Has anyone had any success with asking for voluntary redundancy? I work in digital nexus at KPMG but don’t agree with the approach the leadership are taking. Unfortunately I do not have the time to interview whilst working. With 6 weeks of redundancy pay I could afford the time to find something new

If you just flaked out on your job to focus on a hunt it would take about 6 weeks or more for them to act. Asking for it might just put you out of work immediately

Relationships are huge in the business world. Don’t burn bridges unless it’s 100% necessary. When I tried to get cut it harmed some of my relationships and I wish I’d done it differently.

Lol. You guys make it sound like this is so outlandish that OP must be from another planet. Voluntary redundancy programs exist and are fairly easy to avail some organizations.

Short answer OP - if your firm is not offering applications for Voluntary Redundancy, there's usually no way to go about doing it. However, I understand where you are coming from. Maybe there's a way for you to take some time off and do a bit of job searching?

So the firm should pay you to look for another job?

It would benefit them, I would help manage the transition of my critical applications prior to leaving. Surely that is much better than a halve-assed handover once I throw my 2-weeks in

I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?
