MsPnutt you are so right, there is no such thing as loyalty any more, about six months ago, one of our project support specialist was told in the afternoon that she was been made redundant and that there was no need for her to come in to work anymore...
Off course they gave her bundles of money to shut her up (a years worth salary I was told). She worked for this company for over 7 years and when they decided that was that couldn't even give the poor woman time to look for another...
A month later they brought in two girls to take over her position, so obviously they knew way before what they were doing with her position and could have told her to start looking, they probably offered the girls the position while she was still working here.
My company has a thing where they make people redundant and pay them tones of money so they all go quietly. For six months+ worth of pay would you complain?
As much as I love working here, when I am ready to leave, I wouldn't feel any guilt... 4 weeks notice is all they will get from me.
It is illegal to make someone "redundant", then give their job to someone else. Regardless of how much money they paid her, she would have a strong case if she was, indeed, made redundant.

In my job, I'm only busy each quarter and year end, so most of the time I'm bored. I also hate travelling into work, but my employer won't let me work from home. I was going to leave, but I found out they paid someone off who got pregnant, then couldn't come back in a full-time capacity, so am now practising.....
