Who has this been confirmed by?

My GP and surgeon, but they fail to recognise this!

So if your doctors have said you are incapable of doing the job, why all the stuff about how boring it is?

The grammar squad are out because you emphasised a word which is wrong. It's either there ARE jobs out there, or there IS A job out there.;)

As said before you are acting like a spoilt brat. You enjoy a job, which you are paid for. The minute your employer requires you to change roles (bearing in mind that they are not in business to keep you happy, but offer you the same hours and money) you call in sick, so you are sat on your a**e whinging. Lots of people hate their jobs but they realise that family needs come before job satisfaction. Your rights?? What about the rights of the people who pay your wages, or I suppose that doesn't matter to you.

You don't listen to people who don't agree with you. If you don't like the mundane/boring job you have been offered then leave and let someone who would be more than happy to have it, do so.

Oh dear. I do wonder if your new sight and hearing problems prevented you from getting your old job back?

I suspect working in a laboratory means you need good eyesight and as you failed their tests with very poor eyesight (that scrpaped by the factory floor test, but not the lab test) that this has meant you were not considered for your previous position.

In post #8 OP said, "Yes that is my aim, to take the money and run and have a total change of carreer, attend college to get the skills I need for my 'ideal' job, which I know is available."

The problem for the OP is that it is difficult to take the "redundancy" money and run because there is an alternative offer on the table and it is proving difficult to prove that it is not suitable.

Whilst a GP and surgeon may have confirmed that the alternative job is unsuitable, we do not know how they could do this. That is, who told them what the job entailed so that they could make their judgments?

OMG seriously ..... lets see, there were 2 jobs in our local paper this week. Both unsuitable for me (farming before anyone asks & a farmer I'm not!) but, even if they had been, they were minimum wage and the fuel costs to get there would've been more than I would've brought home.

Not everyone is lucky enough to live somewhere where there are loads of jobs - this is even more difficult in rural areas where transport costs of getting to places where there is work can be pretty hefty and be wiped out by a low wage and long commute.

OP grow up - you are very lucky to have been offered an alternative role, most people with the threat of redundancy would be jumping up and down at the thought of a) still having a job b) it being the same hours c) it being the same wage .....

If you don't like the new job, then look around for a new one and move when you find one - you're just p#d that they've not handed you a big fat redundancy cheque ......

As for deliberately failing tests and going on the sick .... words actually fail me.:mad:
