Thank you

First of all, sorry to hear your bad news, secondly why would you take someone from HR to a redundancy meeting ? to meet the other HR people sitting on the other side of the table. If you can't take a solicitor take the next best thing, a union rep. I just hope you aren't a NIPSA member:o

Good luck with your consultation, I hope things work out for you.

Ditto on the good luck wishes, a very unpleasant situation. You should definitely take someone in with you as you'll still be in shock and having someone there simply to take notes will be very helpful. A trusted colleague or a union rep if you are in a union. Remember that HR are there primarily to look after the interests of the company, not you (an HR person happily told me this a couple of years ago when she was being made redundant and I accompanied her into her consultation).

Hoe things work out for you.
