    Ask them if their employer paid for their retirement (pension). Ask if they were repeatedly laid off because the work can be done [poorly] cheaper in another country. Ask if they were union.

    Many companies used to be loyal to their employees and vice versa. That is all but gone now and the companies cry that nobody is loyal.

      Having just been made redundant this week after 15 years this is so true.

      I managed it very well, very rarely having committed more than my allotted hours each week but I know for many they would have to have been very disciplined to achieve this.

      I leave with no malice or ill feeling as a result. I’d hate to think how I’d feel otherwise
