I have a new job (yay)
but I'm likely to be gypped out of my redundancy because of it (boo). Lordy, how I hate being poor.

If I complete my contract at my current place
I will get two weeks wages redundancy pay. The new place are adamant that they want me to start before my contract ends, thus gypping me out of a lot of money for a couple of weeks work.

How close are the dates likely to be?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 18:52, Reply)

They wanted me 1st september
I said it wasn't do-able, offered a start date 1st October (allowing me to complete my current contract) they're come back and said I can start 19th September latest, earlier would be better, later isn't feasible. So potentially I'm going to lose out on £800 for the sake of a fortnight. I have told them this, very politely and firmly, that either they recompense me or damn well wait.

Tey can't actually force you to start before the end of your notice.
It's ytour notice period, it's a legal requirement.

Well, I've only a month's notice to give
which would take me to the start of september...so I can't argue that.

Oh, well, good luck!

Have you told your new place this?

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 18:54, Reply)

Yeah, this morning
I haven't yet heard back from them though. *worries*

You have a husband!
you can have sex as often as you like/as often as you're capable.
(berk, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 18:50, Reply)

hahahaha!
We can tell you've never been married.
( girlinthehole, Tue 2 Aug 2011, 19:02, Reply)

If it means not getting laid as often then I'd just as soon not bother
although I am less vehemently anti-marriage than I was.
