That is disgraceful. Here when people were let go they
were at least treated properly, given good packages (over and
above what was legally required), and the services of a
careers counciller to help them prepare their cv, brush up on
interview techniques & contact reqruitement agencies etc. Even
if they were pissed at being out of a job, they had no complaints
as to how the company treated them.

Time to chip in my horror story (and why I'll never do
permie again). Company in OZ decided to cut down
numbers. Bosses walked around with security guards
into each persons office and tell them they have 5
minutes to leave to premises and give them a ticket
which has a 15minute after-hours timeslot in which
they will have a supervised cleanout of their
desk/office etc.
They were marched down the lift and out into the
street. I only knew this because the girl that gave
me a lift to work phoned me from home and said "sorry,
can't take you home, my job is gone"
So - if you ever get a chance to work for BHP in
Australia.... :-(
Cheers
Connor
