There has been restructuring in work, so we had to go for an interview for our jobs. There are enough vacancies for staff as some had left.
My interview went well, a person on the panel said "well done" as we were walking out.
I then get a phone call saying "interview was for another position also (not advertised) and when we spoke to a manager, he said no, he doesn't want you to have the job."
The next day I get a phone call, saying you have failed the interview, you are being made redundant.
I am furious, as I am a great employee. The chair of the interview panel has made sexist comments, and broken confidentiality when he spoke about another candidate. He has done other things too which raises serious questions about his professionalism and integrity.
Unfortunately, the other person on the panel is ambitious and will say anything to keep in favour with the managers.
As a widow, I am really stressed about being made redundant, especially when I have done nothing wrong. Obviously it isn't a nice job with these managers, but I would prefer to work here than be unemployed. I am scared of being unemployed as there is high unemployment in north of England.
I have asked for feedback, but the answers were vague and non committal, saying I didnt score enough points. He rushed through my interview as he had another meeting, and he even answered his mobile phone in somebody elses interview.
I have been treated appallingly by the whole process. Although, I face a risk of being bullied if I stay, I would prefer that to being on the dole.
I am waking up at night panicking and seeing these managers faces.
