Looks like Mr DTM was right about the NHS.

I've just been told that my contract will not be renewed. Reason being "I'm too skilled for the role, and they're worried I'll get bored and not give long service".

First time I've ever faced not having a job!!

NO!  

Really sorry to hear that.

I'm sure something better is just around the corner......

[jules]

James, I feelfor you mate, I'm in exactly the same boat and with the frickin NHS too.

Bunch of barstewards !!!!

My contract finishes at the end of June and my so-called manager has decided to outsource because he doesn't want the hassles of being a manager

Very sorry to hear about that James. I hope that all goes well in the long run. I am sure that you will find something even better.

All the best

Steve.

thats a bugger james !! what you gona do now fella  :question

Considering getting some liability insurance and doing some mobile mechanics in the interim.

I'm pretty good and I'm sure there would be enough demand.

I have some longer term plans, but they don't come into play for a little while...

[markey mark]

sounds like a good plan that matey !!

[Kevin Wood]

Really sorry to hear that, mate.  

Makes no sense, really. "We think you're over qualified, and will eventually jump ship, so we'll push you overboard instead".  

I do hope something else comes along.

Heres a saying in my language translated "one door will close and another will open in your chance"  

Dont worry , you are a young man and can find a better job !!

[Growler]

Sorry to hear that mate,

Sometimes these things are a blessing in disguise, but I am sure it doesn't look like that at the moment  :-/ I'm sure in 6 months time you'll look back and think differently.

[LJay]

Sorry to hear about your job James! At least you have your mechanicing skills to fall back on. Good luck.

if this means you will be unemployed, i'm pretty sure there's grounds for unfair dismissal as "too skilled" is frankly a bull***t reason to dismiss you, they're saying they're getting rid of you even though you're capable of doing the job, whether you're overqualified or not!

 

sorry to hear it, i hope you get some good out of it

I may just become an LPG installer

If you do let me know, as you are quite local.

Good point, although I guess you haven't served that long a period so your rights might not be that strong. Were you a permanent employee or contractor?

If it's the former and you have worked out your probation it's a very strange reason for dismissal, I agree.

That reminds me. Must phone Jeremy. 8-)
