Ugh, tough break.
I'm a contractor at a large quasi-governmental organisation who's head just announced a big plan to remove all 'expensive' non-salaried staff... Same old same old really.
Enjoy Christmas and get a great new yob in the New Year!

I am also leaving a large UK Consultancy in 2 weeks - expensive Contractor - this is the second time as they did the same to me last year at Crimbo (got me back in June).
HoHum - At least I will be in Cape Town for 3 weeks whilst Brown leads the country into New Year Economic Meltdown...

Sorry to hear your news Richard.
I think that the new bloke at Woolies, Steve Johnson, was going to turn things around. Seems he's just managed to ruin a number of decent* businesses. Shame. I think there was a great opportunity there but it seems there's only bad news coming out of the whole sorry affair.
Best of luck finding work, I'm sure something will come up.

* not Woolies as it was towards the end, that needed to change. I think it COULD have been a great business given the right management
Bloody hell.
I thought EUK was just about the only part of the business that could be sold off easily.
There are going to be a hell of a lot of shops out there won't get their CD / DVD / games supplies now - including some very big names on the high street.
Hope you find something else soon.
