GOOD LUCK

Such a shame that you now have no job yet your inefficient superior still has hers.

Hope it can be constructive dismissal and that she is demoted!

Haven´t read it all but want to wish you good luck and all the best xx


will read the rest soon.

My actual line manager left over a month ago - just after my list of 'acceptable' absences was sent to me. She'd had enough, no support from her superiors, and actually agreed with me - more admin are needed. She also had very little say in me 'hearings' - but knew she had to put things from a skewed point. She managed to go without much notice (she'd found another job within the council)
However two of her superiors are now our line managers, and the one who 'manages' me is under the (false) impression that if she writes it down, it will be followed.
Neither of them know how to do our jobs, and the other one thinks we should be chasing clients for money. I informed her that I wasn't paid enough to be a debt collector - that was our line manager's job :-P
I also pointed out that the wonderful 'new' system - been in place for over a year, still doesn't work, and we've had no training on it - shows people as paying, if the name of the delegate is changed!!

New line manager is due to start at the end of the month.

Good luck Maggie :-D :-D :-D

well done Maggie


good luck next week xx

Good Luck Maggie you seem luckier than me. I gave my notice in 19th September to leave on Christmas eve. They say cant advertise my job to I leave. Can I come back and train the new person up? I am retiring

Ann, I hope your reply was suitable :-D

3 months notice - and they won't recruit before you leave?

Surely the higher management can train them?
Oh no, in this day and age, the hierarchy are too much 'above' knowing what others' do. Their job is just to lay more work on for the lower grades :-P

TOO MANY MANAGERS WITHOUT RELEVANT EXPERIENCE.
WHEN ONE MANAGER/SUPERVISOR LEAVE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THEM THEY SEPARATE THE TEAM PUTTING MORE ON THE MANAGER WHO DONT KNOW WHAT THEY DO THEN IT TURNS TO PROBLEMS THERE NOT SOLVED IT THEN BECOMES BIGGER THEN TOO LATE TO RESOLVE IN A FRIENDLY MANOR .

Maggie

I have PM'd you a little something that you might want to pin on the door on the way out!!

Good luck to you for tomorrow.

Prickles. x

:-D :-D :-D Prickles.

Where did you find such a good likeness of me?

No door, but will copy it. Never know when it could be useful :-D

Fool, if you think it's over
'Cause you said goodbye
Fool, if you think it's over
I'll tell you why

New born eyes always cry with pain
At the first look at the mornin' sun
Fool, if you think it's over
It's just begun

Maggie I seem to work for a firm like you. Last year I went sick for a month with stress. I had to go an see the occupational doctor for the firm. I tod him about the work load I was getting from my senior and she was swanning off to who knows where I was only in the office for 10 hours a week and outside with residents for another 10. I was never with the residents. When I had my "going back to work" my manager had gave her all my paper work from the doctor for her to do it. I was flabbergasted. Then that job came to an end at the end of March and she was sent somewhere else and I was given the job for 17 hours a week and do the paper work and repairs for another scheme. Where between 2 of us we were getting 35 hours I am now only getting 17 hours and with no support. I am a supported housing assistant in a homeless project so you can imagine the crap I get and the paper work with all the tenancy's and void work. They think I am coming back as relief I don't think so. I was thinking of writing a book about the place lol

Well about bleedy time Maggie...good for you :-D :-D <3

Good for you Maggie, well done :-) your resignation is not before time by the sounds of things.
Wishing you all the best in whatever you decide to do in the future, even if it's absolutely nothing!! :-D

Thank you all for your good wishes. I had been thinking about resigning for a while. The resignation letter had been sat on my computer for a good 6 months.
When mum died, at the end of 2012, we all (4 children 6 grandchildren) got a small amount.
I could have gone on an amazing holiday somewhere exotic for a week or two - but as work managed to ruin the two separate weeks I had in the UK this year, I didn't take that option, I would also have come back to the same, old, same old, and the exhaustion caused by stress would soon return.

By taking a couple of months 'rest & respite' at home I can turn my back on all the cr*p work flung at me, do a bit of genealogy, find some energy once the stress has subsided, cut down the overgrown trees and maybe sort out my spare room and re-find my dolls houses :-D

One of my brothers has suggested I sell some of my 'stuff' on e-bay

:-|

I also hope to meet up with Sharron

:-D :-D

Oh, and maybe re-decorate my kitchen. :-D

I won't be bored :-D :-D :-D :-D

Onwards and Upwards Maggie...........

Is the way to go!

;-)

Ann,
Why is it the so-called 'caring' side of employment has such an uncaring attitude towards their employees?
What makes them think admin is an easy job?

Prickles, I'm getting very excited
:-D
