Redundancy

I started my current job, well, not exactly my current job, rather a job with my current employer, on September 16th 2013. I've progressed from that original position of Security Operative to Fulfilment Centre Administrator, IT Assistant, First Line IT Support, just IT Support (1st and 2nd line) and finally Systems Engineer.

Unfortunately, that's all going to come to a halt in January 2023; the 16th is the likely date, which would be 9 years and 4 months to the day. Our main client has elected to move their business from Cumbria to another Fulfilment Centre in Devon. The existing contract and employees are transferring to the new employer under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations. However, since the new employer is in Devon and we are settled in Cumbria I have no interest in uprooting and moving, so after the TUPE transfer I'll probably, in fact almost certainly, be made redundant.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my job over the last 9 years; I've learned a lot and developed my skill set, and have made some great friends.
