Been in my current job for 7 months and a new company has just taken over the contract where I’m at. I was promised that all the current conditions of my contract would be carried over and that essentially nothing would change for me aside from the name of the company paying my wages. Just found out today that due to some sort of loop-hole within the contract they don’t have to honour it, resulting in a wonderful conversation with the new company’s HR where I was told my working hours would be increasing, the amount of work I’m expected to do will be massively increasing and to top it all off I’m going to be taking a £3,000 pay cut in addition to 5 less holidays each year. Oh and my pre-arranged 5% pay rise which was due to happen in a few months won’t be going ahead either.
Fuck work.
