:cry:
After 5 years in a job I loved, I was made redundant in March. I found an excellent job and looked forward to starting.
Another company approached me the day before my start date and asked me not to take that job and work with them. Their job seemed like an excellent opportunity.
I agreed provided I got written confirmation by the end of the day. In good faith I told the other job I wasn't going.
It all went wrong from the start:
A week later, confirmation and a contract hadn't arrived but they asked me to start anyway.
When I started, I found that I, the newbie was the only one in my branch who knew the first thing about what to do. I have been working hard and trying to seek information from the company to help me do my job but without success. They don't understand my work yet have formulated unrealistic expectations despite me informing them they are not feasable.
I have been chasing a contract or even a confirmation of employment letter with no joy snce I started 3 weeks ago. My payroll forms were submitted with a colleague's and mine alone were lost. I resubmitted them and they have still not been input.
I have not been paid this month butg my colleague who started with me has. Also, I still cannot get verbal or even written confirmation of my terms and conditions.
Today, the MD announced to my manager he was firing me, with no reason given. He declined to speak to me and asked my manager to.
The manager told me he thought it was wrong.
The company wanted me to leave at the end of today, because I have no contract, I have no leg to stand on.
Well, my manager persuaded the MD to put me on probation. I should already be on a contract with built in probation so I said I need the MD to sign a confirmation letter. He refused.
The managers asked him again and he eventually told one of them to sign it.
I have been so stupid.
I used to work for the NHS where everything was slow but not this slow. I reaslise I have been a fool.
I have effectively been volunteering for the last 3 weeks. Oh yes, 8am -5.30am with an hour and a half travel each way.
What a sap I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sigh:
My colleagues have been lovely but they have all been paid, have contracts and safe jobs.
I don't trust the company.
Soooooooooooooo wanted to dive into a KFC bucket.
For a nanosecond.
I've been on CD for over 4 weeks now so its gone and turned into a habit.
At least I am managing one part of my life alright.
DP is being an angel. He says I am clever and perfect and he loves me. Says that all we need is to be together and we'll have a nice life.
Now:cry:but for the right reasons.
Do please give me ahug though. DP's sweet words will wear off around 7am tomorrow morning.
