Hope that you get to stay (if you want). Im sure you are aware I was made redundant very recently.
When this happens, people either feel guilty (those likely to stay) or shafted (those likely to leave.)
What ever happens, if you do leave, make sure you leave your current employment as if you were going back for an interview tomorrow.
Best advice I can give, and good luck whatever happens

This happened to both my hubby and father in law as they worked for the same company.
For us it was positive...Forced me to use my degree and get a very good job with 3 times the potential for reward and prospects, and hubby with a good job that pays very well that he loves and is happy in.
That 6 months on benefit was appalling and I WILL NEVER go back to that again...
Father in law wasn't so lucky...Got a full time job with less pay. He has worked for them for 6 years now they have "laid him off" due to falling profit. The whole firm is "restructuring". They have a job for him that means working nights and a new contract...
My advice: SIGN NOTHING!... Get a rendundancy package or Make him redundant on no renumeration, so he is able to claim a decent benefit.
BE CAREFUL...They may change your contract and ask you to sign a new one.
However many years you have worked for them, how ever family orientated the firm...do not trust them one bit! Get advice!
Sorry to be so negative...
Hope stuff works out for you and the guys that have lost their jobs too.
