OT: Unemployed......

Good luck pal.

PS...make sure you still get your redundancy pay though

Unfortunately, being a contractor precludes me from any sort of redundancy payment.
Technically, they could give a weeks notice paid in lieu and be escorted off the premises.
Luckily, my immediate boss dug his heels in on this and said "No - he's been here nearly 10 years, I think he deserves a bit more respect than that, considering that he hasn't actually done anything wrong, or broken any company rules"

So I've got about 12 weeks before my current wages dry up (weekly paid)

Fair enough, least they're treating you right

I'm not impressed with the Recruitment/HR bashing going on in this thread!

What you need to realise is that in HR, you get to make all the policies but you don't have to follow them

Think you'll find I've already said they don't get followed. Something regarding proof too

I prefer being a contractor tbh, pay is always better, I prefer cash over benefits

I know of Fred.

Nah, it's going to be a clean break for me - I need a new challenge. I've been here almost 10 years and stagnation started to sink in a while back.
Thanks for the the thought though mate

I don't know what sort of money you need to earn, but try First Great Western website. They have always got loads of jobs going based Bristol and surrounding areas. I'm a driver for them, and the money is pretty good for the SW.
