Yea whingey old me again! I know i vowed not to whinge anymore but i'm just so low and teary today.
Dp has been having the worst time possible at work this year. He is an Area Manger/Supervisor and works below three directors. Basically one of them was demoted (although no-one knows this..and know the other two have started to 'pick' on dp. I left a farily good job in June this year as they asked dp to change his hours and they would put him on a much better salary. After months of asking for this to be put into action so he wasnt working every hour god sent, it didnt come to fruition and they denied all knowledge about it. Then his female director started to slash his wages for no reason, with no explanation. It took three months for them to admit they had done it, then blatantly lied saying it's because he hasn't done the work (when they know he has etc). So his wages since sept have been about £1000 below what they should of been. Therefore forcing me to go out and get a job. We live in a lovely old farmhouse, middle of fields, no transport links....what dp has always worked hard for. On top of this they have been pushing him out...treating him like a technician, taking his weekend work away form him (which makes his wages up)...have taken all responsibilities off him...but he was advised not to leave as they owe him lots of money and it is constructive dismissal. We have a solicitor in line now...and as from tomorrow she has advised him to resign and all correspondance will go through her...He's been through the grievance prosedure and tey even tried to bully him in one of his meetings and ther HR Manager fo another party of the company sat and let them...then when he was advised to suspend the meeting if it got like that...they sent him a snotty letter syaing HE was out of order and his grievance had failed and he was to carry on doing what he was told...
My mother can no longer look after dd during the week as she lost her weekend job, so has gone back to her old job during the week.
At the moment Mark is on Xmas holidays but should be handing in his notice tomorrow so he can go for constructive dismissal (his solicitor thinks he will get a settlement or win a tribual case no problem at all). Which is great...however my job at argos will not supprt us as i am only receiving what hours they can give me (between 16 and 34)..and the wages are pants and i frigging hate it. PLus as it only started as a xmas temp job they kept a few of us on until the end of Jan so even if i can still keep getting there after 20th Jan i may too be jobless.
Yes okay i could go out and look for another job..but if work pay Mark his month ahead in lieu of notice we have no transport (company car) and no money to buy a car (i knew we should never of sold ours :roll: )....so i cannot get to work. Even if i walked into the village over the main road (which is incredibly dangerous) to catch the bus..it doesn't take me where i'd need to be for most jobs, and i can't afford the bus fare....
Mark is struggling to find anything work wise at all at the moment......okay so we could move, but he then needs to look for jobs in other areas which is proving the BIGGEST pain in the arse possible aswell..but we have no money to do that. We are two months behind on the mortgage, have had to have an electric meter fitted as NPOWER are bar stewards and bloody messed up :evil: :evil: ..and to top all that off...on Friday night our central heating went kaput as the oil tank must be leaking...we've no oil left (we opnly put some in at the end of Nov)... :evil: and the heaters we have borrowed off family are costing us the earth in electric tokens.
5 months ago i was full of joy and our outlook was superb....i was soo happy.... how did we get to bloody rock bottom..I have never said i HATED anyone and meant it like i do towards dp's bosses.... :cry: :cry:
I keep trying to think positive.....but NOTHING is coming our way...and today i cannot stop crying.....
God so sorry to bloody rant....
