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!

Eep. I'm sorry.

What kind of work would you be looking for, and are you only looking in Leicester?

Arse badgers! What's happened, I haven't really been keeping up to date with the details. I will keep my eyes and ears open for any jobs I hear, and wish you the best of luck in finding something. Will you get any monies to wander off with or is it literally just normal pay?

*hugs*

Lack of employment sounds annoying. :( Good luck in finding something new.

ack
sorry
and sorry to be crap but...
You need to sign on and sort out HB immediatly!
Like do this today whilist your on leave!
you might get a job next week but if you don't you will be hemoraging money
If you sign on and get JSA that gets you into the system, once your registered as unemployed or that you will be unemployed at X date, then you immediatly goto to Housing benefit and register with them. If you have IS/JSA then you will immediatly get full HB assuming that the rent officer oks your rent.
whatever happens you need to do this now, don't leave it i have watched people drive themselves into massive debt rather than sign on, do it and now, today and then move on with looking for a job

aww, that sucks. I'm sorry, and will think good job-finding thoughts for you.

That's nasty. Best of luck with the job hunt

Put in a CV to ZEDA up in Nottingham, see what they say. In fact, a couple of days' commuting up to Notty and talking to pimps (SP? Recruitment agents?) is probably more productive than sifting the jobs market in Leicester.

I wouldn't think that Brum - even directly over New Street Station - is do-able as a commute these days.

And the time to start is now. Walking out before your notice is up, straight into a new office, is waay better than job-hunting when you're not in a job. Apparently the disloyal are desirable potential hires, and the unemployed are unemployable.
