    Hi,
    It will make no difference at all to your ESA Support Group if you quite your job. Although i wouldn't advise doing that without getting some expert advice from ACAS. https://www.acas.org.uk/

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @bullocksmithy and welcome to the forum :) To help our users find your query I've moved it into our ESA category and changed the title slightly.

    Has Poppy's reply been useful for you? Let us know how you get on with ACAS, and if you're still unsure about anything, we're here to help.
