I HATE my bosses! Some of you may know my firm was seeking redundancies in various departments. We got sent a load of bumf to say that, if a certain area had more people wanting to leave than management had asked for, they might consider moving staff from other areas to cover the gaps. but that it would be decided once we all knew who was going.
Today we had the announcement of who was going. One department got more redundo applications than they'd asked for, which is surprising because they have the cushiest gig out of any of us. Better hours, less shite. My department didn't get enough people applying.
But instead of asking us to apply for one of the vacant cushy jobs (as they'd said they would in all the bumf they sent out at the start of the process) they have just shoe-horned one of their fave pets in. She gets the job - and none of the rest of us were even given a chance to say if we wanted it, or ask to be considered for it.

I am in a union, and we'd voted to strike if there were any compulsory job losses. But to be honest I think they'll just be glad to be able to avoid that, and not care too much about anything else.

That made me snort - thanks They're "rationalising" working practices here, which means more job losses again in a few months, probably. Bollox to the lot of them.
Why not put thiese issues to your union and let them decide the rights and wrongs of this decision about their favourite pet
its why you pay them - after-all

I might email them, when I'm a bit less boiling mad and can be trusted not to fill my message with words like "wankers", "feckwits" and "bare-arsed crooks"

It went Orwellian - some are more equal than others, in this place. Particularly if they like kissing management arse.Reference:

I detest the inner workings of the workplace Toid. Where`s the support, the good will, the commaraderie?
It`s disappeared..GONE!
I`m self employed, not making loads but comfortable enough. I`d rather be skint than have to go back to that teeth grinding dog eat dog atmosphere.
People are shoits sometimes...I`ve never really understood why.
Try not to be so angry Toid (easier said than done, I know) it`s not worth it...it really isn`t.

No-one as far as I know. She's just thick as thieves with management and already did my head in, even before this.

Unfortunately, I cannot shake the feeling that some employers enjoy the recession just so they have an excuse not to be fair and reasonable....
Thanks, Scotty, you're dead right.

Don't - I've already fallen over once today. Still got faint mud stains..
I was made redundant in August and the way the company treated my colleagues including myself was disgusting.
They lied to our faces and advertised our jobs down south without even telling us we were being made redundant.
Well pleased I'm out of there now.

I agree with Scotty, if there is anything you can do on your own then do it. I couldn't stand being ordered about by automatons so I walked. I get nothing like the same amount of cash but retained my sanity.
