Here in the US we can collect unemployment if we lose a job through no fault of our own. It is a pittance compared to a salary but it keeps the wolves from the door.
Anything like it available in the UK?
IIRC benefit should be available for 6 months automatically and subject to conditions after that.

The employer is also obliged to give a lump sum payment dependent on length of service.

Thanks so much for all the support and positive thoughts, it helped so much.

Must go- still at work.

Hey, Noz, respect!

I've been so busy empathising with the underlying theme of this thread, i.e. trying to hang on to my job, I haven't looked in here in a fortnight, so was greatly saddened to see it was you whom started this thread. I saw the date of the OP, and feared the hopelessness of your situation would lead to an unhappy story at the bottom.

But you did it!!!! I was so happy to read your great success, well done you.

Loads of love

I'm wondering if you will start a new thread about adjusting to your new job! I do so hope that it will go well!

Just caught this, and could fast-forward to the good news. And glad there was some!

It's so hard to see the light at the end of that tunnel sometimes when you're mired in the dark, but I hope it is working out all for the best for you Noreen.

Less of the 'old', Spaw!!

Thanks for all the good wishes and kind thoughts, friends.

Now the fog of the last two weeks is clearing I really think this may turn out to have been a blessing in disguise :)

The new job will involve moving to a brand new library, built under PFI which will integrate the public library with the University library, local records office, archives etc.

This concept is attracting international attention, and the new building has won awards for its green credentials- natural lighting, heating and ventilation and sustainable materials used in construction.

The place to be!

If I wasn't so happy about 'retiring' properly soon I'd be slightly envious. Once again, good for you, Noreen.

EB none taken.

Was talking last night to someone who failed an interview for his own job as a systems analyst but got redeployed, apparently, because of the down turn, there are 4,000 vacancies in the Job Centres, he now does "meeting and greeting" of the Job Seekers!
