Cant beleive I am asking this, suppose it's because me and dh are both scared of making a decision!!
basically he is working further away again. He got made redundant due to company closure in June. he then got offered what seemed like a great job but it is several counties away. it takes him 2 1/2 hrs min each way. It is killing us. Dh is constantly knackered, money is dwindling (due to petrol costs) and I just feel like I am bringing up the kids on my own His boss is a complete arse, and without going into too much detail, my husband has found out that boss has been slagging him off behind his back to other staff members that my dh is in charge of
dh has been offered another job (also in the same county as this one!) It would mean we would have to move but it is a very good job, not as senior but good prospects, a good pension scheme, relocation money and basically it would sort him for the forseeable future. They are going to send him a written contract mid november. They dont want him tostart until january by the look of things.
So dh wants to give up this job he has and take the rest of the year off. We have redundancy cover on everything. My Mum seems to think we wouldnt qualify for the cover though as he would make himself out of job. Is this true?? She thinks we wouldnt get benefits either. I think this is ridiculous because he is basically working for next to nothing atm and surely the benefits office dont expect you to work hundreds of miles away? Does anyone know if we can claim?
and would you all take the risk of having a couple of months off. basically in that time we could get our house ready and up for sale and dh could still carry on looking for a job round here (and hopefully get one!) Please help, I feel really mixed about this
