An FO who I joined with last year thankfully still has his job. He was working in a different country and the axe didn't fall on his area. I don't think that performance played much of a part of the selection even though it's mentioned in the redundancy criteria. Wrong place and you were out on a last in/first out basis from what I can make of it. Purely academic however, the whole situation sucks. Particularly disappointing from a company thats as cash rich as Wizz Is.

best of luck,could well be joining you shortly
