Quoting airfrump - "Do you know that if you accept a new job within the 90 day period BA don't have to pay you redundancy - be careful"
Quite correct, I got made redundant 5 years ago and was fortunate enough to have an potential employer who was prepared to wait a couple of weeks for my services. Otherwise after 17 years with my former company I would have lost out on quite a large redundancy payment. As it worked out I was technically unemployed for 1 day (New Years Day).
But be warned, some employers will do anything to get out of making giving that deserved 'farewell' payment.
