I have applied for six jobs so far and sent my CV off to many companies also.
Tomorrow I have a meeting with the Operations Manager at my current place of work when I'll be asking him if any suitable position is likely to exist for me within the company which doesn't involve any kind of shift work.
If there is, I may just hang on in there for a while, staying on nights after my debts are paid off. If there isn't, I will tell him he will received my resignation in due course.
It's a win-win situation to be fair, nothing to lose.

Keep them in the dark until you find something else.

There won't be a period between. Maybe I'll take a week to adjust my night hours to catch up with my body clock, but I intend to hand in my notice to tie in with my new job starting. Whenever that may be.

We'll see how accommodating they are towards somebody who has put in 19 years service with the company.

Especially with 19 years' service!Stranger things have happened no doubt! Something similar happened to me in that I had given in my notice as I had found a better job – the day after I left that company folded! I thought it unusual that my notice was requested in writing, usually it was verbal, just two-weeks' notice.
Alright I had another job but I missed out on the government redundancy payment. That was only one out of four redundancies in my working life but it does go to show what can happen.
he spent all his redundancy and a lot of his retirement package on a very nice apartment which he has in Scarborough. He gets his money back by letting it to friends and family.
Despite the pitfalls of my current company, they are actually expanding, though there are some serious problems with the management. I doubt it very much if I would be made redundant though, and can't wait around on nights for ever just to see if that would happen. Nope, time to move I think
