Actually normanton on second thoughts you should take LWOP and encourage as many other junior folk to do the same. Like Keg says the more of you that do that then the less number of positions can be made redundant in your absence.
If the company thinks they have to make 300 S/O positions redundant then if there are 400 S/O on LWOP problem solved. How they can make S/O's on SU CR given that they have more S/O's on LWOP than they have surplus is beyond me.
