Hi, my OH started working in senior management for HBOS 1 year ago. As we live in Yorkshire he took the job to be closer to home as he could be based out of Halifax. Previously he'd been working away from home Mon - Fri and it really didn't work for us. I can't believe what's happening now - according to OH all this has been driven by hedge funders and wouldn't have happened if the share price hadn't been driven down. There's going to be so many families affected by this - there will be so many redundancies. OH thinks HBOS staff will kept on initially to help with the integration of the 2 companies and then it's 'thanks but no thanks'. This will be the 3rd redundancy for us in 7 years all as a result of so called mergers (ie takeovers. There must be so many more mumsnetters out there either employed by HBOS or with an OH working for them and feeling like the bottom's just dropped out of their world. Perhaps we need to set up a support group!
