Takes me back nearly 30 years.
Takes me back to the nineties and ICL (god rot their non-existent soul).
Twenty years working for the company as a data comms specialist. (Modems, LANs, WANs, ISDN, digital exchanges, etc.)
Having been made redundant in one division, on the last day of the ninety day notice I was offered a job in another division.
A year later that division had a 'clear out' and the axe fell again.
The last day? You've guessed it, Christmas Eve. "No need to come in before the 31st!"
The upside?
For the next successive ten years I sold my services as a freelance 'specialist' back to them at a significant mark up.
Good ole manglement, it's the same everywhere.
