Hi TJ, It must have been an unnerving time not having heard back from your T but glad she got back and hoping her reply will be helpful.
I can see how you might have felt disappointed, betrayed (?) when your supervisor mentioned what you told them to your manager. But it really isn't unimaginable that they may have wanted some advise/backup as well, in giving you any support you needed to help you in carrying on with your job if they were worrying you might struggle with what you're going through in the picture.
But with the redundancies, yes you could be right with, the could be a "blessing in disguise". Excellent attitude in putting the concerns to one side!! Afterall you can only do so much, and what happens happens, you can still make it work for you. And the main focus is/should be you right now, and rightfully so!!
