I don’t even know what my AIBU is. My head is spinning. I’ve name changed for this because it could be outing.
I’m furious. My DH has worked for the same man for 10 years. He is a highly skilled tradesman (engineer) His bastard boss refused to take him on as an employee even though he wears the uniform, drives a sign written vehicle, works set hours and doesn’t do any other private work. He is essentially an employee without any of the benefits. The bastard boss hides behind the CIS scheme so that he can get all the benefits of having an employee without the faff. My DH hasn’t had a single day of paid holiday or sick leave for nearly 10 years.
Bastard boss comes to the house after work on Friday and announces that he is closing the company and moving overseas in a weeks time. One week!
He has also made it clear that there will be no redundancy pay. He got the work vehicle evaluated and has said my DH can buy it from him. He showed the evaluation to my DH. He is refusing to give him any discount on it. Not a single penny. I’m furious and heartbroken. I don’t know what we’re going to do.
Does anyone have any advice? Is there anything we can actually do? Ten years of loyalty. Ten years!
