DH's company is axing 1/3 of its staff. The official notice of redundancy letters went round today informing all of the staff that there are going to be a certain number of redundancies, the criteria on which the decisions will be made etc.
There are 4 managers who will be conducting the consultation period and making the decisions. DH and another member of staff were talking on their own in a corridor, just after the letters had gone round, and the most senior of the four managers came up to them. They told him about a mistake in the letters and he said "Oh, God, we'll have to send them all round again." Then he looked at them and said "Oh, for goodness' sake, you two should be safe!" Then he said "It's getting really frustrating seeing people and not being able to tell them" and walked off.
What do you make of this? We want to believe it means dh is safe, but we daren't.
