Recession???? What Recession (35)
Well my view is yes it'll be hard but will be good for us in the long run. As I said in a previous post, I believe we all need a reality check and to prioritise. It'll make us appreciate what we have a little more
On that note I leave you all to go to my unsafe job

well just got rostered 24 hrs this week which means im on standby for any shift available to make up my hrs reason being that one of the places i was working cut back night hrs
one of the things i hate about my job is they giving lot of the hrs to new guys who on lower wages and keeping us longer term guys on low hrs

I think so too,
OFF the point but a little related, the pounds are packed to capacity and having to turn away dogs, as so many are being brought in. Latest excuse was they cant afford to feed them with the way things are going!! Eh, what did dogs eat yrs ago before people had money?? Poor dogs, id take one only ive no where to put him.

I so agree with SG on the reality check bit but also I do think we've benn talked into Depression .... Recession has actually been around 18mths+ and we all still survived. Media just getting onto the bandwagon now .... and what about after 9/11 .... what was that? Dont remember them calling any recession rain dance then but lots of people lost jobs after that but wasn't the same talk about it. Personally suffered 2 redundancies in 2001 and 2004!
Mistakes of the government finally have come to the surface and they have to use recession word to cover it up .... Companies are jumping on the band wagon too as so many have wasted money its easier to let go then completely change their ways.
jmo of course
While financially its scary (but I have been self employed for over 2yrs so I know what scary is that long) I'm loving it! We can finally stand up for ourselves and demand a better service, quality and price!
The customer can be right not dismissed! Plus children can start being children again and not spoit brats. Snobs can come down of their high horses and we can all be the true Irish again that the we were once before and loved for! 
boredguy: OK ... According to government statics the economy
has sunk to 2004 levels ... which i taught was a great year!!!
Well I was in pricing a job yesterday nothing usually about that !!! repainting of a service dept.. the price i had given well would keep most people employed for a month or two.. so i have the job ... great like.. but here's the catch .. not to do it now! As they were letting someone go..so i played along.. The girl has 3 kids, alright she married, with them 5+ years .. but on a great salary ..and i got the feeling the recession was been used as and excuse ..to let her go get rid of some of the deadwood Now i know there are a few girls on here on temporary notice like or have lost there jobs An god love ye it hard enough went your married (WITH 2 WAGES) So i guess my question is this am i right in thinking this girl was let go for greed ..
What are your views on the state of the country / recession your stories how has it affected you or yours..or is a load of crap .....

i know what you mean the same here most places i know are looking to cut back on their staff, as soon as christmas is over, unemployment is on the rise and its only going to get worse before it gets better.

i can understand ple wanting to work in the type of job they want to but you still get a job now might be crap job boring tedious or relatively low pay but still a job back then you were working for same as what you get on dole and any job would do

Thats all we hear about these days, job losses. so what chance do we have, i'm even thinking of doind another course for the time being, just to have something to do, not be stuck on my but all day.

Im having to probably move abroad to get a secretarial job, even though Ive been doing it for over 20 years and am very experienced. Its the emmigration thing all over again. Very sad.
I try to be understanding, but I DO find it a tad annoying when you walk into shops these days, and struggle to find an employee who speaks English. No Irish people seem to have preference these days. Just seems so unfair, somehow..
Trouble is, back in the days of the Celtic Tiger, most "meneal" jobs had to be taken by immigrants, as the natives wouldnt take them - too lowly. Seems we are getting our comeuppance, a little. JMO
