New position filled and started before i recieve reduncancy letter

[Chridward]

Not sure if I have anything to moan about, or if this just doesn't sit right with me ethically.
Briefly, I had been made aware that my position was at risk.
Another, similar position was offered at a reduced package, which I did not apply for.
The new position has been filled, and the person has started the role, before I have been given written confirmation that my role was terminated, and advised of redundancy package.
I am a little aggrieved at how the whole procedure has been handled to be honest, and this (as described above) just seems to feel like a final insult.
Without yet going into further details about consultation meetings being cancelled etc , between the initial "position at risk" and the final written conformation, is there anything I could or should be doing in seeking further advice, or claiming unfair dismissal?

Cheers

To be frank, I don't think you have anything to complain about regarding this particular aspect.

From what you say, the organisation has determined what it needs, you decided that the post on offer was not "suitable alternative" employment (by not applying), they went ahead and recruited to it.

Whilst it smacks of insensitivity and is probably kack handed, I don't think it is legally wrong.
