Has anyone managed to negotiate their redundancy package?
I'm currently going through redundancy. I found out I was at risk on Wednesday, and by the 17th, my role will be gone.

Redundancy
Hi. I was made redundant a while ago. Today, some of my ex colleagues received a large sum of money. I didn't. How can this be? Could some of them have contacted a solicitor independently, but as a group? Can I argue that I should be entitled to this as well? Thank you.
