Do I have any redress? I've been working part-time for UK company (“permanent”) and boss recently asked me to go full-time, but I declined. Working part-time is fine for me and I live a super frugal life, to make it do-able. The company is also madly inefficient and and boss is totally hands-off disinterested in all of it. Place runs like a slug, and morale has hit the floor because no-one ever felt heard. Full-time would make no sense and I politely made my excuses. Roll on a couple of weeks and the boss decides he doen't need my services anymore , as in: not at all, and sacks me instantly, without any conversation discussion or warning. I was locked out of all our software and email and he made up a totally fictional excuse about the “way i talk to people” to palm it off and disown his behaviour. It's clearly unfair dismissal but as I was there less than 2 years is there honestly nothing I can do about it? I'm just so angry about it and it's knocked me for 6. I have lost all motivation to play this game anymore and beg for another job. I hate this guy so much, he even took 6 months to send me the P45 he bragged about sending, he's such a gutless tool.
