Could be losing my job this Thursday

I'm not sure but it's looking iffy iffy iffy for me in my job. There's not much work available my area of expertise right now, nosiree.
So. The Dole. Does it pay your mortgage?

Yep. And they actually give you a deposit to upsize.

if you are certain in regards to this my advice would be to take a monumental dump on your bosses desk

Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. Redundancy isn't nice I won't argue. The only advice I'd have for you is to not take the decision personally and invest any payment you get wisely. In my case I put it towards further study in another country and without doing that I wouldn't have a job in Ireland now. That said I expect to get another redundancy notice in the coming months... If that happens I'll have been made redundant twice before my 25th birthday, which would be some sort of record I'm sure.

It may seem bad now, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me and it let me discover who I really was. Don't see it as a set back, but as an opportunity to develop further and to find out who you really are.

Good luck.

If I told you, you'd pray for me to get the chop. Seriously, though, teaching.

No I pay my mortgage.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, (or is that fortunately?) I know who I am. I am a man with lots of bills and a 50:50 chance of a p45. So the Dole doesn't pay your mortgage, then I suppose. Arse biscuits.

Great idea! "Excuse me, boss, I'd like you to meet my successor: Dr Poops Mac Rectum!" :pac: I'll bring him with me to the dole office to advocate on my behalf and to any interviews I end up going to too!

This may be of some assistance.

Sorry to hear they are cutting teachers. Despite the mortgage would emmigration be an option? My brother is a qualified secondary school teacher and in the past he mentioned some course he can do to allow him teach in the UK and Australia.

I'd second that pal.

Eat two packets of 250g Foxe's Ambers about 3 hours prior to the event if you want to really make an impression

I just got a new job. You can have my old one (but I wouldn't want it to be honest)

What are they? I mean, will they give me, let's say, bulk or liquidity? Or, calm, my pounding heart, both?

...but you're born to be wild, born2bwild. You don't need a job. Don't be a slave to the man, man.

Do you have a payment protection clause in your mortgage, if so you are ok for the first year anyway, I think it's compulsory for the first year and after that it is optional. After that, depending on circumstances the social will pay the interest part of your mortgage. Google is your friend in these times, heck it's your friend no matter what!!

Payment protection in the mortgage? Maybe I have. Better get on that straightaway.

Don't worry OP, plenty of posters on here are experts on how to live off the dole in luxury, surrounded by such opulence you will wonder why you ever bothered working in the first place. Take advantage of such helpful and well-known tips as:
Pop out some kids
Wear tracksuits all day

and much much more. Welcome to the gravy train brother.






*warning social welfare payments may go down as well as up*

You should have payment protection, but there is a limit to the length of time that it will cover the mortgage for. For mine its 2 years, sounds a long time but can pass quickly
