    OP, if you came on this site for advice you've had lot's of it, most very good advice.

    We live in the real world, what doesn't happen here is the touchy-feely 'your bosses are all brutes' type stuff. Try Mumsnet for that. Good grief, you've obviously never read through the site then! It is notorious for some of the most bigoted, nasty minded, foul mouthed near stormtroopers on the internet. You'll only get touchy feely if you are white, middle class, and right wing of Attila the Hun...
    NB I can't speak for the quality of their employment advice though Usually somewhere in cloud cuckoo land! .

    Being 'sacked' and being 'dismissed on capability grounds' are different. In law they are both exactly the same!
    To dismiss you on the grounds of 'capability', my understanding is that the company should go through certain steps. To dismiss anyone with more than two years service (and for wise employers, all people) the company should go though certain steps. There is no difference. They are pretty easy steps if someone had been off work long term and refuses point blank to return to their job!

    This link might help:

    I doubt it - do you have any idea how much law has changed in the ten years since it was posted?

    Corrected for you. NetMums is the huggy-feeling-there-there site, MumsNet is brutal. I'm on the latter. Go figure :D

    Mumsnet sound right up my street, I must investigate it after all!
  • Surely as an employer should be providing training. It's not a case of "I don't like it" I am bullied on a day to day basis, there is zero structure. Yes I could raise a grievance but I don't see the point.

    This job paid more and that's it


    Can you explain how you are being bullied...would help to understand your situation.

    I can understand how diztabilising it must have felt if you were thrown out of your comfort zone and this came with stress you never had before but ultimately your boss didn't give you signs she was unhappy on the contrary telling you to give it longer is showing their understanding.

    However it does make sense that 6 months after using a new system, you would still find it so destressing to do so. What do you expect from training? Nothing much more than taking you step by step through it which is surely what you would have had to do during all this time.

    I think there is more to it than just lack of training to use the new system.

    I think we should let this drop. The OP has long gone and was never interested in anyone else's opinions to begin with.

    Quite!

    Sadly not the first and certainly won't be the last!
