damn, just got layed off
« on: November 15, 2002, 02:29:31 AM »
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

Is there no way to challange the decision? Can\'t you not take him to an industrial tribunal or something?

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?

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!!

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 :)
