make sure you check the long service leave as I was only at my job for 5 years and got pro-rata long service leave - worked out 4 and a bit weeks - get what you are entitled to.
no award at this place except for the standard so they got me. The truth is biz is going bad for them and I was an easy target in the end as they probably figured I'd just go. On my separation cert they wanted to put that I resigned
the sad thing is sometimes money is worth more than family. If I was on the chopping block they should have just told me in advance and given me a few months to look while working. What if I bought a shit load of pinnies or something days before this happening. Things could have been done better.
the type of work I do can take months to find, so really concerned at the moment.
Good to hear you got something to tie you over for a little while
