Ditto, and still job hunting
Best of luck for finding another job, what sort of stuff are you looking for Phil?
Time seems to fly by at an alarmingly rapid rate, one minute it's early sping, now it's almost a year since I finished!
Sorry to hear that
Sorry to hear that- sends a shiver down my spine when I hear this happening to people. Happened to the wife last year- totally out of the blue. Tough times indeed.
I guess you've gotta just cast a wide net and give each job lead the best prep you can. She did this and although nothing much happened to begin with she ended up with three job offers!
All the best to you.

I work in IT. I manage a team of 7 engineers. PC and network support.
I've been with the company 15 years so I have 12 weeks notice and a half decent redundancy package to keep me going.
If I get another job soon, it'll be a nice little cab fund

Bad news
We've got our 'annual redundancy conference call' on Monday as well, hoping I'll be OK.
You could have a look at contracting for the short term, plenty of money to be made, and there are jobs out there, although you do of course forfeit the usual benefits of permanent employment.

I was/am in IT as well, tho wasn't managing anyone, was part of the global network team for Sonae in the last 2 years at the place, prior to that I was doing almost all IT excluding databases (pretty much because I hated them, tho I did starttinkering with MySQL alongside learning some PHP )
I had almost 12 years there and got a fairly 'decent' payoff (well, I considered it decent!), but of course it doesn't last all that long with paying bills etc if there isn't a wage coming in to replenish it. I was amazingly restrained when I got mine, pretty much the only 'big' spend was on my FTO (and it was only £800, plus a few hundred for insurance and tax), and that was partly because my old Calibra was on it's last legs as well. Could have gone nuts and bought new bigger TV (which I really was tempted to do...), plus cabs galore. Really hope you get something else soon (I would have been quite happy for contract work for a change of scene and of course better money), at least that way you can enjoy some of a bad situation. Good luck
