Life after redundancy
Wednesday, 19th November 2008

Well, I’ve been at my new site for 2 weeks now and yeah it’s going alright, I’m enjoying it a lot more mainly due to the fact I have a specified role and am learning new skills. I’m working with CAD systems now, putting CAD drawings onto templates of steels sheets ready for laser, plasma and water jet cutting machines to cut different shapes of steel out for the customers. Apparently the number of mistakes down to the CAD system has been substantially high over the last few years and so I’ve been brought in to help reduce the number of mistakes so it should be quite a good experience. Also the staff at my new site are a lot younger and so I feel that I fit in better here, and lots of staff nights out might be on the cards which should be good. Work would be much better if I didn’t have to start at 8.30 every morning but hey at least I’ve not been made redundant from this job just yet.
