How Safe is Your Job?

Mine is a bit of an unknown at present, there’s talks of us being taken over and I’m not sure if it will end up being a good or a bad thing.

I’ve been looking round, but there’s not much about at the moment. Maybe it’s time for a change.

Neither of our jobs were safe. In the end we became so sick of being made redundant (six times at least for Mr N) or the tbreat of it that we both walked away.

Relatively safe. I work in a public sector statutory service so the position is protected and 2 staff have just reduced their hours making further staff cuts unlikely.

That said it's the public sector so the flip to this is non existent pay increases

I'm self-employed so it's always a bit of feast or famine. It's feast at the moment but the summer is usually a little thin.

The teenager was told that his Saturday job might be for the chop. They're reviewing all part-time contracts.

Unless you get undercut by a foreign company, then cut your prices so much (saying at the same time, sourcing cheaper materials), in the end full books no profit!

Be careful and have foresight!

Are you aware that the forums can be read by anyone? No membership of the site required.

However unlikely it may seem for the so called “vice cuntbag chancellor” to come across your post here it is possible

I've been under threat of redundancy for the last 3 months, 3rd time in 2 years since we got taken over.

No job is truly safe and certainly the concept of a job for life is very much last century.

Better to have skills that are in demand and capitalise on that demand.

Our market doesn't have the threat from us being undercut luckily.

It requires a certain skill set that fits our clients specific needs using the right equipment.

Most have been with us for decades and all our work comes from referrals, no website, social media etc.

The bit I dont understand is why you see your employers as the enemy?

They are under no obligation to employ you and in today's world at least they are.

Steer clear of the multi nationals if you want a nice work environment it's far less cut throat.

Solidly safe for another 2 years. After that, I haven't a clue and that can be thought about at another time.

If there wasn't a job with my current employer I could walk in to almost any job in my industry I wanted, due to being fucking tremendous at what I do. So my working future is certainly safe.

Ethan - Relatively safe with a very low chance of losing work but has plenty of offers if he does. Also has investments that pay a fair bit per month that would cover if all went wrong.

I like to think I’m safe in my job, all the while we have residents they will always need activities! If my colleague can keep her job (we do the same one) and has been there for a year and a half and she does fuck all then I think I am safe, the fact they battled to stop me leaving in December with one week left on my notice and I got employee of the month this month does give me a certain cushion.

I work in the public sector in one of the many one person silos. Job is relatively secure and I’d say the biggest risks are mergers or a TUPE arrangement that moves me to an organisation I don’t want to work for

I think few careers and jobs are safe and secure, in light of the rapid development and deployment of technology, including robots. This is particularly magnified due to increased global competition and the impending potential UK departure from the EU.

I am very lucky in the fact that I have a very rare skill set. I have worked at the same company's multiple times over the past 18 years I am at my current employer for the 3rd time and I keep getting invited back!

But would I class my job as safe the answer is never it's all down to something called a contract of employment and my one states that if they want to terminate my employment they are only liable to pay one month's notice period!

On the plus side I have never been asked to leave a company before so I don't see any reason for them asking me to leave now, however I keep my eyes open for opportunities and if the right one came up and I wasn't happy where I was I'd show them the same amount of loyalty as they'd show me!
