Watch your language!

Words are powerful things. Be careful what you say, or what others say, when telling the news.

While I was packing up my things in the office, I heard a colleague say to someone that I was made redundant.

Here's a simple grammar tip that might help.
A role is made redundant - a person is retrenched.

You were not made redundant - the role was. And despite how you might feel right now, you are not the role. You are a person. And you are not redundant.
