Got called into work today for an announcement by senior management, all staff got phoned up yesterday and asked to attend a meeting.
I work for Johnnie Walker whisky, which bottles whisky at their plant in Kilmarnock, which is the town where Johnnie Walker was born and started the whole business many years ago.
The company who owns the brand is restructuring and we've all been given notice that the plant is going to close in 2011, so the whisky will no longer be bottled in the place it says on the label and the towns biggest employer will be gone
It wasn't pleasant at all to be in that meeting and see some of your co-workers, who've been with the company from when they left school, in tears at losing their jobs
Can't believe they'd think of closing the plant, kind of a kick in the teeth for proper british heritage.
Rant over, time to look for another job
