You'll get no stick for an attitude problem from me. I'm in the same boat. Presently, I can only accept work in places where I have friends who'll sub me including the fare to get there. In three months I've gone from having a surplus to get me to the next job, sink into some (what's the point CPD) and pay off some debts to getting threats to having my power disconnected.
(I'll vent some spleen on the local authority which not only made me sit a "voice stress detector" test, but has still not process my housing benefit claim after three months some other time.)
Don't get me wrong, I really love my job, but how long is it sustainable for? I'm not young anymore and this is embarrassing. Had I a pound for ever job I've been turned down for for either (a) "employment periods of insufficient length to show commitment to a company," or (b) "being over-qualified for the appointment," I could start my own business.
You have my sincerest commiserations.
