Boss not communicating - possible redundancy

2 replies

Hi,
I work for a small company - fewer than 10 people. My boss is worried about cash flow and two weeks ago told myself and another colleague verbally that we would be made redundant ( sorry if this post should be in the other section).

There has been nothing in writing and I queried finish dates in a meeting but he wouldn't answer.

We have been working on a particular project - he told my colleague today that he wouldn't be agreeing on redundancy info because our work wasn't satisfactory and needs to be repeated.

The situation has rapidly become unpleasant and acrimonious. I feel like we are being bullied and he would rather that we resigned. I would appreciate advice on how to deal with workplace bullying - I want to stay professional but I feel gutted and like crying if I am honest.

Anyone know of the legal angle on verbal/written redundancies?

Thanks in advance.

Well that's not a fair redundancy process at all. How long have you been working there?

Hi, thanks so much for replying (been away with the kids this afternoon).

I have been there 5 years. There is no HR dept as company is so small - and paperwork and processes are disorganised. It is a "creative" industry. most other staff don't even have contracts. They did abide by eg maternity pay for me when i brought the info to them, so not all bad.
