You're not thinking of changing jobs again, are you?

Looking at my options which I am entitled to do so, as I can’t and don’t want to sit on the one day a job offer may just become unconditional and I might be lucky to start work.

If you are saying I would really should receive state benefit without doing absolutely anything to secure employment, then what a sorry person you are and you are best supporting the work shy.

To the other smug comment - I’ve had 6 of 7 references returned promptly this last week which I feel is quite something. My new job being in jeopardy because of one reference which covers 20 odd days because the reference writer is having a baby which the NHS apparently can’t cope with.

And forgive me, for wanting a better job then the one I had or a pension plus other benefits people receive in work; I should be whipped silly.

I have not been following your career progress that closely, but I thought you were still in permanent employment and was certainly not advocating you should just sit back and receive state benefit. 


There is nothing wrong in looking for something better but your posts have suggested you are rarely in a job for more than a few months, which gives the impression (rightly or wrongly) you can't settle. This is not a criticism just how the situation appears to an outsider.

A reference that covers  20days.
6-7 references.
For one new job?
Says a lot.

I felt sure that the new job was in the NHS, because I recall the poster making adverse comments on another thread about moving to the public sector and the NHS. Which certainly does have the pension that the poster seems to be chasing.

I would suggest that it is probably an "attendance bonus". Officially public sector employees don't normally get "a bonus" payment of any sort so giving it a slightly different name may get around that. Time keeping/attendance bonuses are common in the private sector especially when turnover of employees is a problem.
