Nope. Let them make the move - in the meantime they are paying you, and getting guilty about letting you go in a bad climate - which could push the redundancy money up, even a little.
And the more they pay you to turn up each day, that's another day you aren't spending redundancy money / savings and looking for a job.

If you think about it this way, they are paying you to find another job, and providing office supplies while you do it!


BTW: if "the hammer hasn't fallen" today, take the more expensive bits of your personal kit home tonight. I had one employer who went through my desk over the weekend after I handed in my notice and took everything valuable away - including the copy of Visual Studio I had paid for because he was too tight to upgrade...and also changed the access code number for the building to make life difficult for me.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
