regarding this

it looks like i'll be no longer employed in a few days. in meantime i am on "gardening leave".

i'd better start updating my CV then.

unfortunately i don't have a garden. although i have been considering buying a pot plant. on the plus side it does mean I get to watch Bargain Hunt more often for a while!

Thanks.

It came as a bit of a shock. Terms not yet decided on and anyway can't discuss those in public.

Of course not. Best of luck anyway, and if need be I hope your union can help if it gets sticky or anything. *hugs*

Unions, for some reason, don't seem to exist in the IT industry. I do, however, have a nice friendly lawyer.

I'm with Unison so I'm guessing they might apply to you. If that's the case they might be able to help, although I don't know what they're like in general nor how effective they'd be.

"Nice friendly lawyer" is probably equally as effective :D

I should probably join one, anyway. But in a non-unionised workplace there's little that a union can do other than offer legal advice.

Anyways, I hope you give them hell!!

Well that's something - this brings back bad memory and I wished I'd had a friendly lawyer (or been in a union) at the time... Good luck!
