Please help problems with my Employer

  • Please don't go Sangie
    Thank you everyone, but this has to be a matter of principle. If people are banned for telling the the truth - my previous warning was for saying someone was a practiced liar after they had admitted forging two previous employment references and intended to do it again! So not an offensive statement but the truth. Or banned for taking a stand against racists who regularly post on this site with not even thinly veiled disguises. And we aren't allowed to say a thing about it? What kind of place does this make this site to people who are not white and born in the UK? Preferably for 500 generations or so, just to be sure that they are pure enough! If the kind of conversations that routinely take place on this site happened on street corners, or in shops, or anywhere else, then we would be looking at public order changes and incitement to racial hatred.

    I cannot lend my support to this - to turn a blind eye makes me as guilty as they are. Three weeks ago today I was posting, helping people with employment problems, lying in a hospital bed having had a total hip replacement the night before. Why should I show that kind of commitment to something that had no committment to me, or to the things that I value? I really do appreciate the support of people, but my question would have to be - if everyone turns a blind eye, what does that make you? If the site deserves the people it has it'll clean up its act. I don't think it will, so it didn't deserve you.
  • I have just reported MSE Andrea's post for being insulting to the intelligence.
    It would appear that multiple racist threads and comments about Jo Cox deserving to be murdered first qualify as " grossly inappropriate". I wonder what does?

    And mightily surprised this is still under the radar.

    I plucked up the courage first thing this morning to ring the managing director of the complany and explained everything. I also sent pictures I had taken over the months and recording of conversations I had taken over the months. I am pleased to say I have just had a phone call saying this managed has been instantly dismissed on grounds of Mal practice and sexual harassment and the company have offered me more child friendly hours.
    I would like to thank everyone for the kind and helpful messages I received but to the last few posts that were put on which were very immature and negative to those people I would like to say shame on you!
    My advice to anyone else in here who experience difficulties at work your mobile phone is a great tool! Make sure you use it to take photos, videos and record conversations! Don't let ignorant and abusives members of management get away with bullying, harassment and inappropriate behaviour.
    What a load of !!!!...

    Well done for calling them out on it in the first place, and well done for your reaction. I'm out of here as well. I'm sure I won't be missed, but their attitude here is abysmal.

    First SarEl, now Sangie.
    I did think that you both could be a bit blunt at times, and there were a few ouch moments, but worth it for the quality of the advice.
    I'm sorry to see you go but am not surprised with the stand you've decided to take. And this forum will be the poorer for it.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    We refreshing to see someone basically cutting through all the cr*p and telling some people that they were wasting their time/energy/mental health with pursuing issues AND telling people who had genuine chance of either taking a case to tribunal or to fix their employment issue how to go about doing this in a constructive way rather than the 'nasty employer...give it to them'.

    Like elsien has said this has happened before with SarEl who I think now posts on another forum. I must admit I'm loathe to support an organisation that allows such racist posting but slaps down posters who remonstrate (even forcefully) with such individuals.

    I really enjoyed reading your posts Sangie, I learned a lot from them, I could trust your answers. Hope your recovery from hip problems goes well. All the best.

    It's going very well thanks. I had to check my PM's that came in - this will disappear soon (surprised it's lasted this long) but I have registered with moderated forums - Legal Beagles and CAG. Anyone who reads this can pass it on if people are looking for me.

    Aye good luck sangie

    Will be sorry to see you go, but completely understand why you will

    MSE seem to have lost site of what good these forums do, with people giving up their free time for nothing, to help people in need

    Nowadays it seems like unless you are an obnoxious racist bigot, you are no longer welcome

    The forum you go to are lucky to get you


    You and sarEl have helped so many people here. Even whilst telling others they were talking out the back of their bums, you did so so well :)

    Unfortunately certain members will be here first thing in the morning giving out bad advice, with very few willing to challenge them knowing the true facts

    Good luck sangie. Hope you do come back but really do understand X
