It's been good to know you

[Len Boorman]

Christmas is coming and redundancy notices are being issued. Mine completes on 19th December and so I will not be around much.

Just like to thank everybody on the Forum for their help and guidance over the years. It has been a real pleasure to "meet" you all.

If anybody hears of the need for an Access Person in the Warwickshire area then i will be checking in now and again.

Once again thanks to everybody.

Best Regards

Len

Really sorry to hear that. I was lucky, a few years back, when my employers decided to cut a hige number of jobs. I wasn't affected, but really felt for those who were.

Good luck in the future and, fingers crossed, we'll see you back on the forum before too long.

Len,

This is a sad thing. A man with your capabilities being made redundant.
I think we need to thank you for your great contribution and help you gave to me and many others . I sincerely hope you will be able to find something else in the Warwickshire area.

Again, a great thanks from the dark and wet lowlands and hope that your
X-mas days will pass in a positive way.

Cheers, Ron

'Redundancy notice' - What the heck is that? Like you're being laid off (Losing your job?)?

???

I have you details on hand in case something pops up.. ..

so don't let this get you down . enjoy your xmas and worry about next year in the new year ..

Len,

Very sorry to hear this.

It may sounds easier than done, but the sooner you get out and about, the better your prospect of getting new job will be. Best of luck.

I am very sorry to hear that.

I am a very big believer of the "When one door closes, another one opens' attitude myself as it has always worked out that way for me. The transistion going from on door to the other was NERVER fun though.

Good Luck, I'm sure we'll see you around sooner than you think!

 

[David Eagar]

Bah Humbug - In the short time I have been here, your contributions have helped me a lot
Very good luck for the future

Best wishes for a successful transition to something else, Len.

 

[Len Boorman]

Many thanks for the comments.

Ken. Redundancy Notice. Mean your skills are no longer required andtherefore neither are you. Does not mean you are crap at what you are doing, just that company have decided those skills are not relevant tothem any more. Sort of a kick in the whatsits saying that your skills now having nothing to offer the company


Yup had an inkling it was coming but it has rather surprised me how it has affected me. Started work on 16 July 1962 and never been out of work since.


Talking to myself and winding up the elastic so should be up and running again in a day or so. Full throttle after christmas

Cheers

Len

Sorry to hear it Len... I guess most of us are just a notice away from looking for work. Sounds like you're already regrouping - Might be the start of something better fo you anyway -

 

[Brianwarnock]

Sorry to read this Len, and not to put to fine a point on it , it is a real bummer at your age, too many employers think the brain stops at 50 or earlier, I was lucky and was given early retirement so could afford to work for a charity for peanuts.

Hope something interesting comes up soon.

Brian

 

[BarryMK]

It's a rotten thing to happen Len but I hope there's something good just around the corner. Thanks for your help in the past and I hope your soon to be ex employers start having problems only you could solve.

Look in every now and then. Cheers Barry

 

[Jacob Mathai]

Sorry to hear about your job situation. Keep your cool and look for a new job. I believe you will come out ahead. There is a job waiting for you, you will have to find it. Enjoy your holidays! Good luck in job hunting! When you get a new job, please let us know.

Good morning Mr. Boorman

I guess we all have to go thru this at some point in time during our life.

The very same thing did happen to me some years back .... yes, it is quite a shock, however it is not your fault, in case the guilt feeling starts to set in.

I took it as a good chance to regroup and rest up, and then decided that I would form my own company. You certainly seem to have the talent. I've had no regrets in doing so.

Also, I feel that you would be doing yourself a disservice by not "showing" up in the forum and keep on providing the forum with your inciteful answers and words of wisdom.


Best regards and the best of luck and most of all Chin Up.

Hey,

Sorry to hear about your bad news, hope you manage to find a job soon

This thread made me wonder if Access use was being phased out by .NET, winFX ect.
Do you think thats happening?

Maybe its a good time to learn .net or sql server or oracle or something like that?

Anyway not meaning to derail the thread....I wish you all the best and good luck

 

[Rich]

Best wishes for the future Len, whatever direction your career takes you

 

[MrsGorilla]

Sorry to hear that Len. But I know you'll regroup and I wish you the best going forward. I agree that you'll still need to pop in and visit from time to time. You have a lot of knowledge, it would be almost criminal not to share it.

 

[Rabbie]

Sorry to hear your news Len. I have been there and know how hard it can be. Just remember there are jobs out there for someone with your skills so good luck. Keep coming here to give us the benefit of your advice and knowledge.
