More than 2,000 people are set to be laid off on New Year's Eve following the collapse of parcel delivery firm.
The company employs 2,727 workers throughout the UK.
Staff at the depot in Glenrothes are amongst those waiting nervously to hear their fate, after discovering on Christmas Day that City Link had gone into administration.
Some workers found out the news through the media.
RMT Union bosses, who spent much of yesterday locked in talks with administrators Ernst & Young, have slammed bosses for the way the situation has been handled.
The union claims it's been told the company had been working with insolvency advisors since November without telling employees, and that it was declared insolvent last Monday - but the news was "deliberately withheld". It says an announcement had been planned for Boxing Day but a whistle blower leaked it early.
RMT General Secretary Mike Cash is now demanding a meeting with Business Secretary Vince Cable:
"It is crystal clear that there has been a truly horrific catalogue of mismanagement at City Link and that staff and their union have been starved of basic information while a plot was hatched to publicly collapse the business on Boxing Day when in fact it was already declared insolvent.
"What a despicable and callous manipulation of thousands of workers and their livelihoods over Christmas as the venture capitalists cut and run leaving a trail of chaos and misery in their wake.
"Vince Cable has said he will meet us in the New Year. Clearly that is too late and the business will have been smashed to pieces by then as the asset strippers hover like vultures over the corpse. "
