*phew* it's taken me ages to catch up on the I won forum & I am about 270 comps behind right now :rolleyes:

Got knocked a bit sideways on Wednesday as I went back into work (after being off ill since Friday) & we had an emergency meeting. Really weird as I had to send my delegates home at 4pm & we were so far behind as a manager had been covering me & had to attend an emergency meeting on the Tuesday afternoon so they had gone at 4pm then too.

Turns out this meeting was something called an 'At Risk Meeting'. Apparently, I'm now at risk of redundancy As a department we need to lose 1 at manager level (out of 3) & 2 of us trainers (out of 10). I'm devastated. I really enjoy my job & even though I knew things were slow (we train mortgage consultants for a large company that spans the UK) I was hoping we could keep busy with field training the existing consultants.

The thing that is getting to me though is that although I know the criteria which will be used to pick who is made redundant, the official notification won't be happening until somewhere during w/c 15th Sept! I'm all on edge already & feel like I'll snap into pieces by then with worry & lack of sleep (it's doing wonders for my diet though :rolleyes:). BF is still job hunting so we live on just my salary, I really don't know what we'll do if I am made redundant as I worked out my figures (just in case) & I'd get £990 redundancy pay, which is the statutory minumum apparently.

I'm swinging from worried sick to hoping it won't be me as I do work really hard & others slack off but then life isn't always fair.... then swing around to 'I'll be alright, it will be someone else' back to worried sick again!

Throw me a bottle of Baileys & I'll swing back to fine(ish) again soon!

Sorry to hear about your bad news Velvetglove - I think the not knowing & the waiting is one of the most stressful parts about your situation.

I will be thinking of you & hope that everything turns out ok. xx

RCB - I guess you can't please all the people all the time. Perhaps she'll (?) stick around & use the other comps on here to win her daughter lots of lovely things

Edit - I just posted that on the thread, you never know she might enjoy it here if she had a proper look around.
