There's a button for that.

I can't find the "well, that sucks button"???? Maybe I'll just vote, "I agree, your life sucks" instead.

you do that #26. Whilst we're at it, maybe I'll just thumb you down.

First time being buried. RIP.

#26 second time now

I need pop~corn! I'll try not to burn it over the roasted #26 lol no hard feelings..I hope. *slaps* the "That was easy button!"

#61 I wouldn't call it "roasting", I was just being sarcastic and apparently it was shit. I'm getting a good laugh out of being buried, so oh well. Rest In Peace my comments.

#26 I cant find the 'go get a haircut you American prick' button I'll just give you my middle finger

Or his resignation

Or even better, a raise :)

Why in the world would OP resign now? Being laid off can provide severance benefits depending on the job and quitting won't give OP shit.

ORRRR....even better your the new manager!! His ass 'down the the toilet', kodos!

If the business is forced to make him redundant it isn't the fault of the boss but of the business, for example using machines instead of people... the business has no use for as many people so they are made redundant and are given a notice and compensation until they can get back on their feet.

Sorry, I'm kinda dumb. What's enforced redundancy? I googled it but it didn't really make sense

#16 - I'm actually not sure myself, but based upon context, I'm guessing it's that the person in question was trained to do things multiple time, thus legally alleviating responsibility from the company they work for and taking responsibility for themselves, since they were taught to "double check" everything they do. That could be a home run or an air ball, hopefully somebody else will clarify for us.

Sounds to me like he was ordered to write his own termination letter.

#24 - Ahh, that could be it. Enforced redundancy could be a resignation letter in which the COMPANY is faulted because the employee feels they've overhired for the position, and he's basically treading water without enough to do each day. So, it's a way for the employee to earn some benefits, similar to a firing except more extravagant, but still be able to quit since it was the fault of the company in the first place for overestimating what it needed.

Or, you know, you could Google it instead of guessing.

"Redundancy" is what we Americans call "laid off". If OP's position is redundant, the company either eliminated OP's job or is downsizing OP's department. It's technically being terminated, except OP is being let go because the job no longer exists, not because of OP's job performance. It's always better to be laid off than fired-- there is usually a severance package and the chance for a good recommendation for another job.

Here, I did it for you: "Employees are typically made redundant as a result of their employer needing to reduce its workforce or because the job they do is no longer required. This usually happens because a company needs to slash costs in times of hardship – or even because new technology has made employing someone unnecessary."

How dare people use their analytical skills to break down definitions based upon context and base words instead of taking the easy route?

I'm American and I've never heard the term used.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude. I was trying to say that there's no point guessing in the context of FML, as it will often just lead to being down voted if you guessed wrong. Once again, sorry for coming off as rude, as that was not my intention.

Not here for upvotes, just to comment what I think. Couldn't care less if I get buried.

Attaboy.

what does being an American have to do with anything? OP is in Germany

Sorry-- that was poorly worded. I meant that in America, we call it being laid off, while Europeans tend to call it redundancy. Commenting before coffee is not cool.

Oh, that explains why I didn't know what it was. It's the international equivalent of laid off. So I was almost correct the second time, then. Company overhiring for their needs and downsizing, although not with more benefits than an actual firing.

#9 the op is not being fired they are being laid off so filing a hr report would get the op possibly fired and lose all of the severance package

#10 its the person who made the post

Ocean pacific

If it was in an email or text, OP could probably win in court, at least in the US. Not sure if wrongful termination is a thing in Germany.

18, there are laws governing wrongful termination in most countries. At the same time though I know some states in the US also do not have them in place, such as Oklahoma is called an "at will" state, meaning they can let you go at any time without reason. Hopefully OP is not in a position where this is the case and could take it to court.
