Laws can be changed, but it takes time. Time we don't have.
This is from Collins online dictionary. I don't make the rules.
Definition of 'redundant'
(rɪdʌndənt
)
1.
ADJECTIVE
If you are made
redundant, your
employer tells you to leave because your job is no longer necessary or because your employer cannot
afford to keep paying you.
Just to be clear, I am also staring down the barrel. A forty year career may well be coming to an abrupt end. I mean no offence to you or anyone else.
