Manager knows that I'm waiting for a job offer and has indicated that I should take leave before the new role.

Currently on secondment and he's kind of said to plan on not coming back.

Apparently I have excess leave and this solves a problem for him.

Okay then.

as in they dont want you back? or as in the role wont exist?

Are people taking Dutons DOGE threats seriously?

They're looking at cutting roles regardless. Our programme is coming to an end, so if anyone leaves before their contract ends, they just won't replace them.

With the announcement last week, there is a bit of a scramble. My vacant role can be canned, meaning someone else won't be made redundant.

In my team there are three others doing similar work to mine, so my workload can easily be spread amongst them.

nah fam, make him pay that shit out when you leave

I get leave loading when I take leave, so end up getting a bit more. And I'm moving to another gov dept, so all my entitlements carry over.

Considering I've got shit ton of leave, it works in everyone's favour.
