Tomorrow I get to find out if I'm one of 'many' people at my workplace to be up for redundancy or not, and if so I won't find out towards the end of the week if I'll be going or not.
Problem is with me being there 3 years (nearly 4) and being under 22 years old means I would get 3 weeks notice but half a weeks pay each week which is pretty much wank to be quite honest.
Wouldn't have a clue what to do though like should I go to college or get a different full time job?
Anyone else been made redundant?

Yes, I get my one month notice of redundancy on July 2nd That's when my 'redeployee' status comes to an end but there are no more jobs in the set up for me

Take redundancy. I am a true believer in swapping jobs regularly to get higher up/more money. It used to be the norm to stay where you are forever but not any more.
Unless you really like the job of course......................

I don't think i could give any worthwhile advice to be honest, with obviously barely having had any experience of work. Hope it all works out for you though.

I actually wouldnt mind leaving, its just looking for a new job and going to another place is quite daunting, I'm not the most talkative of people

Thanks ESR. And honestly Ben? Not the foggiest. I've looked at job things online etc and there just doesn't seem to be anything out there for me, that either catches my eye, or that i have enough qualifications for (ie a degree)

No worries. Its a scary place in the adult world after leaving school. trust me. The last thing you want is to be in a job you dont want.

I know its not the best thing to hear but it really isn't as easy as school. when people say schools the best days of your life they are right. mind you if, like me, you are in a good job you wont regret it. was either of the sites any help
