It's beyond me how you do such a good job with the channel regards travel, reviews, meetups, editing etc and keep a full time job as well ! Hopefully you have success with just the u tube thing. You're a good man John. 👍

@TheMissendenFlyer 4 месяца назад

Fingers crossed for your redundo John - whatever happens, if you make RU-vid your "job", I predict you will have a much happier life and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner....although it's highly likely you will be considerably poorer (at least that has been my experience, very happy but skint - I take happy over money any day of the week)......

For what it's worth, I took early retirement 6 years ago at the age of 60, having worked continuously for 43 years. I lifted my lump sum, seen places in the world with my wife that, otherwise, Id never have had the opportunity. I also changed the bike, changed the car, and paid-off my mortgage and a few other debts. Yes, I gave up a secure and reasonably well paid job 6+ years before I needed to, I have a lot less cash in the bank than 6 years ago, but do you know what, I've had an absolute blast!! So, in my opinion, if your company decides your role is 'surplus to requirement' and you've done your sums for day-to-day survival, take your redundancy and run. Good luck with it all.

@Ultra54able 4 месяца назад

I just did the same. Same work length but unfortunately not all the best paying until I landed a good job 20 years ago. It was a stressful job and I decided to retire before I would get a full pension but with my savings combined with the reduced pension I will have no problems. It is sad that retiring at 60 is considered early though.

@SteveBrigden 4 месяца назад

Fingers crossed for whatever happens! BTW - it’s the first £30k of redundancy payments that is tax free, not all of it.

@69USD 4 месяца назад

Hey Chops I'm in my late 50's and grafted all my life for little recognition. I persuaded my old boss to let me do 4 days a week - I don't need the money & would rather spend more time out on the bike. Monday to Thursday is more hectic but the new boss gave me a pay rise because he thought I might leave! In my experience companies don't always reward 'the guy who gets things done' but on the other hand they won't let them go at redundancy time. Qualifications and certificates mean nothing if you can't get things done - don't put yourself down - this is why your boss chose to keep you. My advice is drop down to 3 days and see how it goes for a year - maybe in the future you could go back to 4 days?

@daviddent7483 4 месяца назад

FYI when I took redundancy in 2016 only the 1st £30000 is tax free, anything over is normal rate of income tax.

@ridewherever 4 месяца назад

ever since Covid, At my company with all of their locations, are now sitting empty. Huge buildings rotting away cause everyone is working from home. Like, duh… we could have been doing this from the start. Now, they’re starting to make everyone come back in because they need to make use of the buildings they are paying for.

@skts2610 4 месяца назад

All I’d say is, your only here once and there’s more to life than money! I semi retired at 55 and have done things that I never thought I’d do, I’m now doing three days a week just to keep my hand in and was suddenly struck down with a heart issue at 60, after having major open heart surgery in January this year and on the road to recovery, I’d say go live it fella, cos you never know what’s round the corner! Best of luck with the future, loving all your content👌🏽👍🏽

@greyanaroth 4 месяца назад

I just want to say, don't sell the h2 as living expenses. It's an asset. You'll need to make the channel viable from an income perspective. And idiot influencers are making REALLY good money off their sponsorships, partnerships and product placements etc.

@BigbubbaJ1000 4 месяца назад

I’ll give you another angle chops, if you think you’re getting past it in the IT job, imagine in a few years as a full time motorcycle RU-vidr ! What I mean is when you get to 59 like me and your stiff as *u*k and can’t get your legs bent enough on the pegs, or after an hour you’re rolling around with aches in every joint. Stay at home/in the office and keep the channel like it is. Good that is.

@mraidymaddful 4 месяца назад

To me John, you're talking your way into doing You Tube fulltime. I would send the link to this video to your boss as it explains everything he needs to know. That's what I would do..............

You won’t be made redundant: it’s too expensive! Last in, first out. And you said yourself, you’re delivering. Others aren’t. Also, we all hear the “we want you in the office so you can collaborate better”. It’s hogwash. More to do with propping up commercial real estate values that would otherwise crash.

