Employees at BIMM say the redundancies were not made clear in consultations
Staff at a Manchester university are fearing ‘devastating’ redundancies which they say were not made clear in consultations.
In response, a spokesperson for the University says that ‘there will be no reduction in teaching staff resulting from these changes’. They call the ‘restructure’ necessary in order ‘to provide a better student and lecturer experience’.“The consultation was not clear. We had a series of webinars but it was never framed as ‘we are going to restructure and there will be job losses’,” said the BIMM Manchester staff member.
The effect of the news has been ‘devastating’ on staff, they continued. “Staff are absolutely fearful. It’s been very stressful and upsetting,” they added. “It’s hard to stay for a company that has treated people like this. It has a focus on investors, rather than young people and education.”
