Reduce hours = reduced redundancy (six months)
NASTY trick!
My hubs worked for Shell in a local garage - he was *incentivised* to take a hours reduction and six months after they make everyone who took the hours cut redundant - at much reduced redundancy costs - as payoff contractually depends upon the last six months pay levels.
The fact that he worked there for six years effectively running the bloody place does not count.
I would suspect a similar agenda.
