Sad news at the library.
Told by our IT tutor that he will no longer be at the library from May, and this would be his last course.Then at the end he actually said to me, he has been made redundant, along with a few other colleagues!
I was shocked at the news, as is he. He is still trying to come to terms with it. Today even (given the news last week) he is extremely upset and feels like walking out, but knows he is committed til the end.
Of course, this means our future IT courses are in jeopardy, as the council have also got rid of the chap who runs the Saturday classes.
M is a lovely man and has a good work record, having given this branch 11 years, so why they chose him is a mystery. I will miss him.

That is sad ,it gives him very little time to find another job ,as i understand it , Councils are having to make cut backs because they have a smaller budget this year .It must be difficult on them having to choose which services must go .I just hope they do not give themselves a wage rise .because they always seem to look after themselves.

Re: Sad news at the library.
If there are a few of you who like him too Jazzi, why nottry and meet sometimes and maybe he might give a free
session. Maybe buy a bottle of wine or make a meal for him
to come around to one of your houses?
Lots of good people are losing their jobs with Councils.
Its not good but maybe there is another way of keeping
learning by befriending the teachers?
Just a thought. Good luck to him in finding a new job.

He is hoping to get something else but I don't know what.
Our Council Tax is being frozen again this year. Now we know why! Get rid of employees. Grrrrrr.
