    I am going to work each day, but each day theres no orders to process. What can I do? I cant ethically sit there all day and take the money can I? do I approach the employer or wait til they approach me? either way its going to happen cos the orders just arent coming in. Theres never a good time for change, like you i have a credit card dont we all have bills. Thats life these days and kids need kitting out for summer. Who cares anyways never liked the bloomin job lol
    Could you ask your employer if there is anything else you can do whilst waiting for orders? I always hated just sitting there too, but there's often something which needs doing at the same time.

    Don't go to ask for redundancy though: unless you've been there a long time an extra couple of week's pay will be worth more than a more generous redundancy package.

    I was in that boat, and its best just to get on with looking for a new job whilst you wait on the news.
