Well lets see:
- You're debt free
- You've got a defined benefit pension, which is actually worth a lot, because it is not being impacted by the current economic situation.
- And you have no financial commitments
So you're in a better financial situation than most...
And what is the alternative? If you are unemployed, you'll be on less cash and no doubt will start to build up debts... So you're better off hanging in there.
There are other benefits to work too, the social aspect, engaging with people and chatting about the news of the day.
Also it's less expensive to work, whilst in work you aren't spending money. It's tough I imagine to have so much time on your hands with little money. Is there any way to up your income in the medium term. I know the moratorium makes it difficult now, but prepare yourself for it being lifted, by upskilling, taking on new tasks etc.
Your second point I'd have to say its not that big a deal dont forget as a state employee the state pension is subtracted from this... If I was on big money sure defined benefit is priceless alright.. I'm going to end up in debt soon anyway bc any medical bills I have are going to put me under a lot of financial pressure you know. I know what youre saying but would I not get rent allowance indefinitely if unemployed or am I incorrect about that? I just see friends on welfare and they seem a lot more comfortable than me... and more content overall.. I'm effectively working for nothing and to be honest I couldnt be any more bored or unfulfilled being at home all day.... Thanks for the responses though... Its just if I'm working for pure job satisfaction quite frankly I'm an idiot bc there is none worth talking about...
+1, and you've a better chance of getting one while still in your existing oneYou need to start looking for another job
Type of employment: State
Which Dept. do you work in? Any chance of a transfer to a different Department that might be more lively or is this not allowed under the moratorium?
It looks like Queenlex is not actually interested in working, just figuring out how much s/he can get on benefits. S/he hasn't mentioned looking for alternative employment or working on employment prospects by studying.
If you are not "seeking" employment, you are not entitled to JB/JA.
But surely if you only earn 750 a month as oppose 1320 a month you would be a lot worse off trying to eat healthily ? I think you need to concentrate on the real issue here. You do not like the job you are in. While it's difficult you need to address this by looking elsewhere. Figure out what you want to do and a path on how you can achieve it. There are a few extra issues you need to think about if you give up your current employment such as you will not be paid benifit for 12 weeks if you leave your job voluntarily. You may not get the FAS course you want due to popularity. Just some food for thoughtWould you work for nothing yourself not being smart but its actually hard to feed yourself healthily on the amount I take home
