When you consider they actually warned us of this action back in April, we actually got, in effect, over nine months notice. This for me has always been one of the company's good features...if they DO have to get rid of your post (happened twice to me now) they seem to be quite fair in doing so.
To wit, they needn't have told me til October 1st but actually told me on April 5th.

Well I was told last night that the people affected will be getting 30 days notice, they will know before the end of this month and will be gone before christmas. I think the affected people will be getting confirmation next week, I'm fairly sure they never got 90 days last time it happened in that department but I wouldn't like to put my money where my mouth is.
They are looking at cost cutting and need to have people gone before the Christmas, I can only guess it's something to do with the quarterly figures. If I was a cynical person I would say that getting rid of 90 managers will go a fair way towards paying for the 500 poeple they are taking on in manchester.
I guess the lowest paid would be 30K plus 400 a month car allowance! That would probably pay half the wages for the 500 they are taking on in manchester
