Basically, first off they were going to put us and the subeditors in one big pool, score us all on the same criteria, and let the lowest scorers go.
Then the subs complained that we have different skills, so should be scored with different criteria. So they they split the pools and said they'd be doing this.
Then management put forward a proposal to take all four jobs from the subs' pool. When they told us, they made it sound like this decision had been reached and we were safe.
The union put forward a counter-proposal on behalf of the subs, saying that the subs were better qualified than us, and all the jobs should go from our pool. Their second proposal was that we should go back to being scored from our seperate pools.
After much fannying about, management said on Thursday that they'd agreed to go with the second proposal, and the scoring took place on Friday. Apparently, A and I were among the lowest scorers, and therefore have to be let go.
I think they felt, for some reason, that they needed to appease the union by not making all the redundancies subs. But they're never going to admit to that...
Argh! Sorry, that was long!
