Re: When shall I resign??
 

Up to you I guess - depends on how much notice you have to give and how much time you want off!!! mind you it is nearly the middle of October now!!:blink:
:thumbup:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

oh come on now - i could mess around like that! gonna work to the end but come on some one else make a decision jus tfor once :thumbsup:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

:rofl:
:rofl:
:wub: pmsl - my kinda thought :rofl:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

How much notice do you have to give?

If it's 4 weeks (for example) ask for 4 weeks between exchange and completion and resign as soon as you exchange. Then you complete as you finish work. Maybe before if you have holidays etc owing.

If you don't need the money resign now. LOL. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Good one!
I couldn't decide either, then I got made redundant and our landlord sold our house, thus absolving me from responsibility or decision making :thumbsup:

Resign 18th Nov
Leave 19th Dec (cash in on all the Xmas parties, boozing, feasting, merriment, etc)
Leave on Dec 27th.

Enjoy the magic, special moment of giving your notice in to emigrate!!:thumbup:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Exactly! And as you said term ends end of Dec and begins beginning of Jan it is now the 10th Oct, so assuming you have to give 4 weeks notice And you want to be there in January perhaps you should be typing up that resignation letter TONIGHT!!!!!
There, is that ok?:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Oh and stupidly I have seem to forgotton that November comes after October NOT December!!!!!! Sorry! Edit 4 weeks notice to say 8!!!!

Re: When shall I resign??
 

well do you need to fly soon after you finish work or would it be better to have a week or sos holiday to arrange the shipping?

personally i would wait until a contracts have been exchanged so that you know your sale cant fall through and put notice in then and go do the rounds of the rellies after house sold and stuff shipped then fly to Oz

or give notice for the 3rd of Jan so you get paid over the xmas hols cos it might be hard to arrange stuff in Oz over xmas

Re: When shall I resign??
 

taht is what i was thinkin but im not so sure i cna keep my gob shut for so long:rofl:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Yes it is hard isnt it :lol:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

My line manager knows it is going to happen but thinks in about 12 months. THe big boss!!!!!!! :curse: well i am going to demand an exit interview :curse:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Good on you girl! :thumbsup:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Heh, nice touch. My exit int is on Monday, I have 3 pages of 'issues' to bring up. I'm gonna enjoy every second, I hope you do too. Savour the special, once-in-a-lifetime moment :thumbsup:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

ooh i am much too chicken to resign before the house contracts are signed :o

i havent even booked the flights yet!

so it is absolutely no good asking me .... :lol:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

I am so :curse: at my employers. i have seen many go quietly for want of a reference - well i dont nee dor want one so im gonna kick butt:curse:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Way to go Daunted!!! I still have my exit survey sitting on the desk waiting to be done - butt will be kicked but no one will take any notice. I will feel better though:p

As for giving notice - only give the notice that your employer requires. For me it was 2 weeks but it may be 4 weeks where you are. If you work in schools, if it is anything like here, then you need to go back for the first day of term at least so that you will get paid for the holiday over Christmas.

No one will think any the worse of you for doing what is in your best interests - they all do it too, you can bet! Dont burn your bridges until you have other things signed and sealed though. Given the reported weird property market at the moment, wait until you have the money in your hot little hand just in case you have to postpone things!

Re: When shall I resign??
 

:wub::thumbsup: thanks for all the support - will wait for the money to hit the bank and then deliver it by hand. I have written at least 4versions so far :rofl: none of them fit for putting on here :rofl:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

I'm just waiting for our house to sell before I give my notice - everyone at work knows the situation tho, trouble is they keep asking me when i'm off! Come on someone... BUY MY HOUSE!!

Re: When shall I resign??
 

:blink: after the day i have just had i very nearly went and did it :thumbsup: but came home instead :D:wub:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Maybe tomorrow???? :eek: :eek:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

I'm not going to resign until I get the call that the house sale has gone through and is completed.

Re: When shall I resign??
 

Will wait for contracts to exchange. Only problem is I have to give 3 months notice! What's the worse they can do if your contract says 3, but you only give 1?

Re: When shall I resign??
 

I definately shouldnt give you an answer!

(being the muppet who broke her leg the same day of handing in notice - whilst smugly informing am that id loathed the job) :eek:

Re: When shall I resign??
 

no daunted
I would definitely wait till you had the ok, which you most likely will recieve at end of oct or nov, then I would diffinitely leave at the end of term dec. The new year Jan. 08 does not involve working in the uk. Its the new start for you and your family in oz.

Re: When shall I resign??
 

also immigrating causes a lot of stress to someone, and if you feel bad about your workplace, then I would recommend you take a few weeks off with stress, around november etc. during this time of stress you could get more organised. Then go back for your final farewell, and enjoy your last cold xmas.
