Carlingman you are 100% right in all you say.

I have seen this sort of thing too many times, but still when I issue warnings of impending doom people laugh at me or call me 'negative'. Boy do I HATE that word. But I digress.

I predicted my last two redundancies, and in fact the more recent one I predicted last February and it wasn't announced until April. I even correctly predicted which office the jobs would go to. I have predicted again that my current job is headed for redundancy, not immediately but within 12 months. Again I am derided as negative, we shall see. The signs are all there. And again, I know which office it's going to go to.

Perhaps this is the real reason large companies seem to always be keen to ditch experienced staff in redundancy programmes. They know too much and are too long in the tooth to have the wool pulled over their eyes, they can see through everything that's done.
