Hey, your time is important. You should spend it with someone who values it. You. Or your family, friends, pets, knives, whatever.

They want you to not do overtime? Fine.

- Oh, 18h, end of my shift. I'm off. See you monday!
- But the mainframe is overheating! It just caught fire!
- No prob. It'll be the first think I'll look into. Monday. At 9h. Have a great weekend, boss!

 :salute: :tu:
But then the boss might find an excuse for a... layoff. :ahhh

On the grounds that the employees are doing their work and working the hours they are supposed to, by contract? Bring it, I love courtrooms and indemnities!

Hmmm?

The company was sold for a quid?

I've seen similar news. The fact is that the companies have debts. The buyer supports the debts and gets the assets (land, buildings, machines). They are paying much more than just £1.

Yeah I think they did in the end.  There were 2 companies wanting to buy us when the old owners decided they didn't want us anymore.

Yes I know, and the buyer hopes to make the company turn a profit again, so they get their money back, plus interest and profit.
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

That's bad news Kev. On the upside though, lots more free time for you.   :cheers:

Even more so now to. I'd been working one weekend in 5 as well, and have have been given another letter by my bosses boss which says I am no longer needed to work weekends anymore either, so I also lose the 150 hours that I got to cover the weekends  :facepalm:  Only 3 of us got this one.

I suspected they may do this once my 2 year protected status ended from them closing the mill I worked in (which ended March 31st), but a little warning would have been nice so I could plan for it. The double whammy on the same day has really made it a good one.....NOT  :facepalm:

It's gonna be a crappy pay cut as a result, but as you say, more free time for me now. More time to play on here  :D

That sucks Kevin. Much opportunity where you live ? Definitely time to dust off and update the CV.
