i thought companies can’t make a role redundant and then re hire within a specific time period for a very similar role? someone fact check me!! Is it only six months? regardless, it’s still wrong 😭

Unfortunately you have to adopt the mindset of it’s not your job it’s just your turn at the job

I don’t think people understand. It’s not “illegal” but it is a risk for every company doing this as it shows the redundancy wasn’t genuine so is a legal risk for them - so could 100% be pursued should you wish. I know a lot of people that have successfully gained a further pay off for this.

They probably wanted to pay less for the role so hired someone new with less experience.

They probably tried agency and didn’t like it and went back to in house. It happens and I wouldn’t sweat over it. Hope the new role is working out for you x

Sounds like 1 of 2 things has happened here.. Either 1 - They genuinely wanted to try agency, did and it didn't work, likely for the reasons you mentioned, so readvertised for in-house (strictly speaking they aren't actually allowed to contact you and ask you to reapply, it can be seen as selective recruitment, however had you seen it and applied they would have had to accept it) OR 2 - you actually were made redundant due to personal reasons / ability, but that isn't what redundancy is for so they can't actually say that and most companies have "this is not due to capability" as part of their "redundancy scripting". Sometimes using redundancy for capability is quicker, cheaper and easier to process than capability assessments and improvement plans etc which they'd have to give you if they were to performance manage and sack you. Personally, both sound possible really.

You could 100% pursue making an ACAS claim because of this - it proves the redundancy wasn’t legitimate!

Same thing happened to me (marketing), went to an agency and back in-house. Marketing is brutal for this type of thing!

I’ve done both agency and in house I much prefer the in house marketing. I suspect they’ve probably hired someone more junior who’s cheaper now.

It’s such a harsh environment out there. Sometimes we learn from the troubled times experienced. Glad to hear you found another role. Best of luck.

they often do this and rehire someone else for less pay (sorry english is my 3rd language, I mean for a lower salary). it's disgusting.

redundant or laid off ? Redundancy doesn't have to be paid to anybody who has worked less than 2 years

An agency can work, but you NEED an in-house contact who can manage that relationship and get the best from it! Think they must have realised that quickly…

Margo🌸 | tbilisi to london 🌍 :
My old marketing job did a similar thing - made 2 people redundant and hired an agency. Months later they advertised multiple (!!!) jobs in marketing (different titles, but similar responsibilities). I assume the cheaper option didn’t work out for thwm
