Unles you can explain us the legal situation in Britain, you seem to make assumptions that have not been proven. In Germany there is paragraph 613a BGB (Betriebsübergang) that grants the continuation of a job even if the company is sold. If there is something similar in Britain, your asumptions are false. > truth to FUD, like you try to do for days, if not weeks lately! The text in his Blog seems to be neutral and I cannot see a hint that proves one or the other. In Germany it is completely unusual to leave a company on days different from the end of a month or at least the mid of a month. If someone leaves at March 8th and does not immediately start a new job, this would be a hint for being fired. Without an explanation from Simon, everything is speculative. Note that Simon originially claimed that he does not yet know whet to do next. The fact that he now is a director at the OpenSource Initiative does not help us....
