Redundancy procedure - Anonymous employee HSBC Employee Review

The redundancy procedure was as un-humane as one can imagine. With decades of service in the organization and plausible appraisals, there has been no discussion whatsoever. A lot of unconfirmed news hanging around, and on one morning, login to company intranet blocked, called by manager into a meeting room, handed the redundancy letter, access card confiscated, had 5 minutes to pack belongings and escorted down the main gate, never to be allowed entry again It was as if I committed serious breach that required disciplinary action! And never a chance to say farewell or celebrate the decades of efforts there. What a humiliating experience, especially to end the decades long of service!
