As January fast approaches, sales will plummet in the company I work for. I've already have my hours halved from 40 to 20 two months ago. I've been with the company for 28 months (UK) and I have a strong gut feeling that I'm going to be made redundant. I believe that I'd only get 2 week's salary as redundancy pay. Any advice on this please? Many thanks.

Wow cutting your hours in half is crazy. I would start looking for a new role if I were you. I wouldn't even wait until I was made redundant to find something new.

Yes I've been job searching on an almost obsessional daily basis. I'm also the oldest member of staff there so I wonder if that's coming into play also. Watch this space. If it does happen, I'll let you know.

So sorry to hear that. I just noticed that you are in UK. I am not sure how it works there. In the Unites States, sometimes one can collect PARTCIAL unemployment benefits to make up some of the difference.
You might also look into another part-time job.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told.
