Sorry to read this.
I'm in a similar position but was coming up to two years with employer so no rights what so ever.

Cant add more to what is already said here... good advice.
How are the others 6 in the team handling it? Maybe easier to negotiate as a team rather than individually...
Well it turns out two were seconded to the position so they're going back. The manager has accepted his pay off as there is not alternative position. 1 lass have now been seconded to her another department. Leaves 2 of em with potentially 1 new role to take the place of all of em available. But the other guy has 15 years experience and is God father to the national bosses kid...
So whilst the position is now redundant, I think it's gonna be just the missus that is cut.
This morning when they all got the call, they were all best friends against the company. Now as things come to light is kinda all about themselves. Which is totally understandable.
I can see a tribunal for unfair dismissal coming up (if the Godfather bit is true)... Threaten to go to tribunal and dont settle for less money. The company does not care, neither should you.
It is true. But the two guys have worked their way through the company together. That being said cherry picked Debs (missus) for the role. Put himself on the line to get her the role when she wasn't qualified. He's a good friend.
I mentioned it more out of frustration. Being brutally honest. He's the better qualified for the new role.
The only angle the missus has is that she's the better part of 15k cheaper. So if they are making cuts on a financial basis it may help her cause.
A better day today.
Provisional severance offer made. She has a final meeting tomorrow to discuss the potential of her going back to be a cinema manager but been as the only role available is Blackpool, I think that’s just the powers that be crossing the I’s so to speak.
The offer is to cover all her holiday she’s accrued this year, and would have next year in her 10 remaining weeks of notice, but to allow her to finish on the 16th with 3 months pay in Lieu or notice. They countered the bonus request with an offer. The Basic is 6% and they are reviewed in March prior to payment where they can almost double it on performance. She’s averaged 10%. So a flat 5% is more than I’d expected tbh.
So hopefully once it comes around she’s of had a few weeks to get used to it. Can have Xmas off and then hit the ground running somewhere new.
Thought I’d update this as it’s been a very good result in the end.
She settled for a payoff which in the end was everything we felt she was entitled too, they didn’t quibble after she put in written reasons for it all.
As luck would have it, that took 3 months to resolve which meant her final pay date is the 23rd this month having been let go 2 weeks ago and starting a new job on better terms last week.....
