At the time of the other thread the company i work for went into administration but after several months we got through it and my store was saved.. Now in mid July this year our landlord was approached by the manager of another company who wanted the unit we were in and therefore offered more rent than our company were paying. So the landlord accepted their offer and we had just two weeks to get out. There is another unit on the same retail park which is about to become available so head office was adamant that we'd get it as soon as it's ready. So in the meantime we were all split up into different stores and i have been working for the sister company in the city centre for the last six weeks. But now today we all had to go to a meeting and most of us were under the impression that we were going back in two weeks cos we were told that yesterday... But only to hear that we are not reopening, at least not this side of Christmas anyway. They can't come to a reasonable deal with the landlord etc.. Our store takes a shedload of money over the Halloween and Xmas period so it makes no sense. If we're not opening for those seasons i can't see them doing it after Xmas.
They said they'd be no redundancies, but after all we've been through the last year who knows
Rant over.
