Sad to hear that Baz and wish you all the best.
Like others said, don't worry too much, happens to all of us.
Job security is a thing of the past.
Keeping the fingers crossed for you!

Bad news...I've just come out of 90 days collective consultation and I've now got 30 days individual. Not great, but I'm looking at it positively, and I feel a LOT better for the certainty, even if it's the wrong answer!

There will be other jobs...and good ones. Best of luck!
