False economy. Get yourself some proper legal advice from a specialist employment lawyer. Now.
Totally agree. My friend was in a similar situation and it was only when he obtained independent legal advice did the company take him seriously. He left with a good reference and 7 months salary. Money well spent.

That was my first thought on reading it as well.Savvy_Sue said:
Definitely one for your professional body, BUT has anyone else noticed clear age discrimination in this? Not even specifically against the OP, but unless they can demonstrate that those 20 years of experience really are needed, that should not have been included.ConfusedGuy2020 said:Unlinked to my complaint, on Monday I found my job advertised on LinkedIn. Line by line it is me, the job title a clone, I received no warning, we are meant to be under a recruitment freeze. The job advert also specifically requires a quantity of years experience older than my age, as in nearly 20 years' experience. I mailed my bosses and HR to ask if I'd been fired, I am now only in correspondence with HR.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Older than your age as in 'nearly 20 years' - you mean you are currently 19 or younger?ConfusedGuy2020 said:The job advert also specifically requires a quantity of years experience older than my age, as in nearly 20 years' experience.

I'm a higher rate tax payer so the amounts in question aren't insignificant.
If you're a higher rate tax payer and the amounts in question are significant, why are you trying to do things on the cheap by using only free sources? What's wrong with paying for some proper advice?0
