Redundancies just announced at my work...

[Pumpkin Becki]

We've been hanging on by the skin of our teeth, but today the MD made a company announcement that 12% of our production team will be made redundant today.

We're all just waiting for the tap on the shoulder...

[sweetiepea]

Devastating news. Hope it doesn't come your way.

[BumbleB]

Sorry to hear your news. I trust that the MD will keep you all informed and not drag the stress out any longer than neccessary. Have you been told when you will be told?

[janeyo]

keeping everything crossed for you.....

[Pumpkin Becki]

Thanks Guys, looks like its happening now. Our team are in a separate area (laser safety rooms) to the rest of production, so we are just hearing rumours at the moment...

[SarzWix]

It's crap being made redundant, but having got the chop myself two weeks ago I can tell you that it's certainly good for the garden.

There's not a whole lot of work available out there, that's the worst bit at the moment.

I was put on "garden leave" in Feb so have been making the most of it and taken up some serious gardening... I have never been so relaxed(and happy) for years!

Sadly working in the garden on full pay come to an end this week and I will have to start thinking about looking for a new job... my husband is worried that I am so happy doing the garden I won't want to go back

I hope everything works out fine for you and you don't get that call

[Pumpkin Becki]

Well, its over...I'm still here, but I've lost three of my 'boys'. It's truly horrible to say goodbye to good people. I don't envy the MD and HR manager one little bit.

[Nicos]

I'm relieved for you!

I reckon everyone will feel rather unsettled for a while now.

Glad you are ok Becki
