keyhole kate Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Some of you may rememeber I started a new job in November 08 in a completely different direction to before well in July 09 I was headhunted by the Manager of a different contract but still with the same organisation the post was on a Six Month fixed term contract not permenant as my previous role however I was assured it would be made permenant it was only on fixed term as 2 days were from another employee's materiny leave and that even if she came back my role would be safe He wouldnt ask me to apply and give up my perment contract if there wasent a full time permenant post at the end of the s months Blah blah blah!!!!] Guess what come Feb 17th 2010 I am out of work I cannot write how I really feel as this is a family forum I dont think I have cried as much since my mum died I keep bursting into tears on top of that I am having to work out my notice and see the lying cheating manager every day I feel sick from the moment I step imto the office until I leave. I received this bombshell on Wednesday and it has taken me this long before I felt I could even post it Sorry for the long rant I just felt I needed to share with friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 You poor thing, I can see why you are gutted I am so sorry, don't know what else to say really. I really hope that something comes up for you and that you can look back at this as the beginning of new and positive chapter in your life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Very sorry to hear it. I would take legal advice on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyhole kate Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Sadly Cinnamon no I had no reason having known this manager since I started with the organization to think it was anything other than legitimate offer and especially as he was headhunting me. You live and learn as they say I have just learned the hard way financially more than anything I was on a £22,500 k salary Ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I would too,actually. Even if you don't have anything on paper,it was a verbal contract & could possibly be subject to an unfair dismissals claim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Go to the Citizens Advice Bureau and get some free advice if you don't feel able to go straight to an employment lawyer. Or if there is a union in your line of work go to them. I wouldn't take this lying down if I were you. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyhole kate Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Very sorry to hear it. I would take legal advice on this. Having studied Employment law and it is also Employment that I work in Egluntyne I dont have a leg to stand on event though Contract law is not my speciality. As Cinnamon asked nothing was in writing, HR did say at the meeting I had a right to appeal against what although I never received a written job offer or Contract If you have worked the same hours for more than six weeks consecutively Under Emp Law it is considered that you have a contract. I am well and truly Stuffed Unless there are any Lawers out there who know more about contract law than I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 That's terrible, I'm so sorry . It seems very unfair that that manager can get away with treating you like that . Perhaps it will have a silver lining and an even better job is somewhere out there for you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Are you able to return to your old post? They do that in the NHS, where you move from your permanant post to a fixed term, but as you are a permanant employee, you can go back to your old grade. Maybe worth asking your HR department.

chick wiggle Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 This is just terrible, Im so sorry. Surely there must be something to be done, it just sounds wrong. how can they get away with taking you out of a permanant post to a temporary/likely permanant post??

keyhole kate Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thanks Guys I have had lots of time to think about it today whilst super cleaning the cube and spending time with the girls (chicken Power) I have gone from feeling helpless to MAD so I intend to put in an appeal with HR as well as making it clear I will if neccessary take it to an Employment Tribunal. I did it before with my previous employers and won when even solicitors would't touch the case as they said it wasen't winable I probably wouldn't win but hey Ill go out fighting besides ET's cost employers lots of time and money at least I will have the satisfaction of watcking him squirm Watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyhole kate Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 I had an absolutely awful day at work today the Toad called me into is office as he didn’t like I had sent out an email on Friday to the Employment Advisors telling them what the position was that it wouldn’t be worth them sending me any new clients as I won’t be there to work or support them. He didn’t like the tone as he perceived it that I was suggesting it was personal. Boy did I let him have it both barrels rounding off the conversation with, I was taking it as far as I could with HR and then to the ET if necessary Suck on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
