# I'm facing yet another redundancy in March
They're giving me a surprisingly good payout though so I'm not unhappy about it.

# No, really.
They have been pretty generous considering I started the job in May. I'm not too worried.

# I'm on tenterhooks.
And I've worked out what I would get if I were/ am made redundant: about £1500.

Woo frigging hoo.

# Harsh.
The minimum is one month per year of service over here and it only gets taxed at 10%. They've offered me three months for five months service.

# From what I hear, it's £400/ year worked here.
Bleurgh.

We've heard nothing yet, but I'd rather be pleasantly surprised by keeping the job, or losing it and getting more than I expected, than unpleasantly surprised by losing it and getting next-to-nowt.

# Our entire site is closing down
fortunately what we do is so complex they can't close down until the end of 2012.

That's got to be one of the longest notice periods ever.
