Fiance was made redundant today...

So sorry to hear that Ali but sounds like you have got some ideas about how to deal with whatever the future brings so wish you both the best of luck and hope OH finds something soon.

Even if it is expected as you say its still always a shock.

Oh Ali. That is pants. Just wanted to give you a ? . Hope things work out for you both soon.

That is rubbish about the job. Hope he finds another one soon.

Can't help you much but can send a big hug ?.

Aw Ali thats awful - sorry to hear your bad news. Looks like you are being positive about it all which is good. You've got plans for the way forward from here which is brilliant.

Best of luck!!!

Sorry to hear that Ali ☹️ but looks like you're planning ahead which is sensible

Aw Ali that sucks but at least he got a decent payout and fingers crossed he can get a job quickly. x

That's awful Ali. What line of work was he in? x

Mine too, it sucks doesn't it? He's only been there 2 years so no big payoff for him, infact from the sounds of things I am convinced they are going to try and screw him over.

Pants!! sorry to hear that, even if you were half expecting it, its still not a nice thing. I'm sure he'll find something suitable and soon, keeping everyfink crossed x

Thats rubbish news Ali - sorry to hear that

xx

Really sorry to hear that, it's definitely a worrying time at the moment.

As others have said though, it looks as if you've got the right positive attitude, and thankfully you can still have your wedding. It's great that he at least got a decent pay out. Hope he manages to find something else soon.

That's really crap Ali. Sorry to hear that and hope everything works out for you both.

Keep smiling - its really rotten i know - i was made redundant last year and it was horrible - you will come through and things always happen for a reason.

Big hugs x

That is horrible news Ali! At least he will get a decent pay out, and being in a job that long always looks good I think. I hope he finds something suitable quickly.

CD - sorry to hear your news too.

Aw no Ali im sorry ? hope that everything works out okay xx

So sorry to hear this Ali. Sounds like you have already got provisional plans, and so glad your wedding wont be affected by it. Hope something comes up for your h2b soon ?

Oh cr4p! Poor you! Glad to hear that you are (as well as you can be) prepared for it though. good on you for having budgeted sensibly for a wedding you can realsiitcially afford and having enough to live on through a few lean months too! Good luck for his job hunt - and fingers crossed he gets something even better paid and that he enjoys - and asap so that it all works out to your advantage in the end.

(feel a bit guilty for having just posted a completely trivial problem right nect to this now ?) Sorry!

That's rubbish news but all too common at the moment. On the positive side it's a chance to try something new. My OH always wanted to be self employed and when he was made redundant decided to risk it. Best thing that ever happened to us, works brilliantly with childcare and my job, and now he can employ his sons too.

Ali and CD

Rotten rotten rotten. No matter if it was expected or not its still horrible to go through. Ali you sound really positive and I think this really makes a difference.

Things do happen for a reason (although at the time it may not feel like it) and maybe the chance to do something he really wants?

Positive vibes!!!!

Ali thats a big pile of poop but glad to hear you're being fairly philosophical about it (is that the correct spelling?!) Hope the job hunt goes well and doesn't affect your enjoyment of the lead up to your big day!

CD - that too is pants - sorry to hear.

Sending positive thoughts to you both and wishing you a lottery win :0)

x

Sorry to hear that Ali, at least there is a silver lining with the payout. What business was your OH in? Its crap at the mo isn't it every day there is another company closing. I was in town today and shocked at the number of empty shops.

Hugs for you

Bugger.

Horrible thing to happen but hopefully something positive will come out of it. As others have asked, what line of work is your H2B in?

Oh Ali - thats awful even if you see it coming its never easy is it? Great that he's got a good payout and if he gets a job before that runs out then thats a bigger bonus isn't it?

I know how it feels, I have been in a contract for a year and they have been saying for a while we hope to make you permanent etc, I found out on Friday they can't extend it even. Times are so tough for everyone, but like others said it sounds like you have a plan and it will be a great test for married life and showing each other support and love. Best wishes for his search x

Both Ali and CD - that's rubbish. Hope they manage to find something suitable soon and aren't too upset by it all. x

Thanks for the good wishes all. And CD - sorry to hear that you're going through a similar thing. And Cat - sorry that things are not looking so bright for you either.

Iain was in records management and archiving for an oil company.

They're working up until Easter, then he's on "gardening" leave. The garden needs doing actually, so maybe that's quite appropriate!

Ali, that's awful ☹️ ?'s to both of you...glad that you have some plans laid out already and hopefully yoour h2b will find something soon.

Aw thats a shame. what is he going to do now?

my oh is being made redundant in may - they are closing the company. he doesnt get a payoff, as there isnt any money to give them!! It will be the week after our honeymoon.

Oh Lucy, that's really crap. Do they not even have to give them the statutory redundancy? I thought that was the law? I could be wrong though.

I'm spending lunchtime trawling the job sites! I think he should do mystery shopping!
