This week i got told that my role has been made redundant and that a colleague is filing a formal grievance against me

So the grievance is someone who is also being made redundant and who has been causing problems for me since January. I requested a mediation session in May as her attitude and behaviour was quite toxic. She filed this grievance against me but neither my line manager or hr are able to see what the grievance actually is. HR even commented that the timing of it points to her trying to make a claim to supplement a redundancy payoff.

This, whilst stressful, is just added to the devasting news of my job. It took a while for me to get back to work - something i couldn't have done without Voodoo and Smokin' - and i really love my job.

There are 5 in my area and level and just 2 roles. I guess the above colleague has ruled herself out by her behaviour...when the announcement was made she has not come into work... the other one is possibly over qualified ...but still i may well be out of a job in a few weeks.

Find it all so much to process.

That’s a effed up situation, I hope your line manager and hr are taking care of it. You don’t need further stress than you already have. I’m rooting for you and hope you’ll be able to hold one of the remaining positions. I’m sending you all my positive energy. Let me know if you want to have talks. 🫂

I'm so sorry about the job.

I hope the grievance is seen for what it is sour grapes and angling for compensation but her behaviour is seen as the problem.

Take care of yourself. Xx

@OldBrit i think it is, i have been told not to worry about the grievance.
Try and stay positive. I don't know your field but maybe you can find something somewhere that is less toxic.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the place isnt toxic though - it is just this one person

How about a winner-takes-all cage match? Winner decides who stays and who gets the redundancy package? Could save you all a lot of paperwork!

@BabyLonia Don’t know what you’re waiting for. You have seen the writing on the wall. But good luck with it.
