Damn it all.
Sorry if anyone takes offense to the title. I’m pretty upset about some news I heard today about my old team from my old workplace.
They all got escorted out the building today, made redundant as their jobs have just been taken over by an overseas call centre.
I feel so bad for them. I’m hoping they will get jobs where I am working at now. Fucking irrational business decisions. No one can tell me that it’s a good thing when people lose their jobs like this. Even if we are in an employment boom. I guess that means the rest of the call centre will be going soon.
If they weren’t offered jobs in the main call centre for customer service, I don’t hold out much hope for the rest of the people I have worked with over the last 4 years. It hasn’t even been three weeks since I left.

The place is falling apart without you. I had noticed that one of the rooms upstairs had been emptied of call staff about a week ago. Your timing was timely then? And I do hope that they find employment soon as it must feel horribly degrading to be made redundant during a boom time of employment. Perhaps they’ll all start driving dump trucks up north on minesites.

That sucks Lori, but im not surprised. In the end I think your team will be better off leaving that place. Call centres all over Perth are looking for people so I’m sure they will get jobs.

Look after those you love, respect and care about. I see you are doing this. Like it.
