I have just completed my second round of Redundancy's for the business since October last year.
Absolute cunt of a job and I lost team members that I would call "friends". Tough dealing with integrity to the process and not letting anything slip etc and having to make some of the "good guys" redundant but thats life. The criteria really did leave me with some absolute bell Whiff's though.
Anyway; think I mentioned previously that we have also lost the contract at work so come end of June we will all be out of work.
I have accepted another roll with another company and handed my notice in. Would be looking at approx 13K take home after tax with Statutory and PILON. Decision was made that it was more beneficial for me and the mrs,kids to accept the new role and to have continuous employment as opposed to hanging on for the pay out as this would only cover 3-4 months of not having a job.
My business came back and said that at somepoint last year my notice period changed from x 2 months to x 3 months. Have gone back to my new employer who wasnt thrilled about this but was still ok with it.
I have however asked if they will wait a further month for me as I will then be 13K better off. They are likely to say no........ my business wont make me redundant before hand.
I think I am going on sick for the next 2 months.
