Being made redundant soon , should I tell them what the workers think of them or leave with dignity?

depends, burning bridges etc. you never know if you will be working for or with current colleagues.

Sometimes, you never know, these companies come back to better times and re-hire. Depends if you’re 16 or not, basically.

Dirty protest? H block style then walk out!

Leave on good terms.

Poo in a drawer. Lock it. Take the keys.

I was in the advantageous position of knowing my boss was also leaving, so I could tell her she was a **** without worrying about any future repercussions. Well, I was slightly worried she’d burst my mouth.

Tell them but tell them the stiff up lip style … perhaps with a smile.

northwind – next job new boss = same boss …. would be an interesting first day 😀

Like this maybe?

As appealing as it sounds, there’s no need. Everyone I know who’s been made redundant, has found themselves better off not long after. If you want to rub their noses in it, stay friends with the people who remain and ensure word of your new found success gets passed on.

Never, ever burn bridges. Ever.

BURN THEM ALL !!!!

There you go OP – as long as you know Onzadog, you’ll be quids in

Whilst you shouldn’t ‘burn bridges’, we don’t know what it is you want to say.

They already know

If the workers think the bosses are sh1t you’ll probably find the bosses have the same view of the workers.

Saying something in these circumstances achieves nothing.

Chin up, walk away into a better job, what goes around may come around….

Oh and make sure your exit t&c’s give you the cash and freedom to get on rather than restricting you.

Take the money and go. Leave on good terms with everyone as you never know what may come along. I am speaking from personal experience, it was painful.

An ex-colleague of mine worked with someone else (who was an idiot by the way) four times in the course of a 30 year career, all in different companies. My advice is don’t burn bridges, especially if it’s a small, specialised industry.

if its not nailed down , its your redundancy,

if you can access the water tank a bottle of washing up liquid in there works wonders, as does the same thing in all the toilet cisterns,

loosening off a few pipe joints on the central heating,also helps keep the place cool,

cup of coffee spilt over a keyboard,

glue in the locks,

inflated condom down the u bend of the toilets,

misplace the remote controls for the air con,

shred some important files,

Theres a huge list, but dont get caught.

If they’re taking the p out of the workforce and you think you can actually make them listen then go for it. Esp if you’re going to regret not saying something.

A flounce would be a waste of time though. Do it properly if you’re going to do it at all.

I burned bridges in my last industry. I found a new one with my dignity and spine in tact.

I think our bosses have got the message 💡

We have had to sit through a 28 page PowerPoint presentation on the companies Respect and Ethics policy 🙄

Might be in the same position as OP in the near future the way things are going 🙄

It is a small world, so burning bridges always has the possibility of causing you problems in the future – it’s just not worth the risk.

Not going to happen. But if it did, it’d be a short first day, I’d call her a **** again and leave 😆

I think some people miss the point of venting as you leave- it’s not for them, it’s for you. OK, it’s possible they’ll learn something interesting but frankly, couldn’t care less- it’s almost better if they don’t.

I probably would have 15 years ago – but a bit more measured these days…

Decided to leave with dignity in the end, hadn’t been gone a week and they’ve asked me to go back which ain’t gonna happen as I hated my job so much, already sorting out funding for training in a new career.

Join the unemployed due to redundancy club 🙂 every day’s a Saturday, it’s great!

You did right not to burn bridges.

job centre try to get you to do jobs that pay less than benefit– err no thanks, i’ll get on my bike.. 😉

You should never burn fridges

just walk out the door you owe them nothing.. when i left my last salaried role i finished my shift and went home as though it was a normal day. which it was until i ‘d got in my car then the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders and i started to live.

Never burn bridges – the place that made me redundant re-hired me 4 months later and I needed the money desperately by that point.

Admittedly I only stayed with them another 4 months or so before getting anohter job but it was a much needed job in the meantime.

Good move. Feel free to vent on this forum though 🙂
