Breech of contract?????
Comments

Hi, I'm catching up after some days 'out of it' (dealing with mental health issues and ESA assesment).
The OP's situation sounds so much like my old place - small company, run by Father and son. Son covering up mistakes, but reporting them back to his Dad, breeding paranoia.
Our system was based on spreadsheets - a quote or contract would be raised from the details based on this large spreadsheet via mailmerge type software - one mistake on this spreadsheet (not necessarily entered by the person producing the quote/contract) could produce a 'reportable mistake'. You often had to be aware of telephone conversations which had taken place to know if the differences in what had been entered was correct - a deviation from the 'norm', or a mistake by the sales team. Sometimes the details had been entered on the CRM software, but often not. It was a total nightmare!!!
In several of my previous jobs I'd got a reputation for having an eye for detail, a high work ethic etc. but try as I might I couldn't reach the 100% they expected. All the time I was there, staff were being disposed of for a variety of reasons, my predecessor was described as not picking things up quick enough, I wish I'd listened to the warning bells I heard then.Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0
