    They're making you redundant and they want you to work extra this evening and over the weekend??? I hope they're paying you lots of overtime, otherwise that's ridiculous. :mad:

    No paid overtime, no time in lieu.. Apparently it's for "the good of the business"..

    My boss has been chatting and drinking coffee for the past 2 hours..

    Froggy - this is gobsmackingly shocking!!! You owe this 'business' nothing, and I am even more so sending you positive vibes in landing your dream job, in a respectful and decent organisation who will be very fortunate to have you as an employee.

    The right job is out there waiting for you Froggy :T

    Hope you got out ok Froggy :beer:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
