Off, Off and Away

A simple – and non-sweary – explanation of why my position with the company was now untenable, making clear references to a lot of policies that amount to nothing less than constructive dismissal, and referring to legal advice I’d taken over the last week, and bang, I’m done.
I come back into the office on Friday to sort out some final things. I’ve also been asked to do a couple of small things for the company over the next couple of weeks (although they depend on Arsehole Boss not being an Arsehole, so it’s not certain I’ll even have to do them) which is fine – it means I get paid for the entire of September, and then also get a month’s pay in lieu of notice, and a month’s pay as a severance deal.
All told, I come out of the entire thing Golden, and smelling of Roses.
Can’t be bad.
I’d love to know , using your experience in these matters, how to get some severence pay, that would mean I could tell this companyto stick their job and give me a month or so off to mend my frayed nerves
