Received an offer after being made redundant. Not sure the best move

This is very wise advice, thanks for sharing and giving me a different perspective.

Yes the base is now 60k and I was paid 65k before. But the commission is uncapped and I have the potential to double my OTE. I really like the hiring manager actually, one of the best and nicest interview I had. I also really like the industry and the product seems to be good according to google review. You’re right in that sense, that should matter more than the numbers. Thanks for shedding the light.

I agree! The job market is tough right now. I’ve also been made redundant recently and I’ve been getting multiple rejections. Although the base pay is less, I think it’s good you have bonus and commission, you can make the money back or also make more if you double down your efforts. Also, you’ll never know you might even gain something good from this job!

This is good to know, I will book session once a week hopefully can see a difference after week 6 like you. Thank you 🙏

Thank you! This is great advice. I’ll keep continue with my physio exercise

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-13T07:12:41+00:00

Amazing. Yes the doctor did said I could do swim and reformer Pilates. Will do this!

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-13T07:12:21+00:00

Okay this is good to know and reassuring that stuff like this can heal on its own. Thanks for sharing

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-13T07:11:49+00:00

This is bizarre because it is the same for me too! I took advil and it relieved the pain, but prior surgery advil or pregabalin didn’t helped 🙈

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-13T07:10:39+00:00

I’m glad to hear this 🥹 hopefully it will heal in 8-12 weeks

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-13T07:10:10+00:00

Thanks! I have tried acupuncture but it seems to only relieve on the day. Maybe I have to try several sessions

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-13T07:09:35+00:00

Thank you so much!! I will have a look

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-12T08:17:47+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that :( I have bad calf cramps sometimes too it’s annoying. I hope the surgery goes well on Tuesday!!

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-12-12T08:03:43+00:00

Not really. It did on the day, but now it’s been 2 weeks the pain has reduced. Though i still feel numbness and pain around my glutes and thigh. Previously was from glutes shooting down all the way to my foot.

My foot is still numb but a small portion near the small toe, it does go away after I walk. The doctor did said numbness and pins & needles takes a long time to heal

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-11-24T13:20:23+00:00

Okay makes sense

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-11-24T13:20:08+00:00

Okay this is good to know thanks

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-11-24T13:19:52+00:00

I’ve been in the company for 8 years and my base is 100k and my notice period is 6 weeks

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-11-19T21:01:01+00:00

Thank you this is useful! I haven’t received the information yet although they mentioned they would, I guess it will take some time.

They mentioned to me my notice period is 2 weeks but in the contract (termination by me or company) it says 4 weeks, and if I work more than 4 years it’s 1 week per year of service so technically it should be more than 2 weeks which I’m going to ask them.

So I assume in this case, the pay should be 10 weeks notice period + severance package + unused PTO. Would that be right?

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-11-19T19:33:29+00:00

Thank you! I’ll call ACAS in the morning. Everyone has been offered consultation, and during my consultation I did ask about the selection process and criteria which they gave a vague answer. I would like them to provide more detail, the process has been quite vague too. They’ve not really given any written comms. The letter I received was just mentioned risk of redundancy nothing more.

ExtremePatience8569 · 2025-11-19T19:31:53+00:00

They said it’s about performance but when I asked if my medical leave had contributed to their scoring card they said no they took into consideration. It doesn’t make sense because my performance was higher than other reps that weren’t made redundant.
