It amounts to the same thing, though. When are you got a few months pay to carry you through or not you still lost your income, and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find a job that matches it in pay, benefits, etc.
Redundancy means that they get paid for leaving the company. That terminology is used because it’s different from being fired.

Read the guys comment again though. They say their issue is with calling them “redundancies” in a language sense. But it’s not sugar coating it or anything, that’s the legitimate term for what happened.

It’s basically just British terminology for layoffs with a severance package.