Find a capable financial advisor and see what they say mate.

@Paul-ue3zy 4 месяца назад

Redundancy money only lasts so long. Don't ignore your expenses; mortgage , energy, insurance , day to day living etc. If you would be getting your pension as part of your comp. retirement then that would be best. And please stop referring to the H2 as a pension substitute. It cannot be. A pension would be a regular payment that you can depend upon, the H2 would just be a one off. Anyway, take care and best wishes for the future.

@jamiewilliamson-graff783 4 месяца назад

@flibbertigibbet6200 4 месяца назад

I also work in IT and after being at risk twice a year for 8 yrs they finally got us and made us redundant, terrible experience and really got me down. I feel it was fate for me also as doing the job in the same areas for the NHS now and enjoying it so much more and earning a fair bit less, but a lot less stress and learning a lot more.hope it all works out for you.

@mariuspike 4 месяца назад

Stay a little bit, is a big decision. If they pay u, that is a safe way out. To sell your H2 just to pay the bills, that is not the way. I worked for UK project for companies and i understand what you are saying by "get the things done".

@simonchilli2088 4 месяца назад

After a certain amount of redundancy payment you would have to pay tax as I did when I took mine. I can't remember the limit tho but.

@brianbiker 4 месяца назад

Oh, and on the subject of being humble, I see it like this: people like honest, decent people who clearly are themselves and act with integrity. Personally, I enjoy your content, you do something a little bit different, and present facts in an interesting way, so I’d like to see you succeed!

@mickleblance8805 4 месяца назад

I just retired 6 months ago at 61 years old, 37 1/2 years in the telco industry, just bought a new 2023 Suzuki 1050DE as my retirement ride. Who thinks they will be riding motorcycles at 80 years old? Time to enjoy the ride, and life!! You have a great “side gig” with LCR…..enjoy it!!

@PDCRed 4 месяца назад

Anything over £30k redundancy, just shove into your pension. Although you look young and fit (!) retirement isn’t that far away Chopsie so you’ll get it back soon. I wish you all the best. You’re a really genuine chap and a complete natural at this RU-vid lark!

@nigel274 4 месяца назад

I worked in IT for 40 years...I was in Technical Support/projects. I know exactly what you mean regarding having to relearn job all the time....used to envy lawyers etc where all changed very slowly. At 58 there was restructure at work and I was offered redundancy.....would have been £70k. Just before accepted they obviously checked cost and withdrew offer 😢. I was gutted....eventually escaped at 61 with a bit of a bung but nowhere near £70k. Listening to you brought all back. Thing is all useless people who'd achieved nothing got the redundancy. Tread carefully 😊

@niallmclean4812 4 месяца назад

John They may load you up to get you to leave of your own accord, sounds like stress in a can tbh

@SonriseSunset 3 месяца назад

I see alot of those high hedge rows right next to the roadway in England moto videos.....I assume they are planted on purpose. What do you do if you have a breakdown of cars/trucks? No road shoulders to pull over on? How do you plan any escape route in case of manuever emergency? Just pile into the bushes? Ohhh, you going thru a "rif", that's what it's called here in the US, "rif" - reduction in force. I've been through myself (as an older worker) and as a manager enforced rifs. It's a shi___ business to go through. Upper management (from the accounting side, of course) usually just gives you a number you have to get to as well as timing. HR gives you the guidelines of what to give riffed personnel. Typically it's 2 weeks pay for every year. We also have to give ins info on what we call "Cobras" - temporary ins coverage - 18 - 36 months. Based on your employer's ins coverage but there is no company help to pay so it's expensive. As a manager looking at your direct reports, and picking who goes and who stays ends up really being rather arbitrary and that's what makes it a lousy experience, playing with people's lives but what to do when business numbers won't support company targets for overhead?

