Redundancy, PILON & salary advance questions
Hi all, I've lumped a couple of points into one post to try & keep things simpler!

Sacked Today
I need your advice. Today I have been called to a meeting and out of the blue I have been told that they want to sack me.

In the meeting, I was given the option of voluntary…
