Offerd a position, but can't start on day requested

Post by Baloo »

I've been offered a role to start, however just found out I am going to be made redundant with quite a substantial package. I have spoken to the recruiter to ask for a delay in start date but fear they are now going to withdraw the offer. Will this affect reapplying? Stuck between a rock and a hard place..

its not something anyone on here could answer with any authority, either way, it's a gamble and a personal decision.

"Employers are always seeking more productivity from workers, without considering the human factor, the worker's age, the weather conditions and the intense heat. We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

How long is delay likely to be as with Christmas looming you sense the DO will want somebody to start this month/early December not wait until the new year when it'll be quieter.