@markwood9755 4 месяца назад

“Should I stay, or should I go now? If I go, there will be trouble And if I stay, it will be double”😉 The Clash circa 1982. I put myself up for voluntary redundancy at the beginning of Covid. It was an extremely well paid position. I must say it really messed with my head for the first few months, what the hell have I done ! however as I mentally adjusted and learnt to live with a significantly reduced cut of my cloth I came to realise that it was an excellent decision. Work colleagues are constantly telling me how they wished they could have done it. I am genuinely happier now and sleep so much better. The final test was an invitation back after my industry had improved post Covid, Nope! really humbled by the invitation, alas just could not face going back despite the money. “Though I'm a poor boy, I can still be happy As long as I can feel free” Supertramp circa 1980’s

@colinbarber9324 4 месяца назад

Be careful John, lots of IT jobs, not low end ones, are going to India. It’s also AI that’s threatening IT jobs. Perhaps a fall back plan would be a good Idea. As for You Tube, it’s getting very crowded . Best of luck.

@deloyalist4089 4 месяца назад

I never react to anything but, you hit a nerve. You mentioned the universe, I think the force is with you. Whatever happens, you’ll be alright. You are next to 44teeth for me the channel about bikes and the atmosphere. I’ll be buying a 1390 Evo when my money finally gets in. I’ll keep following your fat arse in silence because passion combined with honesty with a natural presentation is unbeatable in this fake world. So Chopsy, keep rolling the intro!

@A.J.Lawson 4 месяца назад

Regarding the Return to work requirement given your contract is office based make sure they wont force disciplinary action if you don’t comply. They could potentially get rid of you on that basis. Also should you drop to 3 days a week they’ll probably issue you with a new contract which could invalidate a redundancy payment on your previous 23 years service. It would be considered the same as changing jobs / company . Really check the small print and how you might be affected. Whilst you’re still employed use their resources to bring your technical certifications up to date. Then if the worst happens for whatever reason and you part company you’re still fully certified which means if push comes to shove you could always get another job if needed or do some freelance work. Also be aware if you have a pension regardless of work status you can withdraw a 25% tax free lump sum at the age of 55 years. Good luck!

@neilking1 4 месяца назад

As has already been mentioned, only £30k is tax free, you can reduce your tax burden by paying some of it into your pension, worth talking to a financial advisor to guide you. If you reduce your hours you may also want to investigate how this might impact redundancy amounts in the future, you might not be happy if it's reduced by 40%. Good luck and 🤞it works out for you.

@10secondsrule 4 месяца назад

I do get your saying there are people who do nothing and get paid. 20 years in the U.K. in architecture and I could not believe how it even exists as a profession. Well, giving uk’s housing market it’s not even a surprise but still. My severance package after they let me go (I did not want to go back to the office after 1.5 years working remotely for them) from last job after 10 years was a joke. My wife got more from her company after living (by herself) current job for better one after 2 years here in Korea - the law is completely different and if you get fired you get several years of salary based on how long you were with a company instead of weeks in the U.K. Sometimes going on your own makes way more sense given such conditions. I feel robbed of my life and money. 3 weeks instead of one is much better but it would not last for all that long mind you. You can always contract some job I guess as the it.

@koshtie 4 месяца назад

Hi John which ever way it goes you will be ok, it's human instinct to survive & progress & you will, of course it's a worry but once you iron out the wrinkles you will probably wonder why did i not do this sooner? we are all behind you, keep on keeping on, your content is pretty dam good as it is if you ask me? have you seen some other peoples content it does not even match up to what you are putting out, & to say your Audio is on point it is, that also makes a video because from this side of the fence (screen) there is nothing worse the bloody loud music or vocals, you seem to be able to get that just right , nothing worse than having to keep turning the volume up & down to compensate for what you are trying to watch? any way this is long enough so ATB Wayne ....😀👍

@wizball1 4 месяца назад

John, look at it this way, if it's meant to be then things will drop into place, a redundancy payout would give you the financial freedom to go for it full time, if that doesn't happen then a 3 day/week would also give you the chance to devote more time to the channel whilst maintaining an income from your job, either way it's a win win situation! Keep up the content, your always informative, unbiased & above all else.......entertaining, which is what keeps us tuning in! Best of luck mate!!

