Had about a day off a year until the "run" started in November. Never late once and I washed my cup after having a coffee

Re: All outa luck...
 

Great news then.

Looks like their dumbarse HR Manager will be looking for a job sometime in the future:lol:

You let yourself down though mate, washing up. You nancy boy:p

Re: All outa luck...
 

I will tie up with someone legal over the next few days. I see no reason I don't have a solid case. The kicker was when I went into work, although signed off, on Friday to call some customers and catch up, the new guy was already at my desk...

Re: All outa luck...
 

That must have absolutely awful :(:frown:

Re: All outa luck...
 

I really like the guy too. He was gutted. I shook his hand and wished him all the best! I am angry now!

Re: All outa luck...
 

Actually you didn't do yourself a favour going in to work whilst still on sick. They can [and probably will] try and use it against you saying you were fit enough to work. Your Dr will argue that point though;)

Make sure you take lots of notes, include dates and specifics i.e. who the chap was who was at your desk as this demostrates they made a decision even before they'd discussed things with you:blink:

Maybe you should apply for the HR Managers job:lol:

Re: All outa luck...
 

I had to go home some of the few days I went in. One day I fainted! I realise it was a mistake but I didn't expect a shafting, I was just trying to keep the customers in the loop and stay in touch

Re: All outa luck...
 

To be fair you can't be angry with him. He was doing what he was told.

Technically the company has a right to ask someone else to cover however as a long term solution, it should be agreed with you and then the role advertised so as to demonstrate it was not a "fait accompli"

They haven't been very bright have they:D

Re: All outa luck...
 

If they had informed me first and kept me on the same salary they could have gone through the motions and got away with it. I am a while from fit. They jumped the gun and I feel sure I have a case. I will find out.

Re: All outa luck...
 

This gets better:lol:

So....you were on sick leave, which presumably they knew about, and you had a sick note, which presumably you provided, and they let you work and you fainted:rofl:

The tribunal will have a field day with these clowns:lol:

On the downside, and joking apart, depending what job / industry you're in depends whether you'll be "frozen out" of the job market for taking it to tribunal. Businesses stick together and Brissy is a small market.

Good luck mate, not that you'll need it:lol:

Re: All outa luck...
 

My industry should be ok. I know their competitors and I have a few customers in my camp. I should have no issues getting another job when I am fit but I will do anything, may even go out on my own. I am 43 and this is my first time claiming benefits, it feels strange.

Re: All outa luck...
 

Sounds like a plan:thumbup:

As for benefits, mate you've been ill and that's what they're for. Hope things are soon on the up, including the cumberland:lol:

Re: All outa luck...
 

The rest is true but I lied about the sausage!!

Re: All outa luck...
 

Chippolatta then:lol:

Re: All outa luck...
 

:sneaky: That's Bernie!:lol:
