You stand in the job centre, looking for another job.
How long had you worked there.
You really need a copy of the paper you signed.
You dont seem to have proof of anything.
So what is it you specifically want to knowmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
got the conversion on tape. the boss said he will ask me back and he told me to say no i dont want the job
can i still get jsa0 -
So, from what I understand, there were health and safely issues which you reported, and then you and the boss mutually agreed that you would leave? (Apart from anything else, there was less work to do someone needed to go).
So, if you will get JSA, you can chalk it up to experience and move on? Or are you looking for redundancy pay etc?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
he found out it was me he said that he had worked it out.
i work in a cold store at -18 for 9 hours and get on hour break all day that cant be right0 -
you're getting the legally required amount of breaks.
What is your point, and what do you want as an outcome?
You said you didn't want to be there, and now you're not there. What else is there?Debt free 4th April 2007.
New house. Bigger mortgage. MFWB after I have my buffer cash in place.0 -
Can we get this absolutely clear? As far as I understand you have both agreed that you no longer work there.
You do not go to work at all?
You cannot go back to that job?:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
How did the boss find out it was you? All reports are anonymous so who told him?
Maybe the OP? He was stupid enough to say he didn't want to work there, and stupid enough to sign a document he didn't read... and HSE inspectors don't "report back" so I guess he is making up the list as long as his arm too. OP got a one hour break (more than the law requires) and also was out of there every 2.5 hours - my maths make that a break more often than once in nine hours, And !!!!!! - this is a job in a COLD store. And he's complaining its COLD???0
