D: What does ‘redundant‘ mean?
Me: It means that someone’s job got taken away – that the place they work for says they don’t need that person any more. It’s not very nice.
D: Why isn’t it nice?
Me: Well, it’s not very nice to find out that someone thinks you’re not useful is it? One of my friends was made redundant twice in a very short space of time. She was made redundant once, then went to work for another company, then they took all her ideas and made her redundant again! It was a bit naughty of them really.
D: What did she do?
Me: She started up her own business.
D: That’s good – then, when the other people who made her redundant come and ask her for a job, she can say “No!”
