So, as I posted a while ago, my daughter is being made redundant at the end of July for the second time in her life. And, just like last time, it is because her job is going to India.
Here's the kicker. She has been told that they are getting a pay rise, though she will only benefit for a month - but that is really for the few people they are keeping on. AND the Indians who are taking everyone's jobs have been flown here to be trained, and my daughter and the others being made redundant by them were expected to train them!!
My daughter, being who she is, is the ONLY one to have refused! Unbelievable that the others went along with it! She's also been told she won't get a penny of redundancy if she leaves early to get another job. If it weren't for the fact that, since she has been there years, she is getting a substantial amount she would tell them to stick it.
Astonishing that a big, international company can demand loyalty from staff and treat them so shabbily. She is blazing!
Anyway - she has never claimed any benefits in her life. With any luck she will get in a job quick sharp and won't have to. Fingers crossed. |

That's capitalism and globalisation for you. The sort of practices that led to the creation of unions.
Your daughter should try and negotiate her reference now. Good luck to her in her search for work. |

I saw the title and was going to post a flippant remark but having read the OPs post, I'd just like to say good on your daughter for telling them o shove it with the training and I hope she finds herself a new job without any problems   |

She will get a good reference, I think. She has been really good at her job and gained promotions and bonuses consistently in her time there. It's just really annoying her. She's texting me like fury this morning! I know she will be fine. She can finish her OU degree and get other work - even if it is stacking shelves. She's not afraid of hard work - never has been. She's worked since the age of 16. She just doesn't want to end up on benefits ever. Fills her with horror. But luckily she lives in the flat I own and I can simply let her live there rent free if need be. So, at least she won't be made homeless, though she will have to tighten her belt. |

Loyalty means very little unless you work for a select few organisations.
My thoughts on the matter are that we have a contract..... I agree to turn up and work, and they agree to pay me for doing so. Loyalty is a two way thing.... If another company offer someone a job on more money how many would turn it down out on the grounds of loyalty?? |

I understand what you are saying but what they are asking for is loyalty AFTER they have told them they are out of their jobs and after asking them to train the people who will be replacing them. That is NOT a two-way street as far as I see it. It also means that my daughter cannot get another job until she is, effectively, jobless or she loses a great deal of money. |
