Having to work the last week before being made redundant. Seriously, if I had the word "executive" in my title somewhere I'd be in the garden already. Bitches.
It's crazy.
My uncle works in Sales (Large IT contracts), and everytime he gets a new job he gets 4 weeks "gardening leave" as he can't join the new company as still under contract, but the old company doesn't want him there as he's unlikely to be working on contracts for them. So they put him on paid leave.
