Last one to be called into the office am I the one being made Redundant?

  • In our company it was the last one.
    That gave the last person the option to leave/ gather their thoughts and obviously if it's the first person then the next two automatically know.

    Hopefully it will be different with you

    Do you mean the 30 days? Its only applicable if there are more than 20 redundancies i believe.

    They still have to have "meaningful consultation" with the affected employees though regardless of how many are being made redundant.

    Id say the first one in is the one to go....Gets the bad news out of the way first.....and then he tells the other two that A has been made redundant...He is hardly likely to tell A and B that he is going to make you redundant before telling you
    Good Luck


    I agree with mackemdave. You always talk to the individual involved first, then others if the decision has been made for Redundancy.

    So Op......what happened?
  • Hi Sloganjerry

    Update is that I still have my job!

    It was the middle person that got the chop.

    Their last day is 22nd March if they can not find another job in the company.

    I have been busy applying for new jobs etc.

    Getting some interest so hopefully some interviews soon.

    Whole process has made me appreciate my pay cheque much more!
