Re: If you think you are safe - you are kidding yourself
Yep, great timing wasn't it? Redundancy 101 - do not make the announcement on a Friday - some may require support which will not be available over the weekend.
You're right - these aren't redundancies in that the roles will cease to exist, the roles will simply be moved, which I understand can be a valid reason for redundancy.
Sad for the people involved...
