Not sure if the US uses the same term as we do in the UK but I am now on Gardening Leave.
Basically I am being made redundant as the place that I work is going through cost cutting exercises
I was sent home today at 1.30pm and am not allowed back on site, they don't like IT people being on site when they may be disgruntled if you get my meaning
For the next 2 months I get to sit at home and job hunt whilst being paid my usual monthly salary. After that period I am officially redundant and get my measly payout.
Guess this means that I can play some golf during the next few months in between finding a new job so that I can support my family
With any luck I can find a suitable job in the next 2 months so that my redundancy payout can be spent on nice things rather than having to use it to pay the bills for a few months
Wish me luck
