    Thought i'd update this:

    Unisys basically screwed me and now left me without a job.

    Be very wary of this company, it appears i was lied to from the start. i'm no longer even picking up their calls, they're not worth the time of day.

    Sorry to hear that Grim. :(

    Keep your chin up mate, apply for as many jobs as you can. The more you apply for the more options you have.

    Wishing you good luck finding a decent job very soon.

    Sorry to hear about the bad news :( and I hope you have much more luck than me in my job hunt.

    I worked for these for a few days last year in a rollout contract, unfortunately if i remember correctly there dodgy accounts department forced me to go with a different umbrella company than my normal one, eventually I was paid about 3/4 weeks late.

    Nothing i can do but to be honest i don't want anything to do with them dispite them still saying they want me. If they can't even sort out staff employment i dread to think what it must be like to be employed by them. it's just a company you need to stay well clear of.

    Sorry to hear that as I have experienced this in the past as well and know it's not a nice feeling. Well it's their lost and from sound of things they don't seem worthy.

    Start looking for something else and be more selective this time around, i.e. read the annual review, staff retention and ethics etc. Best wishes and keep plugging away:)
