On the 1st week back after Christmas my partner got called in to a big meeting with the company saying they're making his entire team redundant because the project can't be funded anymore. The company is a massive Indian company and instead of transferring my partner to a different project, they make you reinterview for any position that comes up on a dofferent project. We live in the north, have a house, tennancy agreement and the only things they offered him where 4 hours away.
Luckily he found a new position and his bosses said they were “surprised” to hear about his resignation!!!!
Surprised when you make them all redundant 1 week after Christmas instead of transferring the team to a new project nearby? Why not just hire people on temporary contracts instead? Instead of lying about their job security!
