Despite being aware that job cuts would be coming it was still a massive shock that this upheaval was coming my way. This would include the news that my job was proposed to be deleted. As I walked down the corridor to my office I was called back by a senior manager ‘Lauren, could I have a word?’ My heart sunk as I thought ‘well I know what this is about…’ Lo and behold I received the news that later that day a consultation document would be distributed to all staff. It was going to be a busy day with lots of volunteers and project work. It was an ordinary Tuesday morning in November. Every year we’d be wondering and waiting for the news. So every year from September onwards me and my colleagues would be aware that news of job cuts would be coming. Lovely word to describe the massive upheaval that’s coming your way, isn’t it? I worked for a local authority and every year budgets would be cut. In November last year I had the news that my post was being considered for deletion. I share how this has affected my choice of career moving forwards. It’s quite personal and I share how being made redundant affected my mental and physical health.
