Redundancy Notice - I am being d*cked around - Help!
Discussion
I'll try and condense this as much as I can.
About a month ago, my company - a FTSE250 company with about 1700 employees decided we needed to put together a 3 year plan.
The "top 30 snr leaders" (of which I was one) of the company got together at an offsite meeting to put the plan together.
The aim of the exercise was to refocus strategy and take cost out of the business (a lot of cost)
We were given full disclosure on the financial state of the company and where we needed to make the cost savings and we worked in groups to figure out exactly where and how many people we needed to let go (a horrible task, especially given that it was the current Exec team that had got us in this bad position in the first place).
During this meeting I had a falling out with the CFO, who basically shouted me down in front of my collegues - I was somewhat shocked as i was only doing what i was asked to do. After the meeting I went home, sank a bottle of red, called it a bad day and then went to bed.
The next day at the office I was stonewalled by most of the Execs, they pulled me out of the communication chain on the strategy stuff and my boss (who only a day before said that I was one of the most important people in the company and that he personally vouched that i should be part of these meetings) started being very off with me.
To cut a long story short, i have now been told that my job is at risk of redundancy. I am sure that this is all down to this offsite meeting and a falling out with the CFO - its basically personal.
When i challenged my boss about who else was at risk, he just mumbled and said "some others". The other thing that concerns me is that there are no others at my work who have the same role as me, so it pretty much sounds like I am in an at risk group which only has 1 person in it.
So what should i do now?
- I have these financial disclosure data from the company that identifies where custs needed to be made. Out of all the departments , mine was the only one that showed additional investment was needed (but now it seems i am going to be cut), is this any use?
I know they are dicking me around, but what should I do next?

Go grab richburley and give him a ring... give him the overview in the free call and he will tell you your options and how to play it.

If he doesnt get in touch or you can get hold of him I can give you his personal mobile (hes a friend of mine).
In fact if I write here he will probably spot it in a few minutes and if not I will point him here.
