Popping this in work instead of AIBU as it's work related and not very interesting, but ultimately do want to know if I'm BU.
The industry I work in has been badly affected by Covid and back in September we were put on redundancy warning, with a me and a colleague in our team of 5 both being 'at risk'. Basically they wanted to combine both of our roles into one.
I immediately threw my hat in the ring and volunteered to go. I've been here a long time and a change would probably do me good, I could afford a few months off if necessary, plus I had no interest at all in taking on the new combined role.
The whole process rolled on, another member of our team left organically, a specialist role we're recruiting for has been reduced to part-time and I was advised a few weeks ago that my role is no longer at risk and our team would largely continue as 'normal'.
Yet today I've found out that the colleague who was also 'at risk' will in fact be taking voluntary redundancy. I know full well that once she's gone the greater portion of her responsibilities will come my way, and I'll end up doing the combined role I didn't want by default anyway.
AIBU to be a bit at all this? I'm prepared to be told that I am, I've never been in this situation before so don't really know the protocol but I feel as if I've been backed into a corner. People in other teams are being made redundant too and I feel very uncomfortable that I've been kept on reluctantly while others are devastated to lose their jobs.
To add obviously I am already seeking another job as I'd made my mind up to go when I offered to, but the market isn't exactly fantastic at the moment.

I am BU to feel a bit [hmm] about this?
