The reality is that you will likely find more examples of the latter.

A very low percentage of CD claims are successful.

It would depend on what you reasonings are.

Each case is completely individual, you wont get help on here without details to be honest.

Bullying
intimidation
change of role
no support
no appraisals or one to ones
list goes on but I am reluctant to divulge the more serious matters , the list above is just the tip of the iceberg really .

Did you report the bullying and harrassment to your HR department or manager? If not, then I'm afraid you will find this very difficult to prove

Change of role - in these times companies are quite often forced to change roles, but that does not come under constructive dismissal. They are quite able to do this under a restructure provided that consultation has been carried out.

By no support you will need to provide more information about what you do and what support you can reasonably expect? It can be argued that you need to be competent to do your job without support.

No appraisals or one to ones - these aren't mandatory by law, but can be dictated by your company policy. Again not grounds for constructive dismissal.

Without you being able to divulge the more serious matters I'm afraid it becomes a case of how long is a piece of string

That sounds like a normal day at my place

Hi , yes I reported it but wasn't officially acted upon , more like a sweep under the carpet . Another member of staff also reported it also . I know I need to go and seek legal advice but I was just interested to hear if anybody had been through anything similar

You need to say how long you have worked there, because it may cost you more than what compensation you will get etc.

Perhaps a compromise agreement would be a better way to go?

Are you still working there or have you already resigned?
