Ok so here's the scenario, you don't like the job, you want to leave the job below.
The issue is the team you're in is arguably understaffed, if not correctly staffed in number. However work is relatively steady, less than say 12 months ago, it's not exactly picking up.
In your position you are being paid ~30% more than the market rate, your peers and that the role commands because you've been 'sidelined' and therefore aren't being used to your full potential. The company could easily find someone more suitable (and willing) for £10,000 less, perhaps even £15,000 cheaper.
You know because of the outlook and the chairman's frank discussion the company still needs to save money and although on solid ground still isn't out of the woods yet.
If you were working for a big company that has been actively cutting costs and jobs for the past 24 months and you were wanting to leave but had yet to be offered redundancy would you ask for it?
