you have my sympathy its not nice especially if you enjoy the job, the last time i was made redundant we were all expecting it but it still hurts to be told "we dont need you anymore please go away" :(
take it as a positive that its through no fault of yours and get your cv up to date while you still remember your job role and start sending it out, if nothing else it takes your mind off whats happened

Hey Dreadnought
It may not be of any help but if you have been made redundant out of the blue without any consultation you could take them to tribunal. Id go and have a chat with the CAB or a seek legal advice
SWMBO says in normal cicumstances your entitled to 3 consultation periods.
1st Meeting they explain why the redundancy is happening and the circumstances,
2nd Meeting they have to offer you alternative vacancies within the company.
3rd meeting is advising those unfortunate enough that there being made redundant and the settlement payout.......
....she works for Croner Consulting they provide redundancy advice on procedure for companies and insure companies for when it all goes wrong....usually their fault for not following procedure. SWMBO also recomends the ACAS website......always worth a look
Never the less its a shock - hope you manage to sort something out soon.
