P45

....showed up on the doormat this morning. Just part of the outsourcing
process - I wasn't expecting it but I realised why it had appeared straight
away. Wandered into the kitchen with it, announced I'd just been sacked.
"See, P45."

..../eppy/.

/me cowering in the corner, trying to explain that it was just a little
joke...

....*double eppy*.

'kin 'ell...

*snort*. Women, eh?

I had one of those a couple of years back, when my company changed names
/ organisations / tax arrangements / some shit I don't understand.

Gets the old blood moving, dunnit?

"Bankruptcy" to shed debts then arise phoenix-like from the ashes as a new
company with the same premises, directors, phone numbers etc?

Entire body, you mean. Duck and cover. Can't risk taking a serious hit in
my weakened state.

No, oddly enough. It was a tactical renaming move to lose some
connotations from our "old" name. For some reason "they" chose to
reincorporate at the same time. Dunno why, and don't really care all
that much.

You need to look for a medpack. They're green rucksacks hanging on the
wall. They have a red cross on them. If you can get body armour, that's
good too.

A plasma cannon could come in handy while you're about it.

I suppose I should really have precannulated...

I unleashed a tactical grovelling self-abasement. Seemed to work.

Ooh, good move. *Good* move. If you hit
Ctrl-Alt-F1-Backspace-Right-Button at the same time, whilst aiming at
her mouth, you'll get a most interesting visual effect.

Turn the speakers off first, though.

platypus says...

I fucking hate cannulas.

 

Too much of a faff. I just hit the Any key and continue.

No need, I never actually listen anyway.

 

Count yourself lucky it wasn't rigatoni.

Yeah, that'd be way pasta joke.

Oh for ****'S sake! It was obvious, someone had to do it. Give me a
break here. If I hadn't someone else would have.

You'd have to convincingly terrify me...

 

Sorry to hear that... What are you going to do?

I haven't been sacked, YTC - I'm getting outsourced to IBM as of
tomorrow[1]. Receiving my P45 in the post is just part of the process.

[1]They're calling it "1/11" round here...

 

Might come in useful. Are you sure you wouldn't rather be a co-respondent?

 

Niiiiiice.

Too cryptic, not quite sure here. Are you seriously saying you have been
made redundant and the first you knew
was by Post?

If that's so they are very in the shit legally. There is a requirement in
law to notify and to consult. You can get an injunction of the bastards to
prevent them acting until they have followed due process.

Now there *is* a kicker in this because if they are offering you very
favourable terms to FOAD quietly they may withdraw them if you don't
connive at the quietly bit. But if there is no deal grab them by the
fucking throat and squeeze.

Union, CAB or solicitor may all help.

Go and read the post again, he's saying he's been outsourced YTC.

His current employer sends him a P45, then the outsourcer takes on his
employment contract, under TUPE.
