Uhh ok??

Yes it is important to a certain extent, but this is in Britian. It wouldn't alarm me one bit. Sorry for those who got the pink slip. It's business.

Yeah and you're next! First they're gonna do some house cleaning overseas, then they'll make their way to the states! 🤣
Just kidding 😛
But really... you never know... 🙄

Starr06 said:And here I was hoping the first statement you made about the situation just happened to sound callous (sp?). Any other time someone talks up your employer's parent company, you're all giddy. Why the trite reply?

Not trite, just my honest opinion. I'm not going to walk around fearing for my job because of a strategic move overseas. If it happens here, it happens. My motto in life: Just keep movin' forward. Life goes on.
Simple.
Simple.

Especially since the UK has a civilized system of unemployment that will keep these people from going under until they can find new jobs...

Oh, inadequate? Badly managed? Tailored to suit the needs of business but not the needs of those it purports to help? Feel free to pick your own term.
