Unfairly selected for redundancy
I’ve been selected to be made redundant from a job/role I’ve been doing at the same place for 20 years. There are new guys they’ve taken on in the last 2 years, with fewer qualifications and much less experience than me who are staying. I believe it’s because I do not get on with a senior manager in our area, then is no…
Redundancy vs applying for new role-help!
I’ve been in a bit of a tricky situation to say the least this week. Essentially I’m at risk of redundancy, however there is also a new job available to one candidate.
