Sick Leave and Redundancies
I have seen a few posts urging guys to use sick leave if they are tapped. In my understanding, this is a complete waste of time as you are given your 12 week notice period immediately (paid). The only way you will ever get any value from your sick leave is to use it before you are tapped. If you feel you are in their sights, I think sick leave due to the stresses caused would be a fantastic option. Let's face it, it's a bit tough to come in to a meeting with management when you are on your sick bed. Most guys have many months of sick leave stored up. Using this should drop the numbers on the shop floor giving management their perfect engineer to aircraft ratio.
Don't all stand by and let them screw you over.
