Slaughters to part company with 41 secretaries at end of consultation

As one of the 41 secretaries, I can say that the package wasn't that generous - but it wasn't bad either. It is more advantageous to the part-timers as they more than likely didn't get affected by the statutory cap of £430 a week. Some of those who applied for voluntary redundancy were close to retirement age and it wasn't worth their while to stay. Others are taking the money and seeking local employment. We took it because it was silly not to - you don't look a gift horse in the mouth, do you?
