We were told at lunch time last Friday and, everyone who accepted (they were voluntary redundancies), finishes today at close of business so there was little time to get used to the idea. The problem was we were told that compulsory redundancies may follow and, if they did, we would get a lot less money. That was the issue. I don't live on the mainland (Im on the Isle of Man) so it may be different over here. I spent all weekend with my head all over the place but decided to stick with the company and say 'no' to the payout. Im a single mum so, whilst the money was tempting, I can't walk out on a job like that. Hopefully it was the right decision.
