So here’s what’s going on: \u00a0my employer is apparently going into receivership. \u00a0Today was my last day. \u00a0I’ve been given a redundancy package, which basically covers me for the next month. \u00a0However, my accrued leave isn’t being paid out — this comes to about four months worth of paychecks that I won’t be receiving. \u00a0It’s possible that a particular local government program might pay me that, since the company is unable to do so. \u00a0Need to file a lot of paperwork to find out. \u00a0(And for the record, I still really like my old employer, in spite of all this.)<\/p>\n
With all that said, I am<\/em> starting up with a new company sometime in the next day or two, so it’s not all gloom and doom.<\/p>\n The common wisdom is that until someone actually commits to your salary, you don’t have a job. \u00a0So from that point of view, I don’t actually have a job right now. \u00a0But hopefully we’ll iron out that detail within the next few days. \u00a0Knock on wood.<\/p>\n Being spectacularly unproductive with home development, amidst everything that’s going on. \u00a0Hopefully paying work will settle down again really soon, and I’ll be able to focus again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So here’s what’s going on: \u00a0my employer is apparently going into receivership. \u00a0Today was my last day. \u00a0I’ve been given a redundancy package, which basically covers me for the next month. \u00a0However, my accrued leave isn’t being paid out — this comes to about four months worth of paychecks that I won’t be receiving. \u00a0It’s…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/po9WK-pz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1585\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vectorstorm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
