WTH is "voluntary redundancy"?In English English, a/k/a Brit-Speak, a redundancy in this context is a layoff. A voluntary redundancy, basically, is what we would call accepting a buy-out offer, typically some kind of early retirement package or a lump sum payoff based on the number of years of employment.

Thanks you for making it clear that by Brit-Speak, you were referring to Britain and not Britany Spears, otherwise I'd have been looking for the "y'all" at the end of every sentence.