@bakedbeanzontoast9078 4 месяца назад

@S1000xrhp 4 месяца назад

In my industry, when there's a round of redundancies they take out the useless sacks of shit and over-burden the good, hard workers with more work. You get things done, you don't cause any bother, reliable & a good worker - all great reasons for work to keep you!! Such a weird and unfair way of rewarding folk for being useless - so why be good at your job, a valued employee? Just do enough not to get a disciplinary, be a waste of space and you'll get to pick up a golden ticket.

@smoky2stroke 4 месяца назад

3 days is gravy Chopsy, 4 days compressed into 3 is even better. Do the courses, play the game, and if they think your performance isn't as good in a few years you get compulsory 25 years redundancy. That's my plan.

@funkyfin3023 4 месяца назад

Just as well you didn’t hand in your notice ahead of that announcement. The issue as you say is you’re too expensive to get rid of. There will be lots of shite politics and uncertainty going on. That’s before the extra workload that will be spread around from those who have left. I’d keep selling the 3 day work desire and maybe start being rude…. 😉 Doesn’t sound to me like you want to dedicate 100% of your time to the channel. Suck it and see with a 3 days a week asap as your next step to put your toe in the water. In the meantime pitch yourself to sponsors for a 2025 launch of the new full time Chopsie.

@DavidGault-u2s 4 месяца назад

@FoxtrotOscar999 4 месяца назад

Part time, security, more time on YT channel seems the way forward. And things change so can lean on the job as income that will provide what you need and remove YT channel pressure. Go with the flow Chops!!

@savage-moter4539 4 месяца назад

Hopefully you can find some middle ground where you can work your three days a week and keeping your job for at least a few years more but also at the same time, grow the channel as you want. Maybe try to grow the channel in stages but having a regular income also helps as well. Also, remember to think about the unforeseen things like the economy or injury, things of that nature. I would try my best to fine a middle ground,..just in case. I do hope your channel explodes and goes exactly how you want it to I thoroughly enjoy your videos I particularly like your shop videos they are very informative and I agree with everybody here, saying it’s not just what you’re doing but how you’re doing it, with your personality, with the way you bring things to the table and how you do things. I’ve seen your channel grow over the years and it has came along way from the first videos you did. It has already progressed leaps and bounds in the way you present and edit your videos. I live in Texas and they are a lot of people on RU-vid that do videos in and around my area. Most of them are boyish, childish frankly stupid, half the time, but your videos have a nice sense of humor, a little funny, lighthearted, but all professional, with a sense of taste and style, and I think that’s what most people enjoy the most about your videos and we hope that we don’t lose that type of personality that you bring to your videos.

@simonbowen6653 4 месяца назад

Brave to discuss in such a frank manner on RU-vid. Best of luck, it would be great to get more content from you providing the numbers work.

@simonburton781 4 месяца назад

If you go part-time in your current role the risk is they will expect 5 days work to be done in 3, you would also spend the 2 'off' days worrying about what you have to do in the other 3. I'd consider becoming a contractor (if your role is suited to that) then you could then take on contracts when it suits you and have time off between contracts. As a biker, working over the winter months and taking the summer off would be a great solution.

@agnelt 4 месяца назад

I don't know if you kindof maybe shot yourself in the foot with regard to the severance opportunity. If your manager/company is more on the capitalist side of things... why would they pay someone for an extra 60+ weeks if they think they'll leave by themselves in a little while and the comany pays nothing extra. I think one of the big reasons they would not lay you off in this current instance is because you were too expensive to let go, for 3 weeks per year.

