Sacked!!

jobbingmusician

OP - you are in shock and hurting ATM. This will fade with time. Make sure they pay you your notice and any outstanding holiday - with any luck this will be a little buffer to help you bridge the period until the next job.

Tell any new potential employer that this job didn't work out and you were sacked for looking for a new job while in your probation period - I think this is a fair summary of what happened. (I also think it's outrageous that the employer accused you of lying in your CV. They had no idea what you were going to do with your CV once it reached your home email address. However, they had every right to read any correspondence which went through the work computer.)

I do not think that being sacked for looking for a new job once you realised that the job you were in wasn't for you is likely to have any adverse effects on your future employment prospects. Go forth and prosper! Let this experience go, and just see it as a small dark patch in life.

they have written o me, ans advised me that I cannot be trusted because I sent an application form during work hours and using company it.

they have also said that I am committing fraud by not updating my linkedin profile ad my cv and not disclosing it on applications

They're right about sacking you


they're wrong about linkedin and your cv.

That is a termination, and to be honest you are better off without them.

The problem with going somewhere, where the satff have been there donkey's years, is that they do things on autopilot, second nature, and they do not appreciate a new member of staff has to learn everything from scratch, even if the basics of the job are the same from company to company.

They are well within their rights to take the view that you cannot be trusted because you were using your employers time and resources to job hunt.

I can't see that there is any fraud involved with not updating linkedin - there may have been a breach of their internal policies if you didn't update your pofile to show that you were working for them, but I can't see how it would be fraud (or how it is relevant, now that you no longer work for them)

In relation to your CV and applications - they only have standing to comment on how you completed the application for the job with them. If you left somthing off which should have been on the applciation form then they are entitled to view that as misleading / dishonest and treat it as a disciplinary issue. What you put on any new job application is between you and the new employer.

Unless you have a pattern of leaving jobs after a short time / bing dismissed, then a one-off is probably not going to be a major issue for you moving forward,.

I only wished they could have understood that!

the sad thing is that if they had invested the time in the first place I would not have felt this way. they said they would pay for my training, and then pulled it from under me. I expected to be enrolled on commencement and then they said no - the qualification was a condition of the contract...

I'm confused. The qualification was a condition of the contract...but you don't have that qualification? Do you mean gaining the qualification was a condition and that they agreed to fund your study for this? And they subsequently refused to do so?


That's not exactly clear from your OP, which goes on about them reading your (work provided) emails and informing other staff (perhaps necessarily) that your probation had been extended. But to be honest, the meaning of a lot of your posts is unclear (not good for a prospective Co Sec).


They've sacked you - whether it was "fair" or not is a bit irrelevant as there's little you can do. (I agree with others that the stuff about your CV and LinkedIn and fraud sounds like bo77ocks).


Hope it's not my bank - they sound pretty crap.

But they did do it, move on.
