Scared of Redundancy :(

How long between chops ?!?
Hi All, Please be kind to a newbie ;) The company I work for announced last week a 10% reduction in the workforce due to market conditions. As we're a small company, that meant six of my colleagues left. As there was less than 20 leaving, there is no minimum consultation period and those affected left within a couple of…
