In a steady job at the minute and I like the work I do. Have thought about going contracting for a year or two but decided against it. Will lose out on Health Insurance and the company pension plan so I decided against it.
Will have a car loan paid off in June this year and expecting talks about a promotion in July so will have more cash for savings then.
I’m happy enough with where I am financially, of course I could be better but there’s a lot of people my age who are in a way worse situation.

Ah no I’m happy enough where I am. I’m clocked out for 12:30 latest every Friday. I don’t think I could go back to having to stay until 5 on a Friday

Another thing to consider, depending on the size of company you work for, the bigger the company the bigger the compensation for being made redundant. The longer you work in a place the bigger the pot of gold you’re sitting on. I’ve seen people I’ve worked with regularly walk out the door with a 6 figure check. European labour law is your friend. I’m in the same place 14 years. I’m not leaving til they pay me to leave.

Between life insurance, mortgage cover and what the company would pay out my wife would be far better off slipping someone a few grand to get rid of me. Probably wouldnt be any shortage of willing candidates either.

You’ll never be offered redundancy unless the whole place goes tits up. It’ll cost them too much. Loads of companies out there with dead wood for the last 20 years (not saying you are) but can’t afford to let lads go
I was made redundant a few years ago…best thing that ever happened and was on cards for a while so I had the next plan made. I took 8 months off at the time and it drove some fellas on here absolutely demented

No ones worth nothin dead
I was laid off in 2013. After ten years service. Took 4 months off. Couldn’t believe my first weeks dole. You get an allowance for the kids an all. Was drawing nearly 300 notes a week for sitting on my hole. And I didn’t claim half what I was entitled to. No wonder some lads sit on there hole
