Interweb is brilliant in't it ?

Now I am suspended from my job I have been spending a lot of time online and I was just thinking how different it is to be made redundant now compared to even 15 years ago.

I can :
  • easily keep in touch with ex colleagues from work.
  • easily search and apply for jobs online - even jobs in other countries.
  • explore other options such as my own enterprise or new training.

Just imagine before internet, or before internet was widely used how isolated you might feel being out of work and how hard it might be to find a new job or anyway a job that suited you.

The problem for me is more not knowing what will happen to my current eomployer and if they will survive and take me back. Until that is clarified I can't really look for another job, can't even relax or go on holiday though as we could get called back anytime.

    15 years ago the press would probably not have kept us so well informed about the Sterling-drama as they have. Imagine that the bankrupcy estate have had to come out with press releases to prevent the press writing too much nonsence. That is apparently the way to inform the "old" employees nowadays whether we like it or not.
