Title: I Hate my Job
Post by: Insanity-74 on May 01, 2007, 05:13:40 pm: Final straw at work today...not only did they not give me the pay rise I was promised 7 months ago, they announced today that i was being transfered to *BLEEP*in Wales (no offence anyone from Wales) my new job will be is Trawsfynedd where ever the hell that is......not only that, but I have to start TOMORROW :-\ >:( . so F##k it...anybody with any "planning" connections who knows or any planning type jobs going in the north east / north midlands please let me know as I want to hand my notice in ASAP. I have no idea if i`ll have any internet connections / use so I might not be on here for a while...i also dont know if they will honour my holiday to germany so I might miss that...I stand to miss the Bubble meet, will definately miss Japfest and most probably JAE aswell....so *BLEEP*ed off its untrue.

If anybody gets offered a job with Doosan Babcocks for gods sake dont take it, they are the worst company in the world to work for.

Right i`m off to go and pack and find out where the hell Trawsfynedd is.

Post by: Drfish on May 01, 2007, 05:32:24 pm: Surely there must be some contractual discrepencies here regarding the amount of notice you've been given. I reckon a call to the CAB might be in order mate.

I'm getting somewhere in the region of 5-8 calls a week about planning jobs after putting my CV on Monster.co.uk. If you want direct contacts, I can get a list of agents to you who will have you in a new job quicker than you can blink. Planners are in short supply and big demand, you definately have the upper hand in this situation.
Try http://www.first-careers.co.uk/ (http://www.first-careers.co.uk/) these are my agents. They've got planning jobs all round the country and I reckon they would be able to sort you out pretty quickly!

had a phone call a little earlier to see if i'm looking for work. It's a planning job back in the nuclear industry (where i used to work) and in the north. Do you want me to pass on your e-mail or you can send me your phone no. if you want?

Post by: Chris_de_Bear on May 01, 2007, 10:43:27 pm: Tis just sounds completely out of order to me. I don't see how such short notice can even be legal unles you have a very strange contract of employment. When you do find another job, I believe you would be well within your rights to claim costructive dismissal and get some compensation for this.

Have a browse round this site ...

Good luck with the job hunt.

Post by: ChrisW on May 03, 2007, 12:21:20 pm: It never ceases to amaze me how arrogant some employers can be. Do they assume we will all just bend over and lube up??? The sooner you get yourself out, the better, from reading this mate. Any good solicitor would have a field day with them.

Cheers

Post by: Drfish on May 03, 2007, 12:26:48 pm: Seriously Nial, i'd think long and hard about suing the fukkers for this, it's well out of order.

I checked my contract yesterday for work, because I am expected to work away a fair bit, and even with prior notice, I have to have a minimum of 2 weeks to prepare for working away, unless it's an emergency situation, and then I have to agree to go away.
