By lack of engagement do you mean nobody is telling you what you want to hear?
An extreme measure perhaps...?
But maybe a necessary one?
What's your alternative suggestion???
Who should be in charge instead?
I'm really sorry you've been screwed but that's the reality of bankruptcy.
If, as you earlier suggested, your company had entered into consultancy with its employees earlier then that would simply have resulted in it going bankrupt earlier. If a company is not still fighting to trade then it will fail.
I type this as someone who's been made redundant twice and been stitched with statutory minimum on both those occasions. But i accept the reality of those situations even if i don't like it.
I hope you find something else soon.
