well ive been sick the lst few days, flu, though been feeling like shit since sun, but still ent in work mon and tues, got ready for work, just b4 went out checked the post, letter from work, basically it said terminated with immediate effect.
i really couldnt believe it, i was stunned, i rang up, the boss is a right bastard, and asked him why, he said ive taken to much time off sick, and my cad work not up to scratch.
well ive only took like 5 days off sick all year, one when i almost broke my ankle, then went to doctors, and had to come ion though in large amounts of pain, the other when i went to a and e, (remeber the bouncy castle incident) was in there half the day, but still managed to come in, but took the next day off, if i remeber corectly, cos the docs all touching it set it off bad, and the other 2 days when i had the flu, there may be one or two more that i dont remeber
as for the work, that just bullcrap, i know im good at cad work (design) btu the fact is for the last few months it feels there has been no work for me to do, plus when there is, the measurements ( as was doing office layouts etc) were all wrong, or they miss out the measurements i nedded to do it.
im mnot to pissed cos i didnt really like the job, when i was busy was ok, thought some peep in the office were not very nice, there was like no work to do most of the time, and they ****ed my pay.... grrrrrrrrrr
can they terminate my contract with no notice?? ive been there like 11 months
they said they was gonna send me on 3dcad course, they never did

You should go round and bitch slap him.
-
Is there no way to challange the decision? Can\'t you not take him to an industrial tribunal or something?
-
Sucks man..have a few drinks and call me in the morning.
-
i dunno, i was never given a full copy of my contract, so dont know if after so long you have to have notice to get fired, im more bummed cos aint got a job, so no money, though hopefully have new job soon, one i enjoy more and am respected and treated right..
trying to ring up my tutor at college, as they have compnies asking if peep want jobs all the time, gonna go up the college in a bit, go get a persectos??!!! and put my self on 3d cad course

-Dude I was layedoff about a nonth ago, It does suck. I worked for this place for 5 yrs then came in on a Mon and it was over.
It sounds like the were looking for a reson to det rid of someone, and if you are going to go on unemployment get it started know it takes a;most a month to start getting ot
-
cant get on unemployent, cos i live on a boat and stuff, dont know all the fact but cant.... not just cos i live on a bpat, but cs where i live
-
Damn that sucks. Knowing cad you shoudn\'t have to hard of a time finding work there is alot of demand in that field.
-
A lot of companies need to get rid of people to cut costs. Most of the time it\'s a case of last in- first out. Sending you on a course would have cost then even more money so I guess they thought it would be cheaper to sack you.
Bummer eh?
-
only a few hundred, im gonna send myself on it, should be free now im unemployed.... its only a small company, i would of understood if they said it cos there not doing to good, and gave me notice
-
They arent allowed to do that, legally, they must give you at least two warnings first. I kick some shit up about this, you might well get something out of them. I doubt they expect you to, people think they can manipulate younger staff, so I say stir up a hornets nest!!
-
Its nice to see people that use cad. I\'ve been learning it in school for 3 years now. I know about everything there is to know.
-
Ah yes- the local Kmart Bagger doesnt have good job security..
J/K
Hope everythign works out fine...

I don\'t think you need to be in possesion of a contract to demand an industrial tribunal. If you feel that you have been unjustly dismissed, there should be nothing to stop you challanging. Go to see a solicitor, or failing that, the citizens advice bureau.
-
Kurt\'s right. Your boss was just looking for an excuse to cut costs and your name came up first. Even McDonald\'s is laying people off and there is at least one other person here on the boards who got laid off. It sucks. I got laid off from my last job but now I have a better one.
Just remember how your boss treated you b/c one day you might run into him again under different circumstances :)

I worked at a pool swiping member cards through a computer. Talk about a shit ass job. I had little respect. My brother worked as a lifeguard and the guards harassed me. The gateguards (what I was) seemed to respect me. Anyway, I\'m getting a better job that pays like 7 bucks and hour. Better than minimum wage.
