It will be 12 months of mismanagement and us vs. them and then you'll leave for something less stressful. If you leave before the stress then you don't waste a year.

the problem I face is that it would cost me £2400 per year to do it.

That's a lot of money to find from your net salary. When BAE Systems relocated my workplace, staff were paid an allowance to cover the extra cost of the extra commuting. This dropped by 25% every year.

As for your job, are you production - assembly-line, field, manufacturing, etc - staff or back-office - IT, HR, Finance, etc - staff? If you are in the latter group, then you're not going to last long.

We've been told that they might contribute towards a 10% loan towards the costs. Which would be better than nothing. The other company we are merging with don't get any other type of contribution / pay adjustment so neither with me.

There are 11 of us and 9 of them in the department I am in. It was suggested they might be thinking of a team of around 13 - unofficially. I'm one of the two senior roles in our office.

Senior roles are expensive, and usually first to go. Normally I'd advise not leaving the sinking ship until it leaves you, but in this case jumping early does seem to pay, if only a little.
 
I've got the meeting today. I'll try to update the thread if I have time later tonight. Thanks for everyone's advice :)

Yea, it beats my £69k. But I was then unemployed for seven months, so I got £8k of the tax back later.

Yeah, I got a bit back two months later after sending a P50 off (£5k I think) as I had no intention of going back to work - took a year out and now I'm at Uni.
