So my work is closing down see this link
http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/scratchies-makers-jobs-scratched-20120428-1xrjh.html
One of my suppliers rang me to give his condolences and said the following companies were also sounding shaky but were not in the paper yet
Schweppes cotties
Vinidex
Amcore flexible

I would be interested to know how many indirect jobs are lost for every direct job that goes, then how much do costs go up for the remaining manufacturers as they have to support an increasingly expensive support industries.

Will power prices climb as there are less large useres paying for a big share of infrastrucure cost (we have a $45K power bill per month up from $16k when I started 8 years ago for same usage or less after I cut the bill by $3K per month on max demand. Stinking gov charges 20% of bill for green house reduction or renewable). Sydney water asked for more money due to lack of demand after continous attempts to reduce sydneys water consumption were successfull.

I guess somebody could sell around 3000 tonnes of Carbon credits each year now
Course the Governement has funded a nice solution to our problems via the CSIRO I recomend we all rush out and buy one, developed here manufactured else where and rock bottom price

For every job lost - an average of 5 people are affected indirectly down the line. So the stat goes.

IE - 1 person could be a 'parent' who has to support a home of 1 other spouse and two children. A loss of income can then result into the family relocating for wealth resulting in local businesses no being able to accumulate an income from goods and services from that family. And the spiral continues on depending on those removed from employment.

EDIT - sorry - forgot to add. Sorry for the loss of you're job. If you need help in the areas of letter writing, resume building or even an ear on the ground. Let us know what you need, or skills you have an we may see what we can dig up.

sucks man, go get a trade now

[Carples]

I have a higher engineering trade cert which equals industrial electricain and mechaincal fitter equals anoying sparkie that bosses the fitters around cause I think I'm the best and I am.
Looking for maintenance manager position to replace my current mainanence manager position.
Failing management I am a all singing all dancing breakdown first responder.
Bit worried that industrial trade work will evaporate other than the mine the way things are going.
Should still be at this job untill production finished and I dismantle machines and send them somewhere, maybe go with them to reassemble at the other end so good till next year I think.
I do like redundancy pay outs though 26.5 weeks pay only $1k tax
I don't like the idea of working in an un airconditioned factory again though

[cryptochild4]

yeah don't work in the mines, the money is shit
