I lost my job last year as my boss didn't like having a woman in my team. I returned to work when my child was 10 wks old and he made my life as difficult as possible from there on in. I was told before I was "made redundant" that I'd be out because he hated me.
Since then I have struggled to find work. I was temping and became pregnant. I had no maternity rights and was forced to have a termination. This was particularly hard as I struggled and had to have treatment to have my children. I just had no alternative as I couldn't afford to not work as I would lose my home.
A few weeks later, I got an offer of a permanent job which I am now working in.
Over a year on and just a month from tribunal the company are trying to make me accept a paltry settlement to keep me from going to the tribunal and are threatening me they will pursue me for costs.
I am in a mess about what I had to do, I am in tears in the toilets at work daily and every time I look at my children I feel angry and devastated by what's happened. They can't possibly compensate me for what they've done to me. What do I do? Please help me, I have noone to talk to about this and I am struggling to cope .
