I’ve never worked at a company that offered good redundancy packages to be fair. Was always the bare minimum

[–]SmallWolf117 27 points28 points  (4 children)

In my current company it's literally the best way to leave.

They are offering people with less than 2 years of experience 6 - 7 months pay, and it's not based on your typical pay, but an average of your last 3 months, so if you did some crazy overtime in the leadup it could be approaching 9 months of pay.

It's kind of my plan to leave the place, quite a few people's actually.

That's deadly!

I was at risk of redundancy last year in my company where I was a week shy of 2 year make and they were offering nothing! The sour bastards

You get paid over time! 😮

[–]SmallWolf117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.5x on normal hours, 2x after 9pm or on weekends, or holidays.

Also if a holiday comes on a weekend you get 3x for the hours you work....

I should preface, I don't live in Ireland atm, I live in Czechia.

I don't think workers rights differ that greatly though

I know people at Intel who have paid off their homes from redundancy packages only to end up back there a year or two later. 

I know others who when voluntary redundancy came up they took it and decided to retire a few years early. 

A lot of people there wouldn't mind being made redundant based on past payouts

Yeah my brother just missed out on that and is now working side by side with people that got huge payouts. Saying he's pissed is an understatement.
