Escobarp Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 How are the two stories linked? Out of interest?

That is to say, these redundancies may be largely offset by the news that Aldi are opening up more stores/jobs. I'd have thought that didn't need explaining to an intelligent chap like your good self. Much more of this, and I'm calling it a day at 28,500 posts.

It’s grim news indeed and tbh the areas they are shedding jobs won’t be in the same areas in the main as Aldi’s potential recruitment. asda is being broken up to pay for the acquisition. Most of the job losses I think they are forecasting will be replaced by new jobs in online grocery so you would hope a lot will find new positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched old Ruth giving her a going over before Jackie Bailey jumped in as well. Then I had to focus on keeping the wheels of the economy turning to support all the lazy work shy cunts sat at home. but what I saw made pleasant viewing.

Asda is shit anyway; fuck em. Vauxhall is the one to watch for bad news. First PSA then a merger with fiat/chrysler. Something likely to give somewhere.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 25, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2021 Some of the footage of her yesterday was quite familiar. When asked a question; she dismissed it out of hand, launched personal insults, cried conspiracy and even laughed a little as if the question was peurile. Bluff and bluster maybe. Now then, she could be right, but evidence suggests there is a hell of a lot for her and her colleagues to answer. Perverse as it may be, she's increasingly resembling Trump.

You're right Asda is shit, so fuck them, and anybody who works for them Vauxhall has been teetering on the edge for years, they'll eventually shut the Luton facility down, there's no doubt about that, but i think that was always on the cards, not really anything to do with Brexit.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 25, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2021 A funny one this. On occasions, at Downing Street briefings, Boris et al have been asked non-pandemic related questions, and have generally answered them. However answers have been brief and of "straight bat" nature. This lady, however has turned full circle. I saw a clip last night of the two fish hugging at some event or other, and she didn't look particularly comfortable. I reckon, like the new American leader, he might he quite a tactile chap, but that isn't an offence in itself. Perhaps it was the inner rug muncher being repulsed.

They shouldn't, remember, it's everyman for himself these days - there will be winners and losers, if you're a winner then that's great, if you're a loser then it's either tough shit or an opportunity to learn a new skill (depending on how you see it personally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's a fantastic opportunity for all the workers to go an get an apprenticeship elsewhere and learn new skills Skills very readily transferable you would imagine, and with new initiatives to help with any necessary retraining, opportunities will be there. No doubt there will be mass media doom and gloom, and several thousand people suddenly developing mental health issues because that's what they're told will happen. Lots of folk on social media will make tenuous links and silly jibes to no great effect. Meanwhile, odd ball that he is, Elon Musk will continue his pioneering approach the the future of cars, and the more sustainable concept of keeping a vehicle for longer and just replacing its battery. Other visionary entrepreneurs will find novel approaches to the green future and the natural shift of jobs will continue as it always has.

The news channel just has a ticker of doom on it. Anyway, what are you doing at the moment? Looking at a career change last time weren't you?
