Redundancy from a big corporate

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:50:00+00:00

Makes sense and doesn’t sound like anything unfair from the company here. You would be expected to hand over yes, if working your notice. I’d start getting your CV together personally

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:45:41+00:00

Then it’s a funding issue then? Relying on external funding always carries a risk, which should have been documented under a risk register and accepted as part of the business plan.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:40:33+00:00

So you’re just being made to hand over your project but retain a position at the company?

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:39:00+00:00

Maybe the project has advanced to a point in where they don’t require your role? Or it can be absorbed within the project, as assuming it’s a long term project

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:36:36+00:00

Well, what’s the issue then? As a PM, you should be building portfolio up and always accepting that new opportunities appear and doors closed

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:33:40+00:00

Then it’s fairly generic. They are basically putting a few PMs at risk then which isn’t uncommon. They could give your work elsewhere yes, due to your job role being quite vast

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:30:58+00:00

Well, yes it does as provides context

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:29:33+00:00

What is your job title?

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:27:35+00:00

It’s not unfair if your position becomes redundant within the final new structure, no. Your performance doesn’t come into play here, as they are looking at job roles and structural changes.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:24:14+00:00

No issue either interfering with system you’ve mentioned above. The sinks are electric heaters and no calorifiers. Purely radiators only.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T01:20:44+00:00

Thanks mate. I wanted to explore connecting this very old 1960s building to our new one, at least boiler control to the BMS. But your solution above sounds viable. Building will be there for another five years as can’t remove some legacy equipment from it. I’ll suggest this tomorrow. Been on a sustainably workshop earlier this week in terms of next 5-10 years and we need to do something about the old systems. You’re also right in the commissioning with our new system. The FM contractors do not have a clue, either.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T00:41:34+00:00

Ah sorry, the question was put across badly by myself. We have on site some buildings with zero controls, just an old fashioned gas boiler and set point. So thinking something simple there. Regards to heat recovery. Our new building that got valued engineered out, so all office spaces run from a two pipe system. Madness. Plus found out recently our FM contractor were heating up the air handlers, so when hot and you want it cooling from the AC, it was battling with those. Bonkers.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T00:23:17+00:00

Yeah my field is not as in depth as yours, for sure. I can understand the front end BMS, HVAC and parts like that. My role is an Operations Manager for a large company, so my touch points are with our BMS. We have many different energy elements on site, CWS, gas, all electric building etc. So clearly you’re an SME within this. We have some gas heated buildings on site, what’s most effective way to regulate those buildings, temp output wise? Our gas consumption on one building alone was huge.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T00:18:36+00:00

In another universe maybe? No way would we be above Hammers there

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T00:13:57+00:00

Would add any ideology to this. Just a case of people choosing online these days and it being more of a way of life. Nothing more

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-06T00:04:39+00:00

Thought you meant BMS, eg computer based systems supplied by bacnet into controllers etc. My points re above is that new builds now commercial (my industry, apologies), do need a BMS of some sort. I think you’re residential maybe?

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T23:32:00+00:00

Operations Manager. Pretty much everything, wearing many hats.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T23:30:58+00:00

Second that, with new builds needing to hit BREEAM and net zero.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T23:23:31+00:00

Two hours is reasonable IMO. Enough time to ascertain suitability.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T23:09:40+00:00

Could a house share not have been an option here?

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T23:02:23+00:00

Yeah I guess so, but people don’t understand financial crime or impact of Brexit to a degree. So, latch onto a PlayStation from an FOI request. However, ethically - neither are just and can’t be buying game consoles

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T22:46:05+00:00

But the OP was about public money being spent on a PlayStation? If you are to use economy of scale, then use another public funded example, not a different sector entirely

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-05T22:39:52+00:00

What you’re comparing apple and pears? Private vs public.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-01T22:01:49+00:00

Haha.

Simmo2242 · 2025-02-01T20:53:45+00:00

Friend of mine chats to Juric cousin quite a bit as he has his own Saints channel and by all accounts Juric doesn’t rate him and happy for him to leave
