It's looking like I'll be laid off soon - my job's in consultancy at the moment.

Apparently the MD wants us to work our full notice, with full client-facing work, after being notified we're being laid off. This seems like a terrible (and potentially costly) choice for the company.

I know 'gardening leave' isn't legally required, but is there any way I could fight my case for gardening leave without 'going nuclear'?

UK based if that changes things.

In the US, if you quit before your layoff exit day, you most likely won't qualify to file for unemployment or severance pay. I'm not sure how it works in the UK. If it's a large company with over 500 employees and they plan to do a mass layoff, they're required by US law to give employees a 60-day notice. Again, I'm not sure what the laws are in the UK.

That is not right wow, Wow if you are looking for opportunities I may have a refer to earn. What we call and talk we attract, you need something that treats you better, I would go to the industry of maybe like life insurance or financial planning which is consulting basically and it works all over the world
