Thought that was the case. Got on to union rep and HR to see the details and they're arranging a meeting. Gonna get shafted though. Have been for a few years so nothing new.

AFAIK if your tin-pot energy supplier goes bust, it's not really a problem. Your supply and any credit balance will be transferred over to another supplier who has bid for it.
There's only the relatively small inconvenience that you can't switch to a supplier of your choosing in the transition period.

Voluntary redundancy doesn't necessarily make the post redundant - that's down to the small print, carlos. You got a union (rep/steward) that you can approach?

Im using Octopus for energy. Seems to be pretty well priced for me, have been with them for 2 years now using their renewable energy tariffs.
If you use my link you get £50 credit straight away (I get £50 too) which is pretty sweet.
I have referred 4 people so far so have had £200 of energy for free which is mental!

Feel like I'm getting screwed at work as well.
Have taken on some extra responsibility 'on paper' for the last 10 months but the role isn't really what it should be - it's a work in progress to get the right level of internal and external engagement, governance structures and process in place.
My acceptance of taking an 'acting' title was based on their being a salary review which has taken months as my manager is off sick and will now be leaving. Now they have done it and said no change in salary despite a change in responsibility. I'm at the maximum of my current grade already so I think they are hesitant to increase to the next one which is their only option (e.g. move to the top 3 bands).
I have been told to set out my arguments for the pay review to be re-reviewed. Tricky thing is that they don't give detail on how salary reviews are calculated other than generic 'responsibility' and 'decision making' type stuff. I don't generate income/earnings but work in compliance so responsibility is a fair comment.
Any tips to bump up the role description or otherwise manage this situation? Not a union member.

I use Octopus and had a problem with them where they weren't charging us the right money monthly even after submitting monthly readings. Ended up with a huge bill but to their credit they backdated the whole bill to their cheapest plan and gave a further 20% discount. Service was spot on and don't think I'll change to another provider now unless they can undercut them by huge amounts.
