 08:26.24 | JD | dammit dankolb is yellow |
| 08:26.58 | dankolb | No, that's just the light ;-) |
| 08:28.28 | dankolb | "To be a 5 Dimensional Manager you have to start from the basis that everyone prefers to do a good job and that everyone's job is worthwhile." |
| 08:33.35 | stephen | *cough* complete and utter bullshit *cough* |
| 08:34.21 | dankolb | No no. It's definitely a worthwhile thing for the company to spend about £250m on this stuff |
| 08:34.38 | dankolb | Not saying that my yearly salary is the same as their daily rate |

| 18:58.41 | Xiaoqi | i am making one, or rather i did make one until david deleted it |
| 18:58.45 | JD | apt is ignoring me too |
| 18:59.11 | JD | the concept of eggdrop has eluding me |

| 19:00.27 | Xiaoqi | JD: just had to download it to make my eggdrop work |
| 19:03.23 | A4266 | Xiaoqi : It fairs well |
| 19:03.29 | JD | and a few more hours in the day and a few more days in the weekend |
| 19:10.12 | Xiaoqi | A4266: did your day get better? |
| 19:11.50 | A4266 | Xiaoqi: its has thx :) |
| 19:12.19 | Xiaoqi | A4266: david deleted my bot's files and so i'm having to start again from scratch |
| 19:12.41 | A4266 | Xiaoqi !!! I hope ya punished him for that... |
| 19:14.16 | Xiaoqi | A4266: not really, it means i get to do the whole thing this time instead of him stealing the laptop half way through |
| 19:14.36 | Xiaoqi | A4266: it's gonna be called crotchet, and it's gonna be really cool |
| 19:14.41 | A4266 | Xiaoqi : hehe. So ya can hopefully get it working this time :) |

