Off-topic, urgent, help! (Employment Law)

Shit man, bad news...

As with Bou and GC, e-mail is as good as written, so nip down to Cits Advice or your local ambulance chaser and send them a rocket.

In the meantime take the redundancy and spend some time on your scripts. After all, after shating you like that, they don't expect you to be in between now and Xmas do they?

Also, remember to steal things from the office.

I'm sure you've thought of that.

Hang in there, mate.

In this case, the Trout is not being Evil at all.

Take it all and say Fuck-you very much as you leave!

Nah - done better than that already. Am leaving behind a client who they'll owe ?9K to if a problem isn't sorted out. Once the dept closes there'll be no way of sorting the problem.

Ooops.

Bolt-01 · 16 December, 2004, 10:14:54 PM

Heh, Give 'em hell Dude!

Byron Virgo · 16 December, 2004, 10:15:34 PM

That's the spirit: if they've fucked you over, make sure you shaft 'em good and proper.

Richmond Clements · 16 December, 2004, 10:16:10 PM

Like the King and the witch say, steal everyfuckingthing off the bastards you can.

Sorry to hear that Dud!

But remember: fuck'em.

"Am leaving behind a client who they'll owe ?9K to if a problem isn't sorted out. Once the dept closes there'll be no way of sorting the problem."

Ah there's nothing like a timebomb left by an embittered ex-employee - 'tis a thing of beauty.

May your next job come swiftly and nothing dampen your xmas and new year.

Matt Timson · 16 December, 2004, 10:28:07 PM

Nevermind, Duds- at least you still have your dignity.

Hmmm... actually, you're pretty fucked every which way, aren't you? Merry Christmas*!

;)

*I know I don't really have to explain that I'm just trying to cheer you up- it's for the benefit of the other idiots**.

**As opposed to you, another idiot.

Hell, mate - that sucks.
No idea on the legal status, sorry.

But I'll buy you a beer or two if you want to complain about them sometime.

LARF · 16 December, 2004, 11:43:20 PM

Ha, that means i'm not an idiot because I've just joinned the thread.*

*opening myself up for abuse here

seriously though you could sue them for lost earnings because you were not actively seeking new employment due to the fact that you thought you had a new job within the company. If someone has told you in writing that you have a job, then they should hold you to that offer. By saying that the contract will be with you in some many days is in fact a confirmation that a job has been offered. Citizens Advice should be able to clarify, call them to book an appointment. The time that it takes you to find new employment; say for example it takes you a month to find a new job and you worked a months notice, but did not seek new employment due to the fact that you had been offered a job in your exisitng co. you could bill them for the time it takes you to find a new job against the time you spent working for them on the presumption you had future employment.

Just seen this. Good luck.

Go duds , Go duds.

fuck em, leave your parting shot.

have a chilled Christmas

And calmly look for something much much better, like the boys say, youre shit hot clever & together, so the worlds yer oyster. I'm impressed with your "pain in the arse" philosophy perspective, feebler people would be gnashing & moaning about their life being ruined, yeah, shit like this no-one needs & its scary, but deep breathe, stay cool, stay dignified & sing after me " always look on the bright side of life de de dee deee deddeddde "

you want problems ? lemme tell you about problems.... joke.

my grump of the day is people who don't have perspective, a soon to be ex friend of mine has spent 8 months moaning & being depressed about the same terrible thing that happened.. all around grenades go off, houses fall down, earthquakes, nuclear bombs, & he's still going on & on & on about his emotions, hes' been offered work in bahamas & india, but nooooo phoneing everyone up 17 times a day to moan is a better plan... ARGHhhhhhhG , "like , walk overr the bridge!" (juve speak)

er, rant over, i feel better now.
