Job burnout

[Sundae]

I am certainly with the Clodfobble plan, although I'd just take it as far as dipping your toe in the water - just find out what the agencies have available and if it's favourable go back into work the next day and hand you rnotice in - you'll still need them for a reference after all.

It sounds as if temping in other countries is far better than in the UK - here it barely pays a living wage as well as carrying very few benefits (sick pay, holidays etc) Make sure you sit down and talk to an agency properly before you take them up on any offer - I once switched agencies and only found after I ended my contract that their hourly wage included an allowance for holiday. In effect I took a paycut when I went to work for them - it was a higher hourly rate but I didn't accrue any holiday pay so there was no happy little bonus in my last paypacket as I'd always had with the previous agency. That was about 5 years ago and I'm still mad!

Also I know you need to think about things like health insurance, so just make sure you check all the facts. I'm probably teaching you to suck eggs here, but you can't think of everything when you're feeling trapped!

Good luck chick - take some positive action this week or next week and I'm sure you'll feel better for it.
