If one more person remarks that taking voluntary redundancy was the best thing they've ever done I'm going to eat Bear Grylls' jockstrap.Comment

I was made (not voluntary) redundant after several years with a large US firm. I got a great payout from them. Best thing that ever happened to me.Comment

Voluntary redundancy was the best thing I've ever doneSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostMany moons ago I go 'offered' VR by my boss with a note saying that it would be in my best interests to take it. Asked HR what the package was (not a lot to be fair), showed them the email and asked them to double it. Got agreement same day as long as I signed a waiver not to sue them later. Happy days.
That turned out to be VERY costly in the endComment

Plus I'd lose 4 years of pension contributions.
It's a bit tricky really.
Depends how much they want to reduce the payroll to the bottom of the scale again for the newbie, though that's only about £2.5k ish IIRC.Comment

I'm getting involuntary redundancy. After 2 years I get £1400, and I only get that if I stay until the last month. This is the second job in a row I've lost to in-sourcing - i.e. back to the US.
They're closing the site, so everybody including the boss and a couple of contractors are all going. Needless to say nobody is very motivated.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
