maxi-glasgow Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 What I don't understand is how exactly does your company see the logic in sending you home for 11 weeks and paying you full pay for 9 weeks as some way of dealing with the credit crunch? Surely if they are going to pay you full wages for 9 weeks they would be more prudent to have you working at the same time??? That makes absolutely no business sense to me? Can you tell I'm jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell I'm jealous Its very complicated to explain it all. But basically i am in the brick business. Good times will come back again and my company can not afford to lose me to someone else (i have 30 years experience). Hence thats why they are still paying me. Our site consumes approx £36000 in electric and about £80000 in gas a month alone!! Currently everything is switched off Will be looking into the grounding kits in more detail to see if i can source some different coloured cable.

Maccaman Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Could have been worse Dave, 11 weeks in the winter My eldest son works for the Columbus Brick Company in Mississippi, he's an Electrical Engineer, and they have been badly affected by the credit downturn. Having said that, they have picked up lately & are looking to switch some kilns back on in their old plant, which has been shut down for about 3 months. He's just rang to let me know that the aeroplane transporting the space shuttle has just landed at their little airport, which they were able to see it coming in from their works car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
