If Cardiff Met continue with proposed compulsory redundancies, they will be the first university to cross the line. UCU a say NO to compulsory redundancies. @drjogrady.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk @cardiffucu.bsky.social

“At UEA, it is understood that 22 staff are earning more than £150k and 4 staff are on £205k. At a time when university managers are pushing through large-scale job cuts, this is frankly obscene”

Good thing that management got rid of many colleages at the ITS service desk and Technology Enhanced Learnint Team and our PGR coordinators and is reorganising our Student Experience Team. All for the sake of the AskQM chatbot that nobody uses.

oh hi, would you look at that! That thing that staff have been saying for a while is the death knell of universities recognised as being the death knell of universities! Great to be on the same page, but let's not pretend that loads of us put a lot of effort to make administrators see this for years

Compulsory redundancies are cruel and unnecessary. Cardiff Met UCU have requested that Cardiff Met re-open their voluntary severance programme, or if necessary a VOLUNTARY redundancy programme across the whole university. @ucu.org.uk @senedd.wales @vickyblake.bsky.social @dyfrigjones.bsky.social
