There will be no compulsory redundancies.
I rang Nu first who suggested gin and lots of it
And I’ve been messaging people for the past hour, thanking them for their support
Finally I took Roger up the lane to Mr Poźnan’s neat bungalow and told him personally
And I hugged him with the longest of Disney hugs
Good news John. I am glad for you. x
ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you John and everyone else who needed to keep their job x

Welsh hugs from France. Too hot here but it’s a good excuse to read books and the I-pad.
ReplyDeleteI knew all would work out. More Welsh hugs and why not reward yourself with a gin and tonic. I am. Susan
Big sigh. Whew.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the G & T!

ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you and your colleagues who needed to keep their jobs. Doing a happy dance, in my head. Josie ( )
ReplyDeleteJoy! Rapture! What a relief.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is such great news. I've been hoping that would be the outcome (that happened at the school where I worked) but didn't dare voice it in case I jinxed things! I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief for you and your colleagues. Yes, a very large G&T and a happy dance is called for. xx🍸🕺
ReplyDeleteSplendid news John x
ReplyDeleteSo pleased for you. Enjoy the gin! This is the first time I’ve commented on a blog but reading yours gives me a lot of pleasure and a good deal of hope when times aren’t great.

Hurrah, so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteSo delighted for you. Athene
ReplyDeleteGood news.
ReplyDeletePhew, you can breathe easy now John xx
ReplyDeleteJOY and happy dancing at this wonderful and much needed good news!!! Now, breathe, dear John.
ReplyDeleteAm so glad enough of your co-workers volunteers to resign to allow the rest of you to stay. May those who are leaving be going to better jobs, can go part time, jobs closer to home, or even stay home.
Happy hugs!!
Also kind of you to let your friends and neighbors hear your good news! Your lengthy hug must have made Mr. Poznan's day, week, month, or maybe year!!
DeleteMore hugs!!
Fantastic! Enjoy your weekend. Bun
ReplyDeleteI think I shall have a g+t in your honor John.
ReplyDeleteWhat an enormous relief! Too bad about all the recent worry but so glad you got good news. I wish I could have a gin with you. You and Nu have a couple for me. Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad for you, and for the others who wanted/needed to keep their jobs. It's been a horrible time for you all.
ReplyDeleteOh, such a relief. I am so happy for you xx
ReplyDeleteBest news I have heard all day John!!! Much relief here for you and your colleagues.
ReplyDeleteI can not tell you how happy and relieved I am to read this.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a relief! I hope all the "volunteers" are at peace with their decision too. You must have been so nervous opening the e-mail.
ReplyDeleteOf course (always the buzz kill) with fewer staff the work load will be heavier and perhaps reduced satisfaction for you.
Gin/ice cubes/nice long dog walk! So glad you were able to share with the nice neighbor in person (and with all of us of course).

That is wonderful news John! Waiting to hear it must have been like waiting for lab test results. Now you can enjoy your weekend and have a spring in your step while at work

ReplyDeleteCarol in Atl. Enjoy this!!!
Wonderful news, John. So happy for you and your co-workers!
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrible shame that end of life care has to suffer cut backs. It is such wonderful care you and others provide in such a difficult stage for patients and their families.
A G&T sounds perfect and maybe a wee treat for Mary and Roger too!
Fantastic news
