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

[Tanky]

sorry to hear about that dudley. i still don't know if i'll have a job after xmas either. Mind you, if there's a silver lining to be had, at least you'll get some decent time off over xmas. Also, when i got made redundant i used my pay off to go travelling and not end up as a special pie...

Jesus, Duds, that's shitty, all right.  You've got my sympathies - especially since you seemed happy enough with your job, unlike some of the moaners on here (self included).
I'd take the advice of the other boarders who suggested a bit of scripting to take your mind off it.

aw crap Dudley.  
that's a really poopy thing to happen right before Christmas.  I went through it all in the summer.  Claiming redundancy is like a scene from Brazil.  Still, you are certain to be better at that sort of thing than i am.  anyway, I was trying to say that I got made redundant and it forced me to play my hand.  I am now thoroughly loving my job and think its the best move I ever made.
chin up Trooper
and do enjoy Christmas
and do enjoy stealing things from work- the really small essential things like hole punches, staplers and marker pens are best.
or a photocopier.

Got my evidence together and it's rather more cast-iron than I'd originally thought.  Need to be calm and careful, but as far as I can see I'm owed at least a month's pay.

Fantasy line to open discussions with:

"Well, as you know, you've shafted me like a cheap whore..."

[Something Fishy]

I have seen this sort of thing before and i wish i could offer some advice but this goes way past my understanding.

employers just seem able to worm their way out of most things.

"Well, as you know, you've shafted me like a cheap whore..."

Or, you could try:

"If I was a whore, I'd be charging you double for f***ing me in the a**e like you have just done."

I officially left at 12 today, this is probably the last post from this work PC.  

At 12:05 a company director rang to offer me a new job within the same company.

Intriguing condundrum: if I can spin them along between now and the New Year, or if they can't get an official offer letter out to me before jan 1st, I qualify for redundancy payment AND new salary.

I really do work with a bunch of stone-cold idiots, don't I?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

[Richmond Clements]

Wa-hey!
That's a nice little move to pull on the bastards.

Dudley! Sticking it to the MAN!

Happy Xmas dude!

Go for it!

Also, as your board name is based on their company name, I strongly suggest you come up with a new one.

There's no need to recognise them, is there?
