My poor brother has been living with that hanging over his head for two years now.

my brother spent several months under threat of redundancy
Then got made redundant. Then spent two years as a contractor doing the same job on a one month rolling contract after they realised they couldn't actually do without him. Idiots.

This happens a lot.
One of my bro's current colleagues was laid off by them a year ago - and is now paid more than his old wage by the morons.

Yeah, I've been lucky of late, it's maybe 5 years since it's happened to me and I was just getting used to the idea my current employers were not total lack-wits and I'd not have to be facing a constant cycle of threats of redundanciy
