I have been made redundant four times, have had the awful task of making others redundant four times, and the guidelines were followed every time, and all of those companies (except one) are still in business.
(The one that isn’t was a Financial Services company, and it failed in 2008…)

Was O2 or any of those other companies at immediate risk of otherwise going bust? Their rivals had already cut jobs at that point.
A business isn't going to do things this way, unless there are sound business reasons for doing so. Eg trying to avoid disruption because of inevitable strikes.
