I've been offered a compromise agreement at work, to leave quietly and say nothing to anyone.
There's been a big management shake up and the new manager doesn't like my part of the company. I am the last one left doing that role. She has made no secret of thinking I, and it, are stupid; and the atmosphere in the office has been awful for the past few weeks as we're at loggerheads a bit and she won't speak to me, but she now sits opposite me.
Solicitor says I could sign, or I could ask for double or treble. If I sign, I'll be okay if I get another job quickly. If I got double, I'd be in a better position. Treble I think is out of the question.
I think I'm leaning towards asking for 80% of double, but I'm not sure. The solicitor can advise me that I have a "good chance" but that's it, and I wouldn't want to go to tribunal if I could help it.
Would you accept, or ask for more?
(NB: I've been to four solicitors now, first two wouldn't agree to it in it's current form, second two encouraged me to ask for more but will agree to it if I'm happy. I can't really afford more legal advice, given that I'm losing my job).
