Now its unlikely I'll lose my job due to the Credit Crunch (recession? depression? I mean whatever you want to call it this time) but concievably it could get to the point where it makes more sense for me not to work...

Seems like a bit of a tasteless complaint.
greek tragedy has taught me that to fall from a great height into crushing penury is far worse to have always been there.

especially if a group of people stand behind you wearing white and speaking about it in unison.

Lot of tax free earnings to be had down there.

Also,
Aye, the credit crunch is pretty much responsible for the fact I'm working in a call centre at the moment. Saying that, its not bad work.

Financially, we are worse off with me working. If I stayed at home and we didn't pay out nursery/afterschool care, train fares, petrol and sundry costs we would have more income than when I'm working. It's a very shitty quandry to be in.

Soon enough it'll be replacing the GBP

Re: So I just lost my job because of this 'credit-crunch'....

I suppose my job loss could be considered to be part of all this - I do work for a credit card company after all. Getting made redundant on 26th September. Quite glad about it though - I've been dying to get out of the credit card industry for ages - this is the kick in the backside I needed!

I reckon my job is safe for now, fortunately. I fucking hate jobhunting at the best of times, never mind with people losing jobs across the board.
