Royal Mail require delivery drivers for Easter pays good at £11 an hour plus benefits
Such as tenners that fall out of cards?
New job = still no news, they have just started work from home for their entire workforce so everything is a bit up in the air with them at the moment. I have had a phone conversation with someone today, he has a meeting lined up with their high ups tomorrow about it so I should hear something after that.
The loyalty thing, I have no loyalty to old/current employer whatsoever. It's been a shit place to work for over a year to the verge of me nearly walking out a few times. I have a deep seated loathing for the MD, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. The only reason I stayed is because I have bills to pay, I could have gone elsewhere but I was looking for a way out of the industry.
The only thing I am worried about is any potential (statutory) redundancy payment, if I quit and go for the new job immediately I would be walking away from just over £2.5k. I have spoken to the administrators personally and they are no gearing up to get full details out to everyone. I know it sounds shit but I hope the potential buyer falls through, they'll only want to strip the assets and close it down anyway.
Should hopefully be fully clued up on exactly what is happening early next week.
Just because you've started a new job doesn't mean you've quit the first one. Who are you going to send a resignation letter to anyway?
Sorry to hear that OP, it's a bit shit.
I would also take the new job and start as soon as all the paperwork is in place i.e. get a contract and get it signed, then agree start date and hand in notice with effect from new start date. Your old employer might even be gratefull you have left - if there not they have much bigger problems in any event.
