Only problem is it may have a detrimental effect on Dave's career!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Persistently being drunk at work would work or not turning up at all without Dr's certificate.<BR/><BR/><BR/>However I would suggest waiting till they have voluntary redundancy, keep treading water till that comes around again.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Keep your chin up.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Posted by Nick On Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 9:19 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Ann <BR/> <BR/> <BR/>Well sex in public is none of the company's business.<BR/><BR/>I know other people who've had sex on the premises and they haven't been fired, but maybe HR didn't find out. I don't remember seeing it being identified as against any rules though.<BR/><BR/>But, it's an interesting idea and I'll just make sure if I follow this route, I'll misbehave with someone other than Dave - one of us needs a career.<BR/><BR/>Drunk at work wouldn't work. I'd just be sent for counselling.<BR/><BR/>Not turning up without Doctor's certificate would probably be viewed as an action brought on by stress.<BR/><BR/>There was VR in December, doubt we'll see it before the end of the year again. And even if it's available the company has to agree they're happy to see you go. I'm not sure this would be a sticking point, but you never know.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Posted by Ann On Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 9:28 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Barbara <BR/> <BR/> I got myself fired once... by not turning up any more. Eventually someone noticed and sent someone around for my security card... not to see if I was dead or alive though...<BR/><BR/>I suggest aiming for some sort of constructive dismissal... then you can go for compensation too!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Posted by Barbara On Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 10:16 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Ann <BR/> <BR/> I think getting myself unjustly fired would be ideal.<BR/><BR/>Posted by Ann On Thursday, March 01, 2007 at 2:42 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Jane <BR/> <BR/> <BR/>Ann..... This one should not be too difficult for you, every time someone asks you to do something just say Fcuk Off. Eventually they will dismiss you. At this point you can claim unfair dismissal as you were suffering from stress caused by them expecting a mother who works 3 days to do 6 days work If you can turn it into discrimination against a working mother then the min payout is 50K !!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Posted by Jane On Thursday, March 01, 2007 at 2:27 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Ann <BR/> <BR/> Interesting that this week it was reported that women with young children, defined as children under 11, are the group that is most discriminated against in the UK workplace.<BR/><BR/>Posted by Ann On Saturday, March 03, 2007 at 1:22 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Ann <BR/> <BR/> <BR/>I already tell everyone to f*** off. Have done for the last 16 years. They still haven't fired me.<BR/><BR/>I know of a case of unfair dismissal where 5 years salary was paid. That sounds quite good.<BR/><BR/>My ideal would be early retirement on full pension.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Posted by Ann On Thursday, March 01, 2007 at 2:31 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> RNB <BR/> <BR/> <BR/>You shouldn't give me ideas <BR/><BR/>as I'm sure you know, in theory we contractors are paid an excess to compensate for the risk, but we constantly live right on the brink ... we do any of those six things, or if we are even just suspected of doing any of those six things, or if the work requirements change, or if we just say something that offends a permanent employee, or if they just get bored of us, or simply don't want to pay us any more, then that's it, we are effectively "fired" on the spot, no notice or reasons or recompense needed. <BR/><BR/>but hey it's more fun living life on the edge isn't it <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/><BR/>Posted by RNB On Saturday, March 03, 2007 at 12:51 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]<BR/> <BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Ann <BR/> <BR/> Which is why, as a permanent employee, if I am fired, I want to ensure it's financially beneficial for me.<BR/><BR/>Posted by Ann On Saturday, March 03, 2007 at 1:23 PM <BR/>[Remove] [Reply to this]Ann Cardushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06706862238428041940noreply@blogger.com
