to think that my ex colleague is being a cheeky fucker?

[Iris65]

Short version I was made redundant mainly due to my ex colleague refusing to share our workload more equitably - she would have stayed fulltime I would have reduced hours to 0.25. Instead she took on the whole of my role when she could easily have carried on with what she had.
I got an email from her today (four months after my redundancy notice) asking for information which will take several hours for me to put together and that she could have asked for when I was still employed!
AIBU to feel that she is being a right cheeky and insensitve cow?

Reply, copying in her manager and HR, stating that you no longer work for xx company and you do not appreciate being asked to do her job for her in light of this. However, should the company wish to enter negotiations for your return you would be willing to consider this with a 20% payrise and some extra holiday days

Ostrich - that is inspired!

I have no imagination and would have just told her to fuck off.

Great post from @AmIAWeed.

I was a key holder of a warehouse which I then got made redundant from. A few month after I left I got a call from the alarm monitoring company to say the fire alarm had gone off. I told them I hope the fucking place burns down

Fatguy - I think you are the other half of my soul!

Schadenfreude I 100% disagree and have to call you out on I have no imagination and would have told her to fuck off.
How is Vlad btw?

Some great measured and intelligent response ideas on here, I'd tell the cheeky cow to fuck right off but I'm classy like that.

It may be worth forwarding the email to HR and a Manager, do not CC her in.
Say you have been asked by X to do some work, and whilst you'd be delighted to undertake some consultancy work as you haven't yet found employment you need to ensure there is no conflict of interest within your redundancy package that would prevent you from working for them again.
This means that:
1 If she does walk they know you are available
2 She thinks you've ignored her - Management know you have not
3 If you're made redundant it's because the job no longer exists. They could be breaching employment law if they hire you back as a consultant as you could argue the job still exists.

This! :)

UNSUBSCRIBE Genius.

I did make sure that I got an agreed reference as part of the settlement.
My colleague isn't at all incompetent. She's actually very good at her job and getting things done the most effective way.

She actually told me at one point that she 'envied me' as my redundancy meant a new start. I wish I'd replied 'Well you volunteer then!' instead of hiding in the toilets to cry.

What a ridiculous person she is. Echoing all the people suggesting calm and measured responses. I am not sure I would be able to resist CC'ing the manager in though. It is fucking cheeky to be asking for any kind of help under these circumstances, regardless of her part in your redundancy.

Also, to everyone pointing out that employers can't give bad references if they're not true. Sure, that's the case. Good luck proving that's why you're not getting the jobs without a lengthy civil legal case/employment tribunal.

Email back: "Lol."

My husband went for an interview not to long ago, it happened to be one of our neighbours on the panel. Husband did not get the job but the day after neighbour knocked on the door to ask if he could use husbands interview presentation to train other staff
He got told to jog on

I would not feel any obligation whatsoever to help your ex-colleague, if I were you, @Iris65 - she is definitely a cheeky fucker!

Whilst I would be tempted to cc in her boss and HR department, I think it is probably more professional to send a polite refusal, along the lines that other posters have suggested - but retain the option to escalate things if she doesn't take No for an answer.

OP - if you do decide to respond, please do what IAmAWeed has suggested. It's perfectly reasonable to respond in this way. I don't think you need to respond to the CF Colleague in the meantime though.

YANBU to not help. If you drove a bus and were made redundant would you pop back to drive a couple of routes because your colleague was busy? If you had worked in a supermarket would you pop on a checkout because there were long queues? If you wanted to, then fine, but you shouldn't feel obliged to.

Vlad and Vanka are very involved with North Korea at the moment.

Vlad has a lot of world-stage posturing to do, and Vanka is sustaining him with beetroot paella whilst simultaneously struggling to prevent Irina from ousting him as Vlad's BFF. Vlad doesn't even know that Irina exists, but she has become bolder and Vanka now realises that he has a Deadly Rival for Vlad - one who has the advantage of silicone boobies and some girly downstairs bits that Vlad likes but Vanka can't supply.

A Rival Who Will Stop At Nothing . . .

AmIAWeed nailed it

Just wondering if you decided to respond @Iris65 and if you did what did you say?

Bloody hell OP. The cheeky cow! 🐮 Do what glen advised.

I did reply in a friendly way asking why she had contacted me when I am no longer employed.
I haven't had a reply.
