Made redundant today :(

[Mummiepig]

Just that really, was told I was furloughed, all good
Called today they can’t afford to pay the wages and wait for the money back, they don’t think the business can bounce back so that’s it
All staff redundant, company gone to administrators, expect £1400 redundancy
It’s shit, just wanted to let it out really :(

Unfortunately a lot of our business is luxury items/non essential
So with the state of the country I don’t think people will be buying
Plus the internet has killed our business over the last few years

@randomlettersabc Good luck with it 👍

@userxx thanks. Hope everyone else manages to stay afloat x

Trying to stay positive but it’s hard

@Mummiepig it is. Just trying to keep positive (!) and trying to keep it from the kids and not be snappy at them cos I'm so stressed. Holding it together is hard. Hope you get through it x

UPDATE: found a new job! Start next week and looking at £1600 redundancy pay in 6 weeks time so good news all round!
Thanks for everyone’s kind words

Yay!!!!!! I’m so happy for you OP 👏

Thank you so much, I’m so excited to start, getting bored at home, I’ve worked for the company before so I kind of know the job too so not too scary!

Fab news, make's a nice change at the moment :)

Ahh that's really good well done. Silver linings and all that

Thank you
