so what if the role was made redundant? They can't be peeved then can they if that's not your fault. I was in a job once 3 mths and they made me redundant & if I had known the state the company was in before I took the job I would have never accpeted it.0 -

what even a year or two in?
Who is going to give them this info? I think you are a bit paraniod. I know of no company that would ever talk to a 3rd party when they have nothing at all to do with the job!0 -

how would they know who you are working for?0 -
