[MissyMooMoo]

Oh right I didn't know that. What is Meh that you sometimes say? lol

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you Ladies

Yes I will get Mat Leave as per planned hon but only because I have fought to recieve my pay and so far my rights (which partly I am still working on with my union!) I was told that I would only get pay for hours worked until the redundancy date, no SMP, no holiday pay, no redundancy pay nothing but I waved a few laws under their nose and that soon changed

It seems they are and I made a big mistake staying on to work for them after March they have def shown their true colours hon.

 

[MissyMooMoo]

I am so angry!!! How could they do that to you. My god you are a bloody good hard working girl and you always put your ALL and 110% into that job! And you loved it too. They are complete SH@@s!!!!!!!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Isn't there a case for unfair dismissal with ground of discrimination against a pregnant lady?????

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Yes hon there are several routes I can follow according to the union if I want to go there One been a `set up to fail` attitude from my Manager who hasnt helped me (or my colleague) to suceed in our roles for approx 3-4mths now hence the stress over work you have previously heard me mention and also because they have also failed to follow their own redundancy procedure therefore ignored our rights as employees the union think we have a good case if we choose to persue and we are slowly working things through right now. Funny am not feeling stressed anymore except when am actually in work (like today!) but certainly not at the situation anymore my aim is to simply make sure we get what we are entitled to and if we decide to persue then see that through...I am done and getting because its obvious they are totally not worth it!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Is it other people to that they have done this too then?

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Just me and one other colleague hon. Our area of work was a new project which started in the Summer and apparently isnt making enough money but with lack of support from your manager to make it work of course it wont so now they have thrust this upon us! We sort of had an inkling because our manager has refused to show lack of support in helping us to make it work and without a manager direction of course things fail. We have tried out best to our advantage but the project needs a managers drives and it doesnt have that so as I say we sort of expected it would come to this however that said the treatment surrounding it and leading up to it has been appalling especially since I am pregnant and such stress should be avoided in the workplace on pregnant colleagues/ladies We have good support though and me and my colleague will decide together wether we want to take action further or not We also have a good union so am sure it will all work out just fine and tbh its a blessing in disguise really because I dont want to return to work in a place after Charlie is born who treats people this way

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Ok..

But what will you do. When you you finish? Will you look for something different once Charlie is at an age where you can do this?

How long do you get your maternity money and is it gonna be guaranteed? Surely to god they cant take that from you as well!!!

I would feel like I wanted to kill that boss. He sounded a divy when you told him you were expecting I bet you wanna kick him right in the crotch now eh!

BLITHERING IDIOTS! They need shooting. They messed about with your nerves all this time and now they go and try to wreck your future. They are sellfish! Sellfish!! I hate the way they treat people grrrrrrrrrr

 

[MissyMooMoo]

I am sorry but you have touched a nerve with me. I used to work with a solicitors when I got pregnant with my twins and I was rolling up to maternity leave and they tried to finish me a few weeks before I was entitled. I was 21 and young and naive and they did just that! There was no union and I was new to the company. They tried to say they had recieved complaints but upon my asking why and who they did not tell me and therefore I was finished and done with and of course not entitled. They thought I had planned my pregnancy and got the job to just get my entitlement. When the truth was that I had actually gone for the interview 2 months previous when I WAS NOT pregnant and when I started the job I found out a few weeks into the job I was. Of course I kept it quiet. It is life. I told them after 12 weeks though! But what they did was wrong. Now you telling me this has touched a nerve and makes my blood boil and reminds me what happened to me all those years ago!

And now I hear this after all the hard work you put in just makes me so angry!

RANT OVER! grrrrrrrrr

Thats why I love working for myself and hate how employers treat people nowadays! makes me want to swear but I cant on here lol

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh bless you hon but I can def see where you are coming from having been there yourself. It does make me wonder if this has all been planned around my Maternity Leave but thankfully I do have a good union so fxed I will get what am entitled to through them

My Mat pay will run to Nov but will be sort of a good pay because I will get any redundancy pay and hol pay in that wage so it will mean I am able to enjoy christmas at home with my boys as planned however from Oct onwards I will have to look for a new job and of course except it if something comes up so that may mean starting work straight away and therefore no christmas at home as planned. I know it will all work out for the best either way and maybe just maybe its all happened for a good reason!

 

[MissyMooMoo]

Yes you are right. There is always a reason for things happening and I am a great believer in fate. I think that you should look at this as a blessing in disguise. Good times are planned and on the horizon!!!

 

[WhisperOfHope]

hey my lovely ladies how are we all today? im really crampy and sore boobed lol can any of you see my siggy? just checking its working lol

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I agree hon everything happens for a reason and tbh I am now thinking that since I switched positions in the place since April it was a mistake. I have lots of knowledge now though and have another knotch under my belt so to speak plus certificates from courses I have attended paid for by them So it will broaden where I can look for another job I havent lost out on anything I have gained so much and this I can take forward and at the end of the day its there loss cause am one of the most hardworking employees in that place....at least I actually do some work and not just toss it off!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

yes hon your siggy is working now....its wasnt last night though

 

[WhisperOfHope]
