AIBU to ask how secure you think your job is?

[GreyShadow]

I work in the charity sector and think I'm ok for at least 12 months, although another department of the same organisation will be making redundancies soon.

My mate is in the pharmaceutical sector and they're going to be hit quite hard soon too.

How safe do you think your job is?

I work in aviation, so....

Car dealership. Not concerned, we are incredibly busy and car sales are up

And yet a friend of mine has been made redundant from his. Obviously varies around the country.

Public sector, Criminal justice, we've already been cut to the bone so badly there is now a recruitment drive and it sounds terrible but in harder times crime rates and our workload increase.

3rd sector
Back in April we were being told there would be redundancies within the team, however these have not transpired yet. So I will hang on in there for now.

DH's job is very secure (NHS), I am self employed and have always been very busy, even during the lockdown - however, I have no idea how things will be next year. So far so good...

Work for a supermarket so very secure. We’re on a recruitment drive and we’re expanding our home shopping pod.

Close to minimum wage though and everyone assumes you’re a thicko.

Reasonably secure for the next year or so. After that, who knows?

Theatre. Whole industry up shit creek. Terrifying.

Mine feels a little precarious. We're overly reliant on a single source of work that could cut us off whenever they fancy. I'm quite senior in my role so I think they'd dump others before me. It's still not great though. I'm fairly employable so I reckon I'd find something.

NHS MH Forensic (management)

Yes it’s safe. We are very busy and under a lot of pressure

But not worried about job security

Unless something catastrophic happens... very.

We've already done several rounds of redundancies. Our team is tiny (3 people - manager, me and another my level) but we pull in triple what the other teams our size do. I'm the newest but that also means I'm not paid loads and am just as good and reliable.

And the redundancies only got rid of about 10 people not in my area of the business

Very secure. NHS neonatal nurse so unfortunately there will always be a job for me. (Baring negligence or gross misconduct of course!)

Charity fundraiser. A number of my colleagues are going through redundancy consultation and I'm concerned.

Very secure. Workload has hugely increased and even if it hadn't, out of the 4 people doing my role in the team I would be the last to go.

I'm the newest but that also means I'm not paid loads and am just as good and reliable.

Normally being the newest is bad because "you're" much cheaper to make redundant.

My job will likely be moving to Poland next year.

I’m hoping another role may come up in the same organisation (though most are edging towards Poland), and I’d like to think I could get another job without too much issue (professionally qualification) but who knows in this climate.

@mrssnitchnose

We are trying to play catch up on last year plus we have every increasing year group sizes. Normally we start off etih about 20 practicals a week at this time of the year. We are at 32 and rising!

@Sideorderofchips We've done 50 this week! Doesn't sound too bad because there's 3 of us but I deal with the biology ones and they're big as you know. Had to make up my algal beads this week too

Very secure. Mental health nurse so “business” is booming sadly

Aerospace

Fucked massively

Travel industry, But I work in IT department .
Not been furloughed but do not feel at all secure.

I work for a university so think I’m ok. Husband works in recruitment - quite worried about his future.

1000%. Nhs. 20% shortage in my field.

NHS nurse. Job very secure. DH is a software engineer, can work from home. Job also secure.
