So as not to have the problem of being offered a job before the end of this period she only started looking in the last month. Thankfully she was offered 3 jobs within a month of finishing. My point here is that if you take a bit of time for yourself and then start looking and you are lucky you shouldn't be redundant for too long, and employers expect you to have a notice period so don't expect you to start tommorow.

The job she took was the result of putting herself up on several job sites, definatly worth doing yourself as you have a lot of skills and experience in your field.

I'm already on several sites and have started the ball rolling. What I will do is when I know it's definate I'll change my status on Linked-In and that will spread pretty quickly. I was head-hunted last year but didn't fancy moving to the Witshire area.

Not good mick, hope it goes whichever way you want it to in the end!
Still never really a good position to be in, hope it is sorted out soon.

Just had my consultation meeting, nothing new there. I'll be notified by lunchtime tomorrow of the answer. It is between me and my colleague, who used to be my boss. No knowing which way they will play it. I know I am the better bet for future business but he has been here over 16 years, has a disability so that could be his trump card in this for they may fear he might use it against them. The only ball ache I can see ahead is having to work my 8 week notice period so I can finish off projects and handover etc. I can really see that being productive!

A chap who did get the axe where I used to work did this - in the end he was hardly ever in! We had no clue how to do his job when he left...

It's official, I am redundant as of 31st July. However I may seek legal advice as they chose my colleague over me on points scoring apparently, except he has Parkinson's disease and he isn't fit for his duties imo, so believe this to be a the disability card thrown in! He is so **** I took his job when I started here over 8 years ago!

Really sorry to hear that Mick.hope you get somewhere with the legal side. Positive discrimination is reallly becoming a big problem in this country.I live with the threat of redundancy pretty much constantly and I know it's bloody stressful.but onwards and upwards I think you will find something pretty quickly.all the best mate.

Mick, if you were to take them to tribunal and win, then keep your job etc, would you really still want to work for a company that tried to get you out once before already?
