I got called into a meeting this morning with my boss, who has seen my resignation.

She stated

1) She doesn't want me to leave, thinks I'm great at my job.
2) Told me she'll do anything reasonable if it means I'll stay
3) Told me she wouldn't accept my resignation until I'd taken a week off to consider it...

Told you yesterday mate, theres ways of resolving this ( or attempting to)  

Ultimately they cant refuse your resignation, but there trying to make " you see sense" in their eyes.

Its worth discussing your reasons with them and seeing if its soometing you can iron out for the sake of your health.   If not then they cant stop you...

Take a week off and consider it,wont do any harm.

[JamesV6CDX]

That sounds like an almost blank cheque to me  

Now where do you start  

Paid Holiday,
50% pay rise,
2 weeks extra holiday,
*2 for all overtime,
Own Office, Own secretary, key to the executive rest room,
etc, etc, etc

Could be a nice little earner

PS need an assistant ?.

explain your circumstances to her. tell her what you are thinking of doing. maybe they could put you on part time hrs while you see if the mechanicing is a goer or not. if it isnt then you could go back to full time hrs and youve lost nothing. just a thought mate. all the bst no matter what you decide to do.

I dont think more money should be allowed for anybody in the public sector....coz we cant afford it

a mate of mine who used to work with me at royal mail left for an IT job and i think his starting pay was around £20k pa, he hates his job and attempted to resign in order to come back to royal mail and a place was guaranteed for him, his bosses at the IT firm gave him a £5k pa pay rise to keep him there

Yes, cause if they have to find someone else, there will be the disruption, they have to start contacting agencies, and pay a hefty finders fee, plus the time until the new person starts performing, its an expensive business finding staff.

Must be mad hating it more than Royal Mail, and they are wanting to ship as many jobs as they can at present.
Good luck to him if he gets back there.

James, they cannot refuse your resignation, but a week to think about it seems reasonable.

Being in the NHS they will have strict HR guidlines and salary bandings so I doubt it will be the blank cheque mentioned elsewhere.

My suggestion would be to go for some extra cash (and a change in role if possible) and continue to look elsewhere using the extra money as a way of improving your chances of a better paid role externally.

Good Luck

can get a lot of money by attempting to resign, friend did the same, was gunna leave to go to a more local company, his current place offered him 4k more and he could work from home 2 days a week.
