NSW Not redundancy, not fired

[stang]

Seeking some advice:

I have been employed with a company for 2.5 years. The first 1.5 years were great, gaining growth in my role and ticking along fine.
The past 12 months have been strained due to some leadership changes.

The CEO told me today that it's "no longer working" and I will be "transitioned out of the business".
There is no redundancy being offered, as there are other roles within the company I could easily fill.
He said that he would come back to me in a few days with the details of how he sees this exit happening.

What rights do I have, and what kind of payout is reasonable?
(Note, as not redundancy, will be fully taxed)

On top of your entitlements, 4 week's pay is good, 3 weeks reasonable.

That is without knowing whether there are other factors at play that may increase or decrease the size of a payout.

In the meantime, start applying for jobs.

Oof 😬 “not redundancy, not fired” — classic employment limbo + spaghetti vibes 😅 Suddenly it’s not just “am I in or out,” but roles, duties, pay, and entitlements all doing the cha-cha 👀

Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague contracts, unclear role expectations, or “we’ll just sort it later” vibes. Once HR or FW gets involved, it’s a tangle of job status, pay, and procedural fairness checks 😬

Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear role documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are actually clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent employment terms, and compliance-aligned pipelines help clarify your status from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where funding, reporting lines, and workloads can get… messy 😅

Anyway, loving this convo — employment limbo nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
