yeah be careful what you wish for.  I thought being made redundant last year was one of the best things that could have happened to me at the time.  Not so great 18 months down the line, money all gone, stuck on the dole queue and can't even get a reply to 20+ applications a week for the crappiest of jobs due to sheer number of applicants.

Great...if u have another job to walk into..........

+1 and fixed post...We're getting our announcement tomorrow afternoon and thats just for pre CSR reductions, looking like about half our staff will be looking for a new job by 2014, and they've just slashed the redundancy scheme by 2/3rds.

Guess I'll have to rely on my gold plated pension which is woth 3K a year currently

So you didn't do your sums properly or investigate the labour market, really.

If you do your sums properly redundancy can be amazing. Our client paid 10% of their workforce off  a few months ago and they all got 1 month's poay for every year's service + an additional 8k. For some people this meant they could retire early, well done them. some others had jobs lined up and could take them with a decent lump sum in their pocket.

Unfortunately my contract isn't that tasty or I would jump at it, if given the option (knowing that I could find a job somewhere else fairly quickly)

BTW Jjandellis, where is LOS?

no i probably didn't, but there were a variety of reasons behind my decision at the time that led me to taking it. I got a pretty good wedge that let me clear an outstanding loan and a credit card debt, take a holiday and still leave enough to live off sensibly for 6 months or so.  Having never been out of work and with a decent career record I just naively presumed that when the time was right getting another job wouldn't be a problem.  Anyway, don't know why I'm being grilled here, just saying the grass isn't always greener.
