AIBU? Agonising wait to find out if I’m made redundant.

I just need some advice, for this agonising wait.

Thank you to everyone who replied on my last post with amazing advice, it really is appreciated.

It basically was to say, I’m on consultation and I’m at risk of redundancy, 15 roles are being reduced to 9, but since my last post- we’ve been made aware 3 have chosen to take voluntary redundancy.

So it’s now 12 people and only 9 roles- 3 are going.

To decide we are having competency based interviews, I had my one on Tuesday and I was 7th ( as we all talk and I knew when the others were )

I feel confident coming out of it, and I saw one of the ladies who interviewed me and she said ‘you done great, the guy from HR really liked you too.. and I must say you said things that none of the others had.’

I also recieved a message from my manager saying ‘I hear you done yourself proud; well done!!’

It’s an agonising 10 days until we find out our fate. I can’t help but have my hopes up I’m going to be ok after those feedback comments?

Am I wrong to get my hopes up? Would they say that, if anything at all if I wasn’t going to be ok.

Such a stressful situation, my partner says I’m being unreasonable to myself worrying so much as what will be will be.

Well you may not want to count your chickens before they’re hatched but the comments sound really positive. Do you have any irons in the fire if you do get made redundant? How long have been in the job?

Good luck anyway!

I mean, out of the 12, I know there’s at least 1 that they’ve been trying to get rid of for years! - feels so stressful, I love my job and the company, and I get on so well with all my colleagues. I got an amazing rating for my hard work at our mid year review and I was on to great things at the end of year review! - I’ve been there 3 years😢

People do try and give you hints that it isn't you I've found (including one manager who as I walked into the meeting whispered "you know it's not you don't you) so whilst I wouldn't count my chickens that does sound positive.
