Hi all
Newbie to this and seeking advice and thoughts on our current situation. My wife started a new job in a managerial role at the start of this month (May 0
. On Monday of last week, less than 2 weeks after starting, the entire office / branch was served notice of redundancy (market trends etc). We are concerned that this situation and course of action was known to the powers that be before she took up her position. The company in question is a large nationwide concern and not one that we thought would be prone to making such decisions off the cuff without forward planning. My wife's office is not the only one affected (around 600 people in all) and the operation was carried out with military precision across the country on the day in question. We are of a mind that if this decision had been taken or was under discussion prior to the job offer being made, that surely the organisation (I use the term loosely) is accountable to some degree to the fact the my wife left her previous post to take up their offer of employment and now finds herself about to be unemployed. I would welcome any thoughts on this as we both feel that she has been treated very badly by this organisation who claim that "you can rely on us".
