Redundancy question

[Chubbycheeks85]

Hi I was wondering if anyone could provide an opinion
When going through employment redundancy, there’s 4 of us as risk on our shift, we have our final consultation meeting on Monday which we will be told if we are redundant or retained. Is there generally an order they will do this in? Ie will retained staff be told first or ones being made redundant?
Thanks for any input life is very stressful at the moment
So I’m aware I posted this on another post earlier this was done accidentally

Thank you to anyone who comments

There is no set method. They could do it in any order they like. Sorry. Having had to do this before now, there is no kind way to or order to tell people.

Moondust001 Thank you for your response.
My meeting is the last one I was hoping It would be a good sign but I guess we shall wait and see what Monday brings. I no it’s not ideal for any of us at the moment in time but with a family to support we have to be selfish and think of our own.

No I don't think so , I went through it too so I sympathise it's really shit .
The person that went was 2nd out of 4 of us .
Hopefully fingers crossed it will be ok for you .

@islockdownoveryet when you say the person that went second out of the 4 of you were they made redundant or retained? Head it well and truly up ones ar$e at the moment haha x

made redundant but actually it was 3 in the end as one was redeployed and me and the other were kept on . I was 2nd to last and the last was also kept on , but I'm not sure if there was any significance in the order .

I'd normally schedule the last person as one who is staying because (a) they gave the most nerve-wracking wait and (b) on a personal level, after having to make people redundant (which is obviously much worse for them but still difficult for the manager) the person doing the telling will normally want to finish by delivering good news.

@islockdownoveryet @OverTheRubicon. Thank you for your comments. I have my fingers crossed and hoping my fate is the same x
