Go on the dole.

forget going on the dole, find something else (if you can).
although the daily mail likes to think that benefit claimants are coining it in, if you've had work and you lose it, the reality is very different.
as i always say, if there was real money to be made (legally) in the benefit system, there would be companies charging a fee to make sure you got all you were eligible for, but 10% of bugger all isn't worth their while…

Isn't this the same company you've just had a major accident with?
If so, don't leave. And if you do - you could probably argue constructive dismissal.

Went through some serious corporate bullying issues several years ago...ending up ill and left to get away from the hell that was the co operative bank financial advisers ltd IFA's of ill repute...anyway (sense any bitterness still?)....it isnt the financial loss that hurts most its the damage that stuff can do to a persons self esteem...people say dont leap before you have something to go to...makes sense but if things are so bad it's making you ill you are best off out of there ...but take note of the constructive dismissal rules.
The current economic climate seems to make employers (not all) think they can treat employees like carp...and get away with it...increased targets..squeeze more blood from a stone...sure they company has to survive, but NOT at the expense of the health of employees.
Good luck anyway.

Thanks all, and no Im not doing anything about the accident, still havnt made my mind up on that yet. I dont fancy the Dole at all either. Took the thread off as it could have been found in a google search by anyone, just being careful thanks to a friends advice. Im just getting very dissalusioned by their ways, which can be dangerous or even illegal, and everyone worries too much about their jobs to say no to them. Thanks for the replies anyway, makes a difference

My sons going through similar at the moment Col. i keep telling him, stuff em, keep smiling and don't let the b'stards wind you up.
I found in the past when it gets bad, it becomes all consuming, spoils everything, then all of a sudden i thought..f'kem, they're not spoiling my day any more.
The result for me was almost instant, like a door's opened. You can slip back of course, but when you decide to stop it spoiling your day, its a revelation.

Sorry to see this thread and hope things improve for you. I was in a similar position a few years ago - found another job and then applied for voluntary redundancy which I got! In ne job with less hassle though it still has its moment. Biggest lesson - it is a big world out there and there are other jobs available. Best of luck and remember you are not alone and 'big companies are stupid' 
I left a job not long ago because they wer acting like dicks & I'd had enough.
TBH, now I realise that there's more to life than simply being employed & I won't be treated like that again. Refuse to do anything illegal, you will be the one the law convicts.
If they sack you, take them to the cleaners - like I did to my ex-employer & won!!
If you go down the constructive dismissal route, make sure everything is documented & you have a colleague you can rely on 100% to back you up if needed. And take proper legal advice!

Will do
Are instructions given to you verbally or by paper/email? It can help (if you have the opportunity) to move some of the verbal communication to email, even if it's just to back-up what has been spoken about - something like "Just to make sure I've got the details right ..." then outline the key points of what was discussed. It gives you something concrete to refer to if there are any questions later on and helps to identify gaps or inconsistencies in communication from other parties.
Just remember to leave work at work; when you've done your daily grind, switch off from it and focus on the other things in your life. It's hard to do, and can drive you to absolute distraction, but don't let it consume you because I've been there and it's not pretty, let me tell you!
Cheers,
Shaun
