It is easy to believe that dedication, loyalty, and skill form an invisible shield at work. Many UK workers grew up believing that if you arrive early, leave late, remain consistent, and avoid trouble, you will become indispensable. Redundancy has a way of shattering those expectations. It does not heed sentiment. It does not recognise the years you have dedicated. It is simply a business decision, and this is often the most difficult reality to accept.

Something changes inside of you when you realise this truth. Redundancy no longer feels like a punishment and instead looks like a turning point. People frequently say they can't understand how someone as dedicated as them was chosen. They talk about the nights they stayed up finishing reports, the days they stretched themselves, the holidays they sacrificed so the team would not suffer. They describe their efforts with pride and pain in equal measure. Yet when companies restructure, they do not select based on who tried the hardest. They select based on what the new structure needs.

If you have been laid off or are concerned that you will be, now is the time to rethink your perspective on career security. Your employer does not provide security. It stems from the skills you bring with you. It stems from your ability to adjust to new industries, tools, environments, and expectations. Once you understand this, redundancy becomes less of a setback and more of an opportunity to develop into a stronger version of yourself.

Many UK workers struggle with the emotional toll that redundancy brings. Losing your job disrupts your sense of self. Many people consider work to be more than just work. It represents structure, community, and stability. So when it disappears, you begin questioning your value. You wonder if you are not good enough or if you are the only one struggling. But redundancy is far more common than it appears.

The real question is what you do next. Once you realise you are not immune, you also realise you have to build your life in a way that does not collapse when a job disappears. This means becoming intentional about the skills you develop. It means treating your career like something you own, not something your employer controls. It means learning to read industry trends so you know when change is coming and can prepare ahead.
