5 interesting moments

[Stanley]

Thanks Stanley, what exactly is "gardening" leave. Is that a long break with a possibility of coming back again?

Good wiki explanation here Ed:

Gardening leave describes the practice where an employee leaving a job – having resigned or otherwise had their employment terminated – is instructed to stay away from work during the notice period, while still remaining on the payroll. This practice is often used to prevent employees from taking with them up-to-date (and perhaps sensitive) information when they leave their current employer, especially when they are leaving to join a competitor.

Employees continue to receive their normal pay during garden leave and must adhere to their conditions of employment, such as confidentiality, at least until their notice period expires.

thanks Stanley that's interesting, I'm glad he is still being paid, deserves it more than some of the time wasters we have at the club.
