I went for voluntary redundancy many years ago and walked away with £20K in pay (probably £50K in today's money) and walked into another job 2 days after leaving.

Bugger!

Still depending on the redundancy terms it could work out quite nice.

I applied for redundncy after being with a company for 8 months, and I was offered 15 weeks pay.

"Permanent" jobs - one of life's great misnomers.
Commiserations anyway.
