Nuts! They're making me work my 6 month notice period.

Make sure you know exactly where you stand contractually before you hand in your notice. I did but it still doesn't stop the unexpected. I thought I would be marched out of the office yesterday and put on gardening leave, but at the moment they're making me work it. Can't believe in my line of work (broker) they're going to make me work it, due to the potential risks involved, but at the moment it looks like a game of poker - that I'm currently losing!

Around the World trip going to have to be put on hold for a while … Bugger.
