I got let go by my company due to poor sales and poorer management. Here's some strips inspired by the whole "not having a job and looking for a new one" experience.

I freaking hate recruitment consultants.

No word of a lie, it must be dog-eat-dog in those firms, or at least dog-not-tell-wife-he-already-dealing-with-a-Mr-jes_lawson-so-don't-put-him-forward-twice-to-same-customers-and-make-us-all-look-dumb-to-clients-k?

How the bell-end does a professional firm not know which clients they're dealing with and which their colleagues have already seen?

Rant over. I expect I'll have more to come as long as I'm enjoying unemployment as much as I currently am.

<3 at least you knew you hated your job before you got canned. It would really suck if you loved your job.

some see unemployment as a setback. i see it as an opportunity for you to make more hilarious stoned star trek cartoons

I think Jes should stay unemployed forever and just make comics.

I should also explain a P45 is the form you get from your old employer when you finish working for them. You then give it to your new employer if/when you get a job.
