Month: August 2022

They’ve helped me when I struggled and they’ve been very helpful when I need more or less hours, I’ve never quit a job before and always just been let go or fired so how do I tell them to shove their job up their ass without feeling like shit? Can I text them or can I walk in with a bit of paper asking for redundancy or giving them my notice? Do I tell them in advance I am doing this? My job is a single job that they’d have to cover until they got someone else so can I ask for redundancy after so many years or do just say I quit and walk out? I’m in the uk so idk if redundancy laws are different

Told my co worker who got hired with me I got 20 an hour. He does the same job, with arguably more experience than me, for 18.50 an hour. He had a meeting with the boss and said I should make the same amount as Me, (told him to use my name so I could back him up) and a few days later I was fired with absolutely no reason as to why. I asked for one and all he said was “The company is moving in a different direction, your last day is today”. Hmmmmmmm

So, this happened a few years ago. Right around August of 2020 when COVID was really taking off. I had worked w/ the company for 10yrs, starting very low & worked my way up to the executive management group. The company had a single Owner, who controlled everything. I had met my wife there & we had gotten married a few years later. She had been given a few promotions & had agreed to a 45hr work week, that included guaranteed overtime. She was doing that for about a year. I got a call from a recruiter who had an opportunity that was too good to pass up. I played everything by the books, giving a full two weeks notice & taking the extra time to write manuals & clean-up documentation for many of the processes they had, which I was mainly responsible for. I went above & beyond here…
