Oh Kazzie how awful for you. I would first just take some time out to recover from the shock, try and relax a bit, then start looking at possibilties for jobs, think about what you would really like to do, maybe use the time to dream some dreams and look at options for the future, a positive thing rather than negative. Hope you find what you need soon thinking of you

Take care

You poor thing.
I was made redundant in January and now have a new job but I think all the upheaval has contributed to my anxiety/panic. You will be fine, don't rush into anything and keep positive and make sure you keep going out and about even if it's just for a pint of milk just so you don't stagnate in the house.

Take care xx

Hi Kaz.

Sorry to hear about your job, I was sacked from my proper job not long ago and its not nice at all. Have been looking for a job for ages. You are entitled to some kind of benefit if you have been made redundant so it may be worth giving the job centre a ring. If you are too panicky to go out and look for a job then perhaps you could use the internet to look for one? Hope you find a job soon mate.

Hi Kaz

I teach employment law and if your redundancy has occurred in the manner you have stated your employer is out of procedure as there has been no consultation procedure either individually or collectively - tell them you'll settle for a compromise agreement or you'll take them to the employment tribunal.

Good luck - feel the fear and do it anyway

Sorry Kaz but that did make me laugh, stuck at home alone with your mates panic and anxiety, that is so true, I am in that situation at the moment. Sorry to hear that you have lost your job, I hope eventually you will get the courage to look for another one.

Good luck,

Polly

Sorry to hear about your job Kazzie. As you didn't like the job much try to see it as a positive and use the time to find something you really want to do.
take care
