It's been almost ten months to the day that my School has been 'in scope' for redundancy.
Exhausting as it's been, the most depressing thing is that the rest of the university seems to be forgetting that we're still in that pool and moving on as we drift and drown.

'The affected staff, in the schools of foreign languages, history, religion and music, have been warned the university cannot rule out compulsory redundancy.'
Almost 200 Cardiff University staff left in limbo as they face losing jobs
Cardiff University confirmed it cannot rule out compulsory redundancies as it also apologised to students for problems with a new timetabling system as the academic year begins
