Is this a good reason to leave my job? Every time someone else leaves there is a collection. I put a pound in and we buy them a present. When I leave they’ll be a collection and I’ll get approximately a pound from everyone. The problem is I’ve been here so long that I may not be able to recoup all those pounds. If more people have left during my time here than are working here when my collection goes round I could register a net loss. What happens if the office downsizes.

If there’s voluntary redundancy to be had I’m taking it. I’ve got close to fifty quid at stake here!
