- Fly away UpMyStreet, be free!
So, yes, I am “provisionally” redundant, which is all well and good and a welcome relief. It's an end to watching the UpMyStreet management perform endless reorganisations that make no difference to the “ground troops.” An end to the months of “we're still looking for investors and can pay you for the next x weeks,” that began late last summer. An end to the recent weeks of occupation by humourless administrators as yet more deadlines are extended and the office gradually runs out of supplies (hand towels, printer paper, etc.) like a place under siege. So far the buyers, uSwitch, have shown a remarkably clear-headed determination to get things on track, making half the staff (post-the administrator-lead cull) redundant and packing the remainder off to the company's cheaper, “cosy” offices in the less salubrious Victoria. So this is how profitable companies are run!
