Officially Redundant.
« on: 21 July 2011, 14:07:29 »
As mentioned a few weeks back....

I have now officially been made redundant.

I leave Lloyds Banking Group on the 31st October, with 16 years service to the day!

Not all served with them...

I was given my job by :
Northwest Securities
who changed their name to :
NWS Bank
who changed their name to :
Capital Bank
Who was then brought into the parent company of :
Bank Of Scotland
who sold me to :
IBM
who sold me back to
HBOS
who merged with
Lloyds Banking Group.

16 Years, 7 Companies, 1 Desk  ;D


Sad that I am glad to be leaving.

Here's to the future!

not good news jim within the climate at the moment, hope you find something to go into by then. would imagine you should get a decent pay off or does it not count as not being with the same company?.

the amount of companies actually goes in my favour as I was temporary for the 1st few years, that wouldnt count if it was all one company, but thanks to tupe my start date is the 1st day I started.

Luckily its a generous package and well over the statutory minimum.

Weighing up future options, but have a few ideas.

aye, they are offloading at least 45000 over the last / next year so have to make it attractive to hit their figures.
alternative is apply for my own job and commute 2800 miles a month!

erm, no thanks.

not nice news, but not the end of the world..

and monthly 2800 miles commute is a real risk from my previous job experiences.. imo,  if you are not forced to, stay away..

I'm sure you will find another , so keep your heart positive.. good luck Jimbob :y

It won't hit you until the first day you don't go in.

You will then feel betrayed, even if you volunteered for redundancy and go through a grieving process that can be quite deep.

You will come out the other side.

Advise those close to you at home to be prepared.

All the best.

At least the package is decent... Better than you expected? ::)

I may well be going down the lines of medical severance in the next 6 weeks or so, if I can't get medical redeployment within the company, which isn't a particularly attractive thought :( Although at least they will give me a pay off, albeit nothing very spectacular :y
