Shafted at work, again...

[TopCat]

If it's a notice period, it has to be the same terms and conditions -i.e. pay, leave entitlement, etc. - otherwise it's a new contract. Despite any cuntishness, it seems that he's at least realised that.

You may wish to ask for confirmation in writing that this will be the case, but I'd not make it a sticking point - in effect, you already have it in writing, because it's in your contract and unless you've agreed (in writing) to a change to that contract or to an entirely new one, then the existing contract subsits.

However, thinking of getting things in writing - may be an idea to get an agreed reference written up before you leave?

I am hoping in the end we can negotiate a settlement. I might give a discount on the notice period if it's paid as pay in lieu and done as an ex gratia payment with an agreed reference set in stone.

The CEO is just throwing one set of obnoxiousness at me after another. I can handle this, it's just a bit wearing.

Remember they are cocks. As cocks, hit them where it hurts - the wallet.

 

[TopCat]

What a day of it. It is hard to handle, a continual undermining.

Cheers for the support you good people.

It is undermining. They're trying to make you go with their appalling behaviour, so they can claim you decided to leave.

Your continued attendance is the best revenge - leave when you decide to, not when they do.

His new tactic is to regale me with tales of Marks and Spencer management in the 1980's. He thinks we should get rid of elected politicians and replace them all with M&S managers. This is all worse than shouting and so on.

Dunno really.

If you had a month to ask for your money back after the formation of a new government, that wouldn't be a bad thing...

 

[TopCat]

Or you could bring your govt back, with under arm staining and a whiff about it and get another one and an apology.

 

[Quartz]

Just a quick note to say well done and I admire your fortitude.

Or when you get given a government policy you didn't want as a present, they'd let you pick the one you wanted instead.

Started spunking in the milk yet ??

 

[TopCat]

I am continuing to be pleasant, charming and helpful. I peed a little in his executive kettle though.

Why only a little? Go back to fetching milk for him but jizz in it.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

If he dies could you apply for his job?

 

[Greebo]

Creative thinking, I like it.

 

[killer b]

Go back to feltching milk for him

steady on!

Cultivate some cock-cheese and then smear it on the rim of his executive coffee mug?

I'm so glad I can't see that image....

How about you rinse his mug in the toilet bowl?

 

[StoneRoad]

insert some laxative chocolate into more chocolate.....then screw up the loo door..
..or, better still - give the chocs to him just before he leaves for the day...he'll have an interesting night!

 

[TopCat]

Bastard started the day with a totally unreasonable attack on me. I am seething. I told him he was being ridiculous and unreasonable.

 

[weepiper]

never mind, if he keeps this up you might be able to sue him for constructive dismissal too.

 

[Radar]

Just think of the kettle and the man cream in his milk.... breathe slowly and smile, perhaps with a "whatever" and a twirl of the hand.

It will annoy him such much more not to be able to get a rise out of you.

Have they come back to you with a written redundancy offer yet ??

 

[TopCat]

No they fucking have not (sorry for swearing but hey).

It's a stupid way of dealing with things.

There are some organisations / managers who are sufficiently high on the cuntitude scale that if they are in a position of making redundancies that they will try either to piss people off enough that they quit, or try it on with dodgy disciplinaries, so that they don't have to pay redundancy.

It sounds like that's what this twunt is trying to do. Bear that in mind - if you're polite and charming enough in response, it might just send his blood pressure high enough to be dangerous.

Although he might just be in a bad mood because his coffee tasted funny this morning...

never mind, if he keeps this up you might be able to sue him for constructive dismissal too.

I can't remember if I said this earlier in the thread, but tread carefully here and seek qualified advice (eg call ACAS if you're not in a union) before going down this path. I think you normally have to at least have tried to sort matters out through the grievance procedure before you walk out. If you don't follow the right procedure, then the tribunal can dismiss a claim on technicalities.

 

[TopCat]

He just came down and apologised. Toothache and sciatica apparently provoked his rudeness.

If I was going to wish evilness on someone, toothache and sciatica would fit the bill.

Oh yes, distractingly painful, sporadic, impossible to zone out, and no hope of a quick death from them either. VEG

 

[TopCat]

And I still have not had notice regarding redundancy!!

 

[TopCat]

Still had no notice. <roll eyes>

 

[Pingu]

look on the bright side every day without notice in a extra days pay
