  • I'm struggling to see why you are having a go at the poster, she employed the person on a set contract, she has allowed other people to go flexible because the company could still operate efficiantly. Unfortunately for the person she turned down she could not keep doing it. To me this is a very fair employer who had to put the company first on this occasion.

    Wires crossed. Big time.

    OP is the employee. No-one has had a go at her. It is unfortunate but she was just too late.

    Are you on the right thread?

    Ah ok, to clarify, I was talking to Dtreesa (not the OP) who was having a go at CannyScot.

  • OP, you have made some good points in your answers here so whyy not appeal and use those points at the hearing? Are you in a Union? Do you have someone who could go with you?

    going into a meeting saying "you dont really need me at all, so why not let me work the hours I want?" is a one way ticket to redundency.

    I have thought about it from my employers perspective and honestly don't see how my hours will cause an issue to the business.

    Appeal then.
