Found out late on Friday that we are all being made redundant in about 6 months. The good news is that we should get about 6 months pay (tax free of course) and we're getting a bonus..... When we actually leave as part of the reduntancy package.

It's a shame... I actually like my job :(

Oh feck :( :(

True mate that is the plus side I guess. But I can't leave before I get made reduntant in 6 months or so. If I do leave I won't get my redundancy.

But I'll still have 6 months pay to tide me over till I get another job..Hopefully it won't be that hard to get one...hopefully!

Sorry to hear it mate, hope something turns up soon.

Then again, you might get asked back, from what I've heard of previous Barclays takeovers...

Nah... get a job for 6 months time (just like that ;) ) and then blow lots of that 6-month's-worth pay-off with Bren... :D

Seriously, if you were working for Charles Schwab, it shouldn't be too hard to pick up another position, right?

True.... well that the theory.
