I lost my job All projects on hold

Post by RICKY-R69 »

Hi,as I was told today that I am being retrenched I will be putting all projects on hold. Maybe I would sell them if I need to re-locate. It. Is a pity that the current economic situation will put an end to my new found passion but I need to try and put food on the table for my family. Would have been easier if the bay was running to source an alternative income, buty such is live. I will just have to walk seeking employment. Thanks to all forum members that has given advice. Will join this forum again when I can afford it. I wish you all well. Will still visit the forum untill the end of August. Regards RICKY-R69

The saddest thing I ever had to do in my live is to tell my people working for me they had no job. One of them my own son and the others that has been working for me for 10 years. :(

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things turn around for you soon.

It's not easy, but when I found myself in the same position I tried to focus on the positives in my situation. It ended up being the greatest opportunity of my life.

Sad news Ricky, so what do you need to get the Bay running ?
Make a list so we can see whats out there.
My biggest fear is that my wife sells my cars for what i told her they cost !!

sorry to hear about your situation. things are a bit touch and go everywhere. what is important is to put yourself out there, and just maybe you'll find yourself in a job completely different to what you expected. it might even be better for you.
