How to go from promotion to written warning in 2 weeks

only just caught this thread badgers, but fair play to you - you've put up with more shit than I could

I LOVED the crisp packet put-down, that was fantastic and one that I will treasure forever.

let us know how it all goes, your EX place of work seems like a fucking horrendous little hole of sad 'managers' who can't manage to find their arse with both hands. Amazing how normal people like us can grasp such simple matters....

... and we all want to hear about the exit interview! :D

btw isn't withholding your bonus, threatening to withold your salary all very dubious legally. Ask to see copies of policy regarding sickness, pointing out that you have a MEDICAL reason ... time to give a bit of threatening noises about victimisation, getting legal advice, been down to the local CAB/law centre etc, 'we wouldn't want this to go any further would we?' etc etc
 
Bad management

Badgers - is there a union in your workplace? If yes chat to them, get support.

Has this manager got a past history of telling porkies? If they say they are going to sack you, mention employment tribunals, bullying, harassment and bad management. Most employers hate tribunals because they cost money.

OK you don't like the workplace but make the shits work, if they want to get rid of you. Resigning maybe the easy thing but it is also the cheapest for them. Don't give them the luxury.

Started the new job on Tuesday 27th of Feb and loving it.

Nice promotion to fill out my CV
Much more chilled out company
Paying me more money and treating me well so far
Nice people who work hard but like a laugh and a beer

Happy days (with a hidden reference) :)

Hi Papingo :)

Exit interview was brutal and lasted for 1.5 hours with Manager 1

Told them what (I felt) they were doing wrong
Gave a lot of specific examples of poor process and procedure
Advised them what this was doing for company wide moral and performance
Pointed out salary differences and the lack of a level playing field
Some incidents of racism by incompetent managers / team leaders

Best of all I advised him that the feeling employees got from all this was that he was simply incompetent.

He actually agreed with me :)

Strangely I decided a while ago to leave on a VERY good note with everyone and so left my work perfect, worked at 100% for the last two months and felt pretty good when I finally left.
 
Well, that's lovely. Not as funny for us as if you'd gone out in a blaze of profanity. but good all the same.:)
 
New company has been taken over recently....

All quiet at the moment but the nice fellow called Ken who used to bring my cheque every month and tear my expenses apart has just been made redundant :(

I liked Ken
