Lol

You said you didnt have the resources to fight an unfair dismissal claim.

All you need is your phone. Ring ACAS and they will sort it out at no expense to yourself.

Damn, I thought I was about to get a job offer!!

Many thanks though, I'll give them a buzz tonight!!

Well, after 8 years of working in IT Networks and Security I've finally decided to quit my job.

Is it the job you don't like or the company you're working for?
If it's a case of not liking your employers why not try contract work in the IT industry. If you're a techy type of guy there is a fair bit of money in contracting.

Have a look at jobserve.com or jobsite.co.uk. It will probably mean you need to start your own company but that's no such big deal nowadays.

And some employers are taking the piss, with some rates i have seen recently going as low as 10 quid an hour, for roles that 3 years ago would be worth 35-40 quid an hour.

Maybe 35-40 quid an hour was taking the piss 3 years ago and the rates have found a more realistic level.
