Will try and keep this brief. I started working for a company early last year. HR on a whole new level of incompetency. In brief the whole set up was a massive tax dodge. I got sacked because I got pregnant, two weeks before my due date. Yep - you think this kind of thing wouldn’t happen in this day and age, or at least not so blatantly - you wouldn’t BELIEVE what these morons put in writing.
ACAS failed as they wouldn’t engage. So I worked for weeks and weeks perfecting a particulars of claim for the tribunal, literally researching every single aspect and all the ways they screwed me and broke the law. Filed it and within two weeks I had a five figure offer, negotiated it upwards, and the payment hit my bank account 3pm today.
After battling PND and just general feeling of absolute shite, AIBU to be so happy to get this “win”, to be able to focus on DS… and maybe book a mini break somewhere hot?
Only regret it that confidentiality agreements mean I can’t really tell anyone in real life so nobody will really find out just how awful this company are.
