I am on maternity, due to be back in jan. I work for the huge company with few sites close to each other, owned by even a bigger corporation. We also have a sister company few hours away, bigger finance team, more operation etc, just one site though.
in jan they made my FD redundant after 25 years, then manager left because it was a shit show, and my little finance team was left without any supervision, only from the sister’s company but no one directly based in our offices. So yesterday they made rest of the team redundant…3 jobs will be consolidated into 1, office based at sister’s company. They didnt sack me but by no means i am important there or my job. I was a part timer for years due to the kids. I loved the job bc of the flexibility so i could do pick ups drop offs and was allowed to wfh twice a week…my childcare and everything is sorted according to my new hours from jan and i feel i am just a charity case be caused they didnt want to flip my world yet. No one is as vulnerable as me - we have a young person living with parents with no bills, rest set financially with no kids or partners. It sucks for everyone but i am sure this is the only reason i am still there.
i have a meeting tomorrow and i just dont know how to handle it and how to fight for my job. i am scared, my life would literally collapse. I dont know what i am gonna do when they get rid of me too
