The job that I ended up taking was a 6 month contract position, not a
permanent job. The decision to take up a contract job was made out of
necessity not of choice. This was after over a 4 month job search for a
permanent position. The pay and distance from home is similar to the
permanent job that I was made redundant from. I assume from what you say
that this situation will count in my favour as far as "just and equitable is
concerned.
