    I always thought that surprise redundancies were done last thing in the evening, so that the newly ex-employee has the opportunity to go to the pub and get drunk. Rather than have all day to sit at home and stew, and maybe return to the office with a sledgehammer while the working day is in full swing.


    I always thought the reason they did that was to avoid causing tension/agitation in the workplace. and to screw a few more hours out of the poor sod that's getting canned.

    To go back to the OP , if it was a redundancy , is it possible they were just operating a 'last in/first out' policy ?
