The 3rd option is, without doubt, the way to go.
June 17, 201114 yr Sorry to hear that. I agree with the others. Option A is the right thing to do and in the long term, the best.
June 17, 201114 yr Does anyone really go back to work after the pub on their last day?? Serious question, just in my experience no-one ever does (not me - been at the same place for 13 years anyway), nor are they expected to. It's just a given that they finish at dinner.
June 17, 201114 yr Good luck for the future. Option A is always the best, they may realise they cant do without you or you may need a good reference!

If I was his boss I'd just have a quiet work prelunch wishing him well and telling him not to bother himself with coming back post lunch. But I'm nice like that.

June 17, 201114 yr in the long run getting made redundant was the best thing that ever happened to me in work. i have worked alongside loads of people who i knew back then and being known as someone who dealt with it well has helped me get other better jiobs since
June 17, 201114 yr Author Right, tied up all loose ends, haven't left any shit for anyone else to clear up. Going to give back my laptop, say a few goodbyes and hit the pub. Cheers for all the advice, I'm impressed how professional most of you are!

June 17, 201114 yr It's happened twice to me in just over 12 months. It isn't much fun but being professional about it the first time led me straight into a better role. Hoping the same thing happens this time too 2 months of not working is driving me insane.

HTH He might be skilled. No offence but that sounds like a drop in centre for the dregs of Bolton (which I can imagine are very dreggy).
