in Redundancy & redundancy planning
In our company this is a meeting when your chances of being dismissed are very high. The meeting is scheduled for Friday but that gives me no time to prepare or find out information. I also wanted to take these two days off, which haven't been signed off yet.

Can you guys answer a couple of questions for me please?

1. If I have to take the leave for personal reasons and it's not approved by Friday, what are my options? I've replied saying that I can't make the meeting.
2. If I decide to resign, what are my options for financial support until I find a new position?

    Based on previous posts I suspect not


    OP - given you've replied already saving you can't attend meeting and your holiday absence isn't yet approved I wouldn't be planning to go in on Monday - what reason did you give for not attending ?


    And in answer to 2) !!!!!! all - maybe the time to consider that was before you rejected the meeting

    I don't, it's the worst job I've ever had.


    I was looking to get out anyway, just been a bit busy with my personal life to keep banging out applications.


    I think I can cope for 3/4 months with my savings, so I have time to find a new position hopefully.

    I used family reasons to not attend. But the real reason is, I have an interview at another company. I've been looking to get out for quite some time, just don't have the luxury of a year's worth of savings to afford being out of work too long.


    Well I can cope for some time, but obviously if I can get help, why not.

    You're going to be a father within weeks. Is it time to start taking your responsibilities a little more seriously?

    I'm a father already, but yes I will be a father for a 2nd time. I have bought a house in the last year and I've managed to do get where I am without owing anyone any money except for my mortgage. I think it's fair to say I'm very responsible.


    I've not been in a position where I have made such a terrible decision (moving to my current company) and so this is all new to me. I have to face the consequences of my decision, which I am, but part of it is handling my current situation.

    Ease up.

    You do realise an employer doesn't want to keep someone who is clearly unhappy, and or, doesn't get results and brings the team down?

    Only at 3 weeks in, I had my Manager ask if I dreaded going into work and that there was more to life then being in a job that wasn't right for the person.

    It is not always the Employer saying you must be grateful for a job as much as the keyboard warriors on here seem to think.

    Just an update. I handed my resignation in yesterday. I've been put on garden leave, but most importantly I've had my first clean night of sleep for a long time. My company will not be taking any further action and in return they want me to remain silent about all matters. Really big win-win for everyone.
