Matt1878 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 As some of you know by receiving some PM's off me, I have been looking for a new rear bumper in 040 for my Glanza as some titwank decided he was going to drive into my PARKED car whilst I was on holiday in Tenerife.Well the plan was to get a Varis from Iddy or look for a white with optional lip (one has now come up) However, 14 days ago I was made redundant as the company I was with was "cutting down on costs". I was one of 6 staff to get the cut :/So now I'm left with a rear bumper in a terrible state and a bit of a scrape above the passengers rear arch before Japfest and no money to do anything about it.Sorry for the rant lol just felt to need to stress a little:) haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndyR Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 How long have you been with your company for? Are you entitled to redundency pay. Speak to someone in the know about lay-offs. You may be entitled to more than you think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metalmickey0 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I know how you feel mate. Got made redundant 2 months ago for the same reason and i`d been there for 11 years so been spending a bit of redundancy on here. Getting low now so having to save til i get a new job.Little thing you could do to lighten your pain is draw on the dent and write `ouch` or some swear word to the twit that hit it in big letters, if your getting new bits it wont matter.

Matt1878 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 Only with them for 10 months mate so not entitled to anything.. I got a final £250 off them when I was actually told and that's it. Need the £250 to live on though lol :/I know how you feel mate. Got made redundant 2 months ago for the same reason and i`d been there for 11 years so been spending a bit of redundancy on here.

AndyR Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I think it's one or two years where you're entitled to a more substantial amount. Don't let it get you down though, get your CV back out there and go walk into some places and ask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't let it get you down though, get your CV back out there and go walk into some places and ask. That's all I've been doing I'm at college in September starting a Motorsport degree so I need something part time to carry through that... In 14 days I've handed/emailed around 35 CV's and heard back and had an interview for one .. Still means I'll have a shitty rear bumper for JF, gonna be letting the side down:(. Still gotta work out if I can afford the petrol there and back!! Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
