Oh dear! What rotten news to receive at the end of the year. Sorry to hear that.
It reminds me of the same situation some years ago when I was made redundant due to restructuring. Luckily for me I have little family commitments, particularly no kids to worry about. I was on three months notice, and they paid me off after a month, then I found a job a month later so it all worked out well for me.
I hope it will for you as well
Thanks. It has been disappointing to say the least!
Hopefully, I am able to get a similar result. There is some padding in the severance that gets me through for a bit, but I will have to start looking soon. Not a great time to find anything at the moment though.