@RaiderTheGhost 4 месяца назад

Seems like faith has given you, your answer. As an American I can only cry at all the benefits you get even if being laid off. We have zero safety nets in the US when you have a job, let alone when you get canned. They tell you to get out with the shirt on your back and be happy about it. Hearing you get a severance that's tax free...unreal. Best of Luck and Cheers Chopsy!

@SuPpOsEdLyThIsIsCoOl 4 месяца назад

Talking from experience - you’ll probably find in a year or two they’ll be another redundancy wave. Rarely does it happen all at once. You won’t be able to head around how they could cut further, but they will. Be very vocal at that point! lol

@briansteele2723 4 месяца назад

If quitting then to be a contractor you may need to invest in skills so that you can work less and play / do channel more. My friends sat waiting at Lloyds bank through years of redundancy taking on more and more work but their length of service made them too expensive to lay off. They were knackered and should have just quit

@Matt-ft2nn 4 месяца назад

Sorry that they didn’t shit can you, Chopsie…….but the channel is awesome, and you’ll figure it all out I’m certain.

@pinkiewerewolf 4 месяца назад

Best of luck to you, I hope it works out either way. 👍 I retired early a couple of years ago at 58. They were killing me physically so I put my physical well-being ahead of the extra money.

@siraff4461 4 месяца назад

Just a warning on the redundancies - a member of my family worked for Goodyear UK for decades and when the redundancy rounds started he put his name in the hat like you but because it would have cost them a lot they overlooked him. Of course their plan was always to ultimately close the plant and eventually when they did he was made redundant but on the minimum rather than the enhanced the first few rounds got. If you can take a 3x package I would jump at it because with that experience you wouldn't struggle to get another job even if it was at a lower wage. You would also have the chance to go for one closer to home and make it a bit easier on yourself so overall how much would you really be losing? Especially when you add a nice chunk of cash in. Just be warned that when they say there are no voulentaries its usually a sign they are intending on keeping everyone happy until the last ones out at which point they will give you the least they can.

@charlesemerson6763 4 месяца назад

Well best of luck. U tube not the safest of things and the bucket load of cash thing, well it's amazing how quickly the bucket empties.

@Falkon786 4 месяца назад

Normally the Redundancy payment is £30K tax free, correct me if I am wrong. :(

@philipTOMPSETT 4 месяца назад

There’s usually a separate budget for redundancy and they don’t usually look at cheapest out first. You usually want the best people retained for the challenges ahead rather than the cheapest. If you’re as good at work as here, I can’t see you going 😢😂😊

@magpiemale 4 месяца назад

Its exactly that chopsy getting rid of people they don't kinda want... i went through the same thing even got on the dreaded list but still got kept on... when you think about the money its like can i have the job and a payout lol. Better the devil you know considering your pension too

@Ken.ch452 4 месяца назад

Whatever happens next is down to fate. You've put things in place for things to change. Once confirmation is in place you'll know exactly what to do. Looking forward to seeing you as a full time RU-vidr! 😀 . Very best of luck to you. With your skills you'll do just great.

@Tangotop 4 месяца назад

having gone through multiple restructures at work, Im in the same position, been there ages and it would cost a lot to loose me. I reality they always get rid of the ones that cost far far less. regardless of how good they are or if they want to leave or not, Sadly it all comes down to numbers on a spread sheet. Good luck with it though :)

Your channel, is very interesting and engaging mate. I personally think, you have got the charisma and appeal to pull off a full time RU-vid business. I think you’ll be connected enough, to bring in a lot of interesting people into your videos to help with the content from time to time. Go for it dude.

