Hi all, some help with this would be appreciated. I’m 50, work in financial services for 30 years and am absolutely spent. I was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and am physically and mentally exhausted. My life expectancy will probably be into my 60s at least and I want to get out and enjoy what I have left. It’s a big company and there are always redundancy programmes, or at individual level where it suits. Problem is they will not want to let me go easily - I run a small specialised team which is very busy (80 hour weeks at times during the year, but minimum 50 even at quiet times) and frankly no one else would want my job. I was thinking of disclosing my diagnosis to my boss and starting a discussion about how my ability to carry out my job will decrease as time goes on, and looking 5 years into the future I just see illness, time off sick and exhaustion and underperformance and it stresses me out to think I mightn’t be able to continue to do my job well. And in that context is there a possibility of getting out now (ie redundancy) so they can make succession plans. I’m worried that exposing my hand may weaken my position and they will know I’m on the ropes and wait for me to resign. For reference I would expect redundancy to be in the region of £250k between cash and pension top-up. I need this to be able to go. I don’t have enough money to not work again otherwise. Any thoughts on a strategy on how to play this? If anyone has been in this position, how did you make it happen? Thanks a lot.
