Quite right. Sign nothing. I am lucky enough to just walk away with a decent sum. Many of my colleagues are not so lucky, as their areas are being outsourced with the option to sign the new terms or receive a redundancy package far less favourable than I have. It's wrong.

We used to deny outgoers entrance to the building for their last day by cancelling their security passes, office manager and a security guard would pack up their personal stuff. The first they knew was when their pass failed to work at the staff entrance and they went into reception to ask to be allowed in where they would find two guards standing there with the desk emptyings ready packed and waiting to go. By the time they got back to the car park their company car had been removed using the spare keys and was already on its way to the dealership.  eveilgrin:

The first present has landed on my desk. A bottle of Bushmills 10 year old malt, from my old mucker Andy H.
