I am waiting patiently for a week on Monday. That's when I'm suppose to have my meeting with management to discuss and agree a date to move to another section. It's not the final answer, however it's a step in the right direction.
My union rep is on holiday for the next fortnight however I have been advised to contact the union by Wednesday if I have heard nothing from management.
As you can see I have been changing the look of my blog.
I hope it meets with everyone's approval.

Am I an Asylum Seeker in Disguise?
As you are aware that within the last 6 months I have to take a £15k salary cut or be made redundant.
Well over the last few days everything in my opinion is slowly getting worse. Management or the union to me are not telling the whole truth in relation to my job situation.
I work for a non profit making organisation and three and a half years ago I left to go and help at a nearby non profit making organisation, with the full recommendation of my director and senior manager. Well it’s nearly 4 years now taking into consideration the time I have been back.
During my time at this second organisation the way all non-profit organisation are funded and can administer their services changed. So after the three and half years I was sent back to my original employer because of the financial hit that this smaller organisation would take if I remained there. I tried to explain to the director and senior management team of this second organisation what my situation would be if they made me return to my original employer.
Upon my return instead of returning to my original department as the whole company had undergone a complete reorganisation I was asked to report to another department. I also found out that the members of senior management who had allowed me with their full support to go and help out this other organisation have all left the company. So when I returned instead of returning and feeling like a Red Square trying to fit back into red circle it had moved to blue circles. That’s why I feel like a asylum seeker who has been deported back to the own country but while I was away there has been a coup as well.
I also feel that if I were coloured, homosexual or disabled in anyway I would not be treated the way I feel that I am at the present moment.
I am seeking alternative employment and would happily move however at the present moment there is nothing hitting the job papers that appeal to me and fully utilise my skills and competencies.
During the recent meeting management have even expressed to me that I look and sound stressed therefore they have referred me to Occupational Health. Just to rub salt further into the wounds after 6 months my employer can move down the lines of constructive dismissal and offer redundancy. Which means that they have sent to me a redundancy letter that is roughly a third of a year’s salary. Not like you get usually in private industry which amounts to an amount to live on for a year or two while you seek alternative employment.
Only 2 people in the last 12 years have left via this route.
You are generally moved about doing dead end jobs which makes forces you to hand in a resignation letter which is very much what is happening to me at the moment.

Job Situation
Very weird last 2 days I have spoken to both my union and management and both the union and management had a separate meeting. That had my situation as part of the agenda amongst other things.
When I spoke to both parties involved the gave me different answer and he I contacted my union to advise them what management had said they said not is what was agreed the other day.
Therefore I still don't know what my overall job situation is? Therefore as you should now appreciate the stress is finally getting to me.
This has of course affected my working from home ideas. It will not stop me at the end of the day however the uncertainty of my job doesn't help.

Job Situation
A couple of big are ahead in relation to my job situation. Tomorrow I have got a meeting with the unions who had a meeting with management on Friday in the department where I work.
Then on Tuesday a meeting with human resources to see if they can offer me a job somewhere in the whole company.
I could be walking with my head held high by the end of Tuesday or banging my head against a brick wall wondering what to do next.
