Default HELP getting the sack

If you are having meetings about being lazy and you know they gonna give you the sack later can you quickly hand in your notice??

I got it in my hand now - shall I do it quick before they give it to me or is it too late

You cant sign on if you walk out of a job (resign) and you cant sign on if you get the sack.
You can sign on as such, but they withhold payments for x amount of time, or give a lower one

you can only sign on the dole if you are sacked, made redundant, etc. You cannot sign on for a few months if you voluntarily quit your job.

Unless your company classes using the internet as gross misconduct they cant sack you unless you have had the correct amount of verbal and written warnings first

It has to be a formal written warning. An email does not constitute this as a written warning must be signed by both parties. Also you could just claim you didnt receive any emails unless you replied to them.

Basically they can't give you the sack, you are more likely to be getting a written warning!

You dont have to tell the dole you left on your own accord

I have done this before and when filling the forms out i wrote down contract ended or along them lines.

They never check as far as im aware, well they dont here

Maybe need to look at a few priorities mate.

A job provides you with the cash to own/run an RS... Doubt I could manage on the dole

Sounds like you just havn't found a decent job yet, I nearly lost my job 2 years ago due to internet / email abuse, proper cacked myself, was very lucky and got away with a written warning (2 other people got sacked due to the content of their emails).

If you find a job you want to stick with just check the company policy on internet & email use, my Company allow up to 6 personal emails per day and 1 hour personal internet useage during working hours..... it is damn hard to stick to it but not worth loosing my job over.
