Call You and Yours: What did redundancy do to you?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

MPs who lost their seats have a matter of days to clear their desks and leave their jobs. What is it like to lose your job like this? Have you been made redundant at short notice. How did you cope? Did you change your life for the better or does it still affect your confidence? New research from the University of Manchester suggests it takes up to ten years to regain your trust and confidence after a redundancy. Was this your experience? How did it affect your family and friends? How long does it take to recover and start again? What advice would you offer to others facing a redundancy situation?
