A whatsapp group has been created, but so far the only real information I've received has been not to come into work anymore..
I only bought a pint of milk yesterday and put it in the fridge there... Guess I wont be getting that back.. bastards!
I asked the management about possible transfers or even an expected redundancy payout date.
very slim chances any other store will have the money to take us on, and infact cuts are probably going to made.
But thats just more speculation.
As for reduncancy... have to claim that shit from the government it seems..
I'm not expecting much, been there 10 years and 4 months but our contracted hours are always low, which is I imagine what they'll base the payouts on, not overtime etc.. might get a couple weeks holiday paid in leiu though.. if I'm lucky!
Seems like I have a lot of free time and no info as to what to do.
Don't know whether to go and sign on tomorrow morning as I'm not actually sure if I'm still classed as employed or what... but I kinda fancy signing on asap so I can get a free dental checkup, an eye test and my next lot of meds.... heheh oh I shall rinse it while I can!
Then again I've paid in the last 14 years so I shouldnt really feel that scummy about it.
I've not been told if we're going to be paid any notice period either? Ie I'm expecting atleast the 5 days I've worked this month so far, but I'm not sure if we'll be paid 4 weeks notice and redundancy or how it works...
Suppose I should stop thinking about it and just wait for official correspondance...
Hope it all goes well.

Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Hope that the shit isn't too deep or too extensive.
Proper shit.
Really weird just not having to go into work... Finding it hard to relax at the moment and enjoy the downtime.
Sorry for your job loss though. Good luck with the next stage.
Closure of the fantastic Fopp in Oxford next to the bus/coach station is also a great disappointment. My commiserations to all the staff who work(ed) there. Hope you land on your feet again.
just on Oxford St? If it’s not the original shop, or at least site, then it doesn’t really count.
Presumably the rent - if they don’t own the building - and rates are eye-watering there, so can understand it. Sad for the staff since it’s not their fault...

Last time, it did close, but reopened in the same location 3 years ago.
Sad for workers at the affected stores.
It moved some years back, then in recent years moved back..
I think.
Or something like that...
