Squeezed out by looming redundancy - Unofficial Perks?

DaveZero Posts: 9 Forumite

7 May 2018 at 8:38PM in Redundancy & redundancy planning

Good evening everybob,

I have redundancy looming due to being squeezed out to make way for someone else (the official line is a new post has been created - vastly more responsibility, no more money, 3 month trial, etc. - and my post is becoming redundant). This is a big deal and requires a rant or two, but not here not now!

I currently get, and have done for many years, a couple of not-insubstantial perks which have a value to me of around £150 a month.

As they're undocumented, would there be any ground at all in trying to compensate for these or should I just let it go? (Don't start singing...)
