Ahhh a follow up??

Long story short... the last week at work has been a shit, I have had to try and give the company I work for a reason that they not make me redundant....

Suffice to say, they made the decision to keep me.. and as of midday today, my workload kind of increased

Ahhhh. I've been through that too. It sucks. My company decided that a few people were 'redundant' about a month ago. I knew some of the guys pretty well, some of them had families and were all of a sudden in a position to have to find work when there isn't much work to find.

I can relate to that, the upside here though was that they did not drag their asses in between telling us and the decision, it was only a week...

And the good point was that the girl they let go had no family or kids to worry about, only herself... still makes me feel bad for her regardless, but its the sign of the times, I can only breathe for so long

30 years, for me. Why make money for others.

Hmm... you got a point there, but then again, working for the others means I don't have to worry about the rest that went into running a business in the first place

but you have to worry about a job and downsizing.

This is true... but then again, I am now the only person in my company that does the job I do..... But, I also know that I am not expendable... but for now, I just have to work and ignore the childish fucks that are left behind

Congrats on being your own boss for 30 years and on your retirement!

I think being self employed carries a lot more risk than being an employee of somebody else. On the other hand, higher risk = higher reward.

This is exactly the point... I was my own boss some years back.. and one sale alone took me in all 4 hours work and about £150 layout on ads and expenses... And the result was a payday of £3500... but yeah.. the risks were big.. hence I now work for someone else

In that case I'm niche hunting.

Hmmm, I have to wait a while, but then the job I do is not entirely short of persons that would be able to do it... But then again, for them to get the person they want... means they'd have to get me to train them
