        Congratulations, I guess. On the "redundancy" pay especially. Did you know this was coming and even play up to it a bit, wanting out?

        No worries about agents asking about your last employer?

          Two months extra salary, presumably without having to do the time. Go back and read the OP's post.

            Close shave eh?

              Yep, free money! And I've already had 3 calls from agents I know.

                Not forgetting the laptop. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to watch the business unit manager squirm...

                  With the words 'Told you so' ?

                  Youngsters these days, no staying power. I haven't been fired or terminated from a role this decade at all.

                    You're having to travel further afield though now, aren't you?

                    Give it time, your past will catch up with you.