| 22:17.50 | highbury | hey guys |
| 22:17.54 | dankolb | Hi |
| 22:17.57 | skugg | how long notice do you have? |
| 22:17.58 | Leeds | you get notice? consulatation time? |
| 22:18.01 | Leeds | evening highbury |
| 22:18.05 | skugg | hi highbury |
| 22:18.09 | dankolb | Consultation time is until the 13th |
| 22:18.11 | dankolb | From today. |
| 22:18.16 | Leeds | ah |
| 22:18.32 | Leeds | we got a month... then a month in leui of notice |
| 22:18.41 | highbury | causeway shutdown? |
| 22:18.54 | dankolb | Not yet. |
| 22:19.00 | dankolb | Just 'reorganising' |
| 22:19.20 | dankolb | And cutting back expenditure. |
| 22:19.21 | Leeds | you up for any payment? or not enough seniority? |
| 22:19.38 | dankolb | Only worked there 9 months |
| 22:20.07 | Leeds | I was lucky - had 22 months, but they paid up anyway |
| 22:20.35 | highbury | I wasn't so now I've got to take them to court |
| 22:22.27 | dankolb | :-/ |
| 22:22.32 | dankolb | Redundancies suck. |
| 22:23.05 | Leeds | redundancy rules... |
| 22:23.51 | Leeds | did for me... got cash, a month off, and a better job (in the end) at a (much) better company |
| 22:24.53 | dankolb | I don't know if I'll get redundancy payoff |
| 22:25.49 | dankolb | They should compensate me for untaken holidays, though |
| 22:26.24 | Leeds | they told us to take them during the consultation, I think... although that may be illegal |
| 22:26.32 | Leeds | could be worse... |
| 22:26.48 | dankolb | I don't think that you're obliged |
| 22:26.57 | dankolb | I was told I can take time off for job interviews |
| 22:27.04 | dankolb | And spend work time/resources on job hunting |
| 22:27.10 | Leeds | I'd just bought a flat in London - the redundancy came through on Thursday, contract completed on Friday... |
| 22:28.13 | Leeds | we had already stopped all our work by that point - so the consultation month was largely "come into office to use 'net and go to interviews" - we had companies come in and recruit onsite |
| 22:28.15 | dankolb | That was lucky. |
| 22:28.44 | dankolb | Still, at least I can do some playing things like IPv6 without bothering about other work |
| 22:28.53 | Leeds | I never got around to telling the bank about it :-) |
| 22:30.05 | stephen | heh |
| 22:31.04 | JD | dankolb: do you want me to check employment law for you? |
| 22:31.49 | dankolb | If you're bored, and it's part of the course :) |
| 22:31.50 | dankolb | But I don't officially have a contract |
| 22:31.57 | dankolb | so I can't really get too arsey |
| 22:32.02 | JD | well that is bad to start with |
| 22:32.17 | skugg | weak case there then :( |
| 22:32.20 | JD | they should have given you one with in the first month of employment |
| 22:32.34 | JD | well particulars of employmnet |
| 22:32.36 | dankolb | Heh. Some people were working for 3 years without a contract |
| 22:33.05 | dankolb | :) |
| 22:33.19 | JD | well it refered to a document that doesn;t exist |
| 22:33.34 | *** join/#gllug Xiaoqi (~nikki@195.137.107.7) |
| 22:33.37 | dankolb | Heh |
| 22:33.48 | JD | and as that document would effectly be part of the contract I couldn;t sign |
| 22:33.51 | Xiaoqi | hi all |
| 22:34.11 | JD | back again? |
| 22:34.33 | Xiaoqi | yeah, told me to reconnect |
| 22:36.25 | JD | who did? |
| 22:36.36 | dankolb | The voices |
| 22:37.18 | Xiaoqi | nope, the people who run freenode |
| 22:37.26 | dankolb | Heh |
| 22:38.01 | JD | dankolb: looks like you need 2 years service for redundancy pay |
| 22:38.06 | dankolb | Yeah |
| 22:38.11 | JD | but the lack of written contract shouldn;t be a problem |
| 22:38.12 | dankolb | I thought it was 1 year |
| 22:38.54 | Xiaoqi | dankolb: how long had you worked there? |
| 22:39.07 | dankolb | 20th September I started |
| 22:39.32 | Leeds | I was told 2 years... hence the 22 months mattering |
| 22:39.45 | dankolb | Ah. |
| 22:40.30 | Xiaoqi | dankolb: do you want to say hello to my bot? |
| 22:40.37 | Xiaoqi | he is very friendly |
| 22:40.51 | dankolb | Hello Clyphox |
| 22:41.00 | Xiaoqi | hehehehehe |
| 22:41.05 | JD | how many people are being made redundant |
| 22:41.07 | dankolb | He doesn't say much. |
| 22:41.54 | dankolb | JD: Not sure. One other guy in the development office. Don't know how many upstairs. In the Maidstone office, 14 people were let go. And in the Poole office, the entire development staff were let go (after that company was taken over a few months ago) |
| 22:44.00 | JD | so not many |
| 22:44.25 | JD | shame we are not hiring :( |
| 22:44.26 | dankolb | All together, about 40 people from the various offices |
| 22:44.46 | dankolb | Ah well :-/ |
| 22:44.49 | JD | have they discuss ed alternatives with you? |
| 22:45.01 | dankolb | Alternatives within the company? |
| 22:45.13 | JD | they should allow you to suggest other ways of cutting costs |
| 22:45.36 | JD | http://www.redundancyhelp.co.uk/LegCon.htm |
| 22:45.37 | dankolb | Most of the managers have taken pay cuts. One took a 50% cut. |
| 22:45.59 | JD | hmmm another band to add to my list |
| 22:46.57 | JD | how long have you got again? |
| 22:47.12 | dankolb | Official redundancy notice will be on 13th June |
| 22:47.56 | Leeds | dankolb: unless they find a way of avoiding it in the meantime, which is of course what the consulation time is for :-) |
| 22:48.13 | JD | Leeds: yep |
| 22:48.20 | dankolb | True. But basically they said that it's not going to happen. |
| 22:48.27 | JD | and then you have 1 or 3 months notice? |
| 22:48.29 | dankolb | I don't have the programming skills to move |
| 22:48.35 | dankolb | Dunno. |
| 22:48.36 | Leeds | yeah, of course... there's no sarcastic smiley... |
| 22:49.24 | dankolb | :-/ |
| 22:49.29 | dankolb | Blah. |
| 22:50.56 | JD | so you will probbly be working until mid Aug |
| 22:51.39 | dankolb | Mid July if anything. |
| 22:52.17 | JD | but they should give you money in lieu |
| 22:52.29 | Leeds | with us, they paid for our month of notice, but didn't make us work it - money in lieu |
| 22:52.46 | JD | doh I can't read |
| 22:53.07 | JD | consultation should be 30days minimum for 20-99 people |
| 22:53.27 | Leeds | JD: is that per site? |
| 22:53.34 | JD | but then tht is per site |
| 22:53.39 | JD | yep |
| 22:53.45 | dankolb | Yeah, I think I get money in lieu |
| 22:53.56 | JD | I guess there isn;t a limit for less than 20 |
| 22:53.58 | dankolb | Hm. I don't get 30 days |
| 22:54.09 | dankolb | Or is that for 20-99 redundancies? |
| 22:54.27 | JD | 0-19 looks like 0 minumum |
| 22:54.34 | JD | 20-99 is 30days minumum |
| 22:54.39 | JD | 100+ is 90days |
| 22:54.56 | JD | so they could make you redundant tomorrow |
| 22:55.09 | dankolb | No - they've given me an official letter |
| 22:55.21 | dankolb | States that redundancy notice will be given on 13th June |
| 22:55.45 | JD | aye that is nice of them |
| 22:56.02 | Leeds | so it's not consultation time then |
| 22:56.03 | dankolb | Is that sarcastic or not? |
| 22:56.05 | JD | dankolb: do you live with your parents? |
| 22:56.07 | dankolb | Yeah |
| 22:56.15 | JD | dankolb: I think it worked either way |
| 22:56.21 | dankolb | yeah, hence me asking :) |
| 22:56.53 | JD | I'll leave it up to you to pick the one that makes me sound less of a bastard |
| 22:57.03 | dankolb | Neither does. |
| 22:57.10 | JD | damn |
