DP has received a phone call from work whilst we were out and his job and everyone else in the team he works with are at risk of redundancy....😑 What a way to start our holiday huh. 
He's going to have to wait until next week to see what's what but it will probably mean reapplying for their jobs and restructuring too...and that's if they're lucky.
☹️ I'm trying to not let my brain go to that place of catastrophizing  but.... 😬 He's also pretty new to the business, I'm hoping it's not last in, first out mentality. So hmmm, not a great start to the week.

Just been trying to catch up on the hundreds of posts I've missed DFW, and keeping everything crossed for DP's job!  They could have waited till after the half term break to tell people as anyone off this week is just going to be worrying rather than having a much needed break 😞  Hope you get some answers about your foot soon - the longer you're trying to compensate for the pain, the more you're likely to damage other parts of your leg in the process.  Wishing you all well.

My thoughts are with you, we’re also in the middle of your jobs at risk scenario. Absolutely hell, you go to sleep thinking about it and wake up thinking about. 🤞your DP will be ok.
love 🐞

Awwww, no .... and just when DP had found a job he liked and was seemingly doing well at too Bah!

I wrote this on Ladybird's thread and I think i bears repeating there, so I have shamelessly copied it across:

"I’ve been redundant three times and been expensively ejected once! 😉

Some suggestions for your OH:
- list everything he’s doing atm and how he does it, how the task has evolved over time. It’s so much easier to this when in a role, surrounded by it, than after leaving. Use this to update his CV. 
- Tap colleagues up for being referees and get their personal contact details.
- Update all connections, qualifications and relevant roles on LI, send out new connection requests to colleagues. If he hasn’t got an LI profile, create one - many recruiters make that their second stop after receiving your CV or application.
- once (if) he is definitely being made redundant, get his updated CV online especially to CVL1brary for visibility to recruiters. ‘Renew’ that CV on CVL every week so it ends up at the top of the search results for recruiters searching for his skills and experience. Only needs to be very slightly different. I flipped between two CVs that were identical apart from having June or July in the file title 😉
- start tapping up his network now, making them aware that he is facing possible redundancy and asking them if they would they have anything suitable for him coming up. 
- once made redundant, sign up to the job centre - they are utterly useless but you get your NI stamp paid and some job seekers allowance. It’s a feeble £amount but might as well have it. 

- if it’s been a while since he has been to interviews, have a look at the m0nster job website - they have 100 typical interview questions. Having some sense of what to say to each of those helps build some confidence. 

This ^^ doesn’t guarantee a new job, but does give some sense of control and doing the best you can in a bad situation. I’m sending him every good wish." 

Sending huge sympathies and hugs, to both of you. It must feel like one thing after another atm ....
