A mate of mine recently had to go through some sort of aptitude (psychometric?) interview, applying for his own job when there were some compulsory redundancies to be made.
He was already mightily pissed off and had another job to go to, so apparently he made himself look an incompetent arse to get made redundant.
Knowing him, I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall. He achieved his objective and walked with £28k.
I actually agree with MLC. We all get into confort zones in our work, whatever it is we do, and although it will not seem like it at the time, often a new job can re-light the fire - redundancy pay or not.
I wish you well Ian.
