I suspect you're right, but Coinbase does have a reasonably large London office from their job postings. If anyone there is affected it is important they know their rights.

I have worked for US companies going through a mass redundancy where they just avoided any UK based redundancies to avoid the headache.

I also value making clear to US-based readers that such protections are important and do make a difference to how companies behave. If readers don't like living in a world where they fear very immediately being cut from their job then they should know there is a different world out there and they should lobby their representatives for change.

Unfortunately that world also leads to overly bloated corporations that are never able to clean house.

Respectfully I disagree. Redundancy is entirely possible, it just has to be done fairly and in a manner that respects employees.

A 45 day consultation period when making over 100 employees redundant doesn't stop redundancies.

Which corporations do you consider bloated and unable to make employees redundant?
