- If I had of moved to Switzerland, I would have started a new contract and given up the possibility of the redundancy pay.
- I have managed to get something like £8000 worth of training out of the company over the past 6 to 8 months, even though I have needed to pay for a further £4000 or so of course fees and travel and lodging costs.
- My newly acquired skills should make my new career a lot more interesting and hopefully rewarding than the previous one.
- I have been forced to get out of the nice comfy place I was in and actually think about my future, the fact that I don't quite know what that looks like right now is just a small problem.
- The possibility of leaving the UK and going to live with my Girlfriend is now a much more rational possibility, I was having a hard time justifying leaving the rather amazing ICI final salary pension fund voluntarily, but now that has already happened and I have had an additional 2 years of contributions made to the fund as part of my package.....
- I am also going to get a payoff sufficient to keep me in something close to my accustomed life style for quite some time whilst I search for a job.
- There are some quite good jobs out there for someone with my soon to be acquired skill set, and the pay isn't bad either
I have had my bit of a whinge now, so that is that for this the first of my "blogs", I have had my wallow in self pity the next one will be much more upbeat, unless I want to moan about something that annoys me!!!
