Carphone Warehouse

Carphone Warehouse are in the news in Preston. They have a large call centre in Tulketh Mill and although I’m not too up to speed on the Academy they have been involved in  funding.  They also announced plans to create a hotel in part of Tulketh Mill.  Unfortunately as business throughout the world is declining they are having to cut their cloth to their budget and have announced some redundancies some of which might be in Preston.

I’ve worked in places with redundancy programmes and it’s always a difficult time.  Things seemed to take longer than expected and there was uncertainty about how many, what skills and who could go if they volunteered etc. In the meantime there is gossip, rumour and counter rumour and a sort of head down, I’d be really annoyed if it’s me and not him as well.  Best thing is to get familiar with what your options are, what jobs you could get and keep working as normal. You might find a better job although in a recession it might not be that easy.
