I was told yesterday that the Finance Director of our company has been put in charge of looking at overheads - in order to make us look more attractive to potential buyers over the next few months.

Apparently, according to this Finance Director, our Cambridge office is the most expensive - despite us renting the size of a postage stamp, accommodating only 3 people. Commercial space in Cambridge is sky-high.

So, my frosty-but-warm boss has said uncertain times follow in the next month or so. The closure of the office will mean a 50-mile daily hike to Ipswich - not the most attractive looking place I've ever been.

I suppose I could leave - but that means paying back the six grand for my relocation costs - which will put me in real financial debt.

So, I guess a job is a job until we find a prospective buyer - which is dragging on very slowly. The leadership team at our Stratford office have been put in charge of producing an info pack for the buyers. They have a reputation for poncing about though. Instead of having a one-to-one meeting which gets to the answer in 30mins, they decide to have teleconference call with about 10 people that lasts 4 hours. Pointless and irrelevant. God help us. Where do we find these idiots?

Sorry peeps, just fed up with the structuring of this company. I joined in Jan 05 and within 3 months was told redundacies were on the cards. Then by May 05 we merged our northern and southern operations together to save money. This meant no longer working with the two guys who interviewed & hired me but some young 'management' guy from our Manchester office who I'd only see once a week. In the summer of 05 I switched to work for another division, covering two regions - which then restructured in Jan 06. I had a choice. Stay in Slough with the Southern business or move to the Eastern Business. I chose the Eastern option as it was agreed to rent space in Cambridge. In Sept 06 our Slough office closed with staff either moving to London or Stratford-upon-Avon. Now it's spring 06 and I may be moving offices again to Ipswich. I wish they would make their bloody minds up. It's like musical chairs!

You wait, we will be bought by another company and restructured - only to find our Ipswich office is moving someplace else.

All-in-all I love my job and the industry that I am in - just a shame of its pitfalls and constant re-jigging. But I guess most companies are like that these days. I blame the economy we live in. We live in a world of risk and enticement.
