Voluntary Retrenchment

[Dave A]

So do you think I can put in VR next monday, when I am sure of the new job?

That depends on the deadline for applications for voluntary retrenchment. It's also worth bearing in mind that the company isn't obliged to accept your application for VR.

Hi Dave. The proccesses just started about a week ago. A company that is very much in the news at the moment, because 14000 people are going to be retrenched.
So I think there will still be some time left. People got their letters, but have to "wait and see" what is going to happen. In 2 months, those who recieved letters will know if they still going to have work or not.
I can't afford to wait and see what is going to happen at this company. Our branch is also in the market, and depending on who buys it, we can all lose our jobs. The future here looks bad.
So what I am planning only has 1 downfall. And that is that they can say no.
I can live with that. I was just concerned that there might be a legal issue.
Thank you so much for the help and support! I feel at home here! Amazing site! And amazing people!

Testing times for the nerves, I'm sure. I hope it all works out for you, Angel.
