do you think there would be any case for fighting unfair dismissal though? the targets that were meant to be proven tobe reachable were only reached artificially and fraudulently, and the procedure followed for dismissal may have been policy, but it is certainly selective about who they put through the procedure, as evidenced by a worse-performing member of staff who is still working there to this day, and still underperforming.

I'm not speaking from a legal point of view (there are several legal eagles on the forum who will hopefully be along with their assistance), but from the sales angle, as a previous poster mentions, the very nature of sales is high powered, and becoming more and more cut throat as time goes by, and unfortunately, in most cases, the most ruthless sales people seem to be the most successful within certain organisations, such as the one you mention.

The engineering of 'getting people out' by manipulation is not limited to the sales industry, but I know by personal experience, they are exceptionally good at it, and in the same way that they have a script prepared for customers to buy products they neither want or need, there is also a script prepared for employees with a grievance, and they will certainly (well usually) have ensured that they have followed the grievance procedure to the letter, and furthermore, the fact that you exceeded your requirements for product (a), you did not for product (b).

I think that you would have an extremely bumpy ride in taking matters further (but you say that you don't intend to anyway), but you now have a job that you love, and a dream salary, enjoy it.
