Welcome to Given the Heave
You’ve reached Given The Heave, the information and news web site for all those who have just lost their job or fear they might.
What is it called? down-sizing, redundancy, dismissal. What is it due to? periods of economic uncertainty, new strategic direction. We think the worst, we hear the dreaded words? The sack, Given the Heave! Don’t worry! What is reassuring (honestly) is that there are thousands of people in the same position as you. The statistics say that at any one time, 23% of employees fear losing their job. We are in the business of helping you source advice: - legal - career related - finance - new directions all together e.g setting up a business - mortgage help - insurance (so that the nice people in your new job don’t ever get you in the same position again) - putting you in touch with organisations who are there to help. We’ll point you in the direction of help for all those things that impinge on you and your family when you’re in career crisis.
