–adjective 1. characterized by verbosity or unnecessary repetition in expressing ideas; prolix: a redundant style.
Like I said to JH, I think it has a different connotation in the UK. Over there for example they say someone has been made redundant when they are being downsized.

It's not simply losing your job thought right? Isn't it specifically losing your job because your position is being eliminated?

Basically:

You're sacked- your a worthless piece of crap for stealing from us- OUT!
You're being made redundant - there is literally no work left for you to do/the business has gone bankrupt.

Seems like that description better fits the term "obsolete". Redundancy, literally, only occurs when there is another of the same kind already doing the same job,
which only logically works if you're holding a position that someone else is already holding. Once you're fired, you're no longer redundant.

Your description of redundancy uses only a part of its definition.

But like someone said earlier, it could be a British thing. And Americans are definitely not innocent of using unfitting terms.. For example: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the British term for an elevator is a "lift". Makes sense. Americans, for some reason, refer to hitch-hiking as a "lift". Does not make sense.

Obsolete=Redundant, here...amongst other things.
It certainly is a British thing...therefore correct and not "unfitting".
