Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: !! Keeping the list alive
That is disgraceful. Here when people were let go they were at least treated properly, given good packages (over and above what was legally required), and the services of a careers counciller to help them prepare their cv, brush up on interview techniques & contact reqruitement agencies etc. Even if they were pissed at being out of a job, they had no complaints as to how the company treated them.

Time to chip in my horror story (and why I'll never do permie again). Company in OZ decided to cut down numbers. Bosses walked around with security guards into each persons office and tell them they have 5 minutes to leave to premises and give them a ticket which has a 15minute after-hours timeslot in which they will have a supervised cleanout of their desk/office etc.
They were marched down the lift and out into the street. I only knew this because the girl that gave me a lift to work phoned me from home and said "sorry, can't take you home, my job is gone"
So - if you ever get a chance to work for BHP in Australia.... :-(
Cheers
Connor