I’m just heading out the door to Donington BSB, but I had to stop to comment on this. I haven’t always agreed with your opinions but I’ve always had respect and gotten more enjoyment from your channel than others. I’m slightly younger than you but in the same industry and have been through all this. I have massive sympathy for you and anyone going through this bullshit process with all the flowery words and phrases which simply amount to ‘redundancy’. Whatever happens I hope you get the result you want and I will continue watching whatever videos you put out there. All the best mate

Hey thanks chopsy for what you do together with mcn, 44 teeth, moto bob, bike world and the SA the bike show- its an amazing facility to watch a couple of hours each week of what you all produce ( oh adam rieman also different segments of the market) compare your thoughts... i love it and really value the entertainment/ information that fuels my passion for bikes too. All the best mate.

Have you thought of going paetron or buy me a coffee to help fund the channel? Unfortunately, it sounds like the payout compared to others is to big.

As somebody said John the money will soon dry up if you solely have to rely on your redundancy money I know nothing how much you can earn on utube but it needs to be a hell of a lot to live on but be careful we wouldn’t want to lose you your a great utuber take care ride safe PS have you got a cold making this video you don’t sound right

@LambChopRides 4 месяца назад

Ohh it's like a little soap opera! waiting for the email telling you one way or another must be really agonising. Anyway keep up with your high quality videos and you will always have loads of support 👍 Side note I was throttle up throttle down off brakes on brakes all through the video 😅

Never known anyone be so happy about the announcement of redundancies! :D I'm a similar age to you and they've just opened up VR where I work. I'd be very tempted as I've worked here a while, but don't have an opportunity like a very successful YT to fall back on. If I did - I'm sure I'd be straight on the list - so I can see why it's tempting. However it works out, we'll still be here supporting you however we can, on the proviso you continue to release such great content - so no "Lambchops Goes Fishing" (although that does sound hilarious!)....

Sounds like you would be better leaving and getting redundancy! However chances are they would make those that can't get in the office or the "deadwood" redundant first! If you "get the work done" why would they get rid of you? Also it would cost them more for "long termers" . Redundancy, or save for exit in future. Your vids/chats are always eagerly awaited, keep the vids coming however you decide to do them. Cheers Chops.👍

@gaelchandran6864 4 месяца назад

That 50/50 work / you tube balance would be perfect as it would not put too much pressure on you. Who knows, it might happen ? Like your personality and your duo with Greg, a good balance for me between Mcn sometimes a bit too serious and 44 teeth sometimes a bit too much. Must come with age and personal taste in bikes which are quite similar to yours and Greg's. Also I am French and 44 teeth can be sometimes difficult to get as a foreigner whereas you are always very clear and in a way more international. Love your channel more and more and that H2, do not sell it please, what a weapon !!!

@stevekirk6399 4 месяца назад

Go on three days a week, cheaper to get rid in 2026! Redundancy pay is based on: your weekly pay before tax (gross pay) the years you've worked for your employer.

Sounds like you work at the same place as my wife. Exactly the same situation and story. Spinal surgery makes the shiny new building less important to visit if you keep on at OH/HR

As my missus always says "There's no pressure like financial pressure". So as long as the maths all work out, then why the heck not. If there's any reliance on 'possibly maybe's' from motorcycle brands' marketing departments though, then personally I'd give it a lot of thought as, when the economy's tough - like it is at the minute - the first things to often get slashed are marketing budgets. Good luck sir and hopefully you'll get that redundancy!!

@DYNOSRR 4 месяца назад

I’m quite new to the channel, and thought you were already doing RU-vid full-time. The quality of the videos are amazing, and you’ve quickly became my favorite, go-to motorcycle guy. I am not in a position where I can give any advice regarding the situation, but in terms of RU-vid you absolutely have my support!

Chuck as much as you can into a SIPP and get a whole heap of tax relief going back 6 years. It'll set you up for later life. Don't go getting sacked, you'll mess up any chances of decent exit money.

@jasonking4209 4 месяца назад

😂 Well I feel for ya Chops and I'm praying they give you the boot. But if I'm honest, I doubt they'll pick you brother. Either way. Just move forward as if this wasn't even in consideration. If it happens then it does. Just do your best not to get your hopes up. You're doing great bud.
