Redundancy Support Platform: The Invisible Queue Founders on Why It Matters

<p><a href="theinvisiblequeue.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">theinvisiblequeue.co.uk</a></p><p><br></p><p>Over the past six months, I&#39;ve spoken with dozens of people navigating redundancy. Through the podcast, messages and numerous conversations that started with &quot;I thought it was just me.&quot; Every single one echoed the same thing, this experience isolates people in ways most support systems don&#39;t acknowledge.</p><p><br></p><p>So we built something different.</p><p><br></p><p>The Invisible Queue is a community platform for anyone in that strange, grinding period between losing a job and finding solid ground again. The name captures what this actually feels like — you&#39;re standing in a queue, but you can&#39;t see how long it is, who&#39;s ahead of you, or when you&#39;ll reach the front. You just know you&#39;re in it.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m joined by Lisa, Vicky, and Russ — the team behind The Invisible Queue — to talk about why we built it, what it actually is and why the usual options don&#39;t cut it. Recruitment sites treat you like a pipeline problem. Wellness content offers breathing exercises when you need practical help. LinkedIn encourages performative-positivity (while your inbox stays empty).</p><p><br></p><p>We&#39;re doing something else: practical tools, honest conversation and a space where you don&#39;t have to explain why this is hard.</p><p><br></p><p>If you&#39;re in this position right now — or you know someone who is — this episode explains what we&#39;ve built and why it might help.</p><p></p>
