Enjoy the kids and the lattes in the mean time.

thanks just hope i get another job but not in finance unless im helping npt ruining lives

I think you should be proud of leaving on principle. Realistically, there aren't that many commercial enterprises that are 100% squeaky clean, but good for you for having principles. I'm sure you'll find something else - especially since you haven't made a habit of walking out.

They do have to give you a reference. And it would be very, very stupid of them to say anything potentially damaging - you could take them to court for making any assertions that aren't strictly factual (so, they could say you walked out without giving notice, but not slag you off or claim you were a terrible employee).

Suggest you write to them confirming you have left their employment and why and politely state that you are sure they are aware of their legal obligations with regard to references.

Leave it a week and then get a friend to call them up posing as a potential employer to find out what they say.

good for you

Worth checking out the Department of Trade and Industry website, has all the employment law stuff on it and will tell you what references can and can't say. Think it's called Tiger but if you google the department they have a link to it on their main site.

i kind of know what you mean, though only worked in a sport shop were we got pressured to sell store cards evryday, with the highest interest!!

the people we were signing up were on low income, already in debt and we used to all feel bad1!! the bank charges were a rip off as well and these people never understood what they were signing up for.

some poeple who were selling the card used to give the wrong information and people used the card thinking it was a loyalty card only to realise once they recieved the bill that it was an actual credit card!!

Exactly u know it dawned on me last week when i went to my bank for a review and thought gosh how much people end up paying on loans and then theres me being told i must con well apparently 'help' sort out others finances by giving them 33 % to eanr huge bonuses but then again did i want this in view of fact today society is getting heavily into debt and there;s me adding to it ,,,i know it takes two as the person is coming in the office but its trust my customers trust me so how can i con them to get that big house i dremed of for my girls ,,,no way I am gono try my hand at sumthing else maybe driving or maybe a hotel manager or even go the whole opposite way and become a stripper joke

IF U GET A CALL ASKING U TO HELP SIMPLIFY YOUR FINANCES FROM BEHEFICIAL FINANCE TELL THEM WHERE TO STXX IT

SORRY BENEFICIAL FINANCE

so what are you going to do? whats your dh syaing?

Stars, maybe you should contact your local Citizen's Advice Bureau and see if they have any jobs going? Don't know if you've done office work, but given your experience, it might be interesting to work somewhere helping people who have got into debt.

I AM TRAINING ON SIDE TO BE DRIVING INSTRUCTOR GUESS I WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT AND TEMP ON SIDE AND MOST IMPORTANT TAKE GIRLS TO SCHOOL PARK AND OTHER STUFF MUMMIES DO ,,I GUESS JUST HOPE FINANCES WORK OUT AS WELL

yEH i THOUGHT ABT THAT TOO MAYBE GIVING YOUNGSTERS ADVICE ON CREDIT RATING ETC AND HOW CREDIT CAN AFFECT YOUR WHOLE LIFE,,,I MIGHT DO THAT ,,,,I FEEL GOOD HELPING RATHER THAN RUNING ,,IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN I DNT KNOW U KNOW IF I HADNT WALKED I NEVER WOULD HAVE EVERYTIME I TREID TO RESIGN MY MANAGER KEP DSAYING OH U ARE TOO GOOD AND WILL BE A TOP EARNER OF OUR BRANCH IN END I JUST GOT UP AND WALKED,,,

Take the caps lock off so you are not SHOUTING .

oh sorry im typing in dark as 3 yr old sleep next to me

Once there was an old lady whose son had put her house on a secured loan without her knowing and my work wanted me to ask her to pay the debts now he was in prison I had to spk to her in spanish as she didnt understand gosh she was 80 odd I told her to go home not to worry as legally this co could not do anything to her and she smiled You know my manager had oput fright of god into her by saying the house would be repossessed but i told her the truth because she had not signed the contract and the house was in her name they could xxx run for it I felt happy that day

Starsq, you should be working for an ethical financial company. Look some up and ask them for a job - there are more and more springing up. Walking out of your old job because you couldn't compromise your principles any longer would be a good move in their eyes.

Good for you!

I once went to an interview there and as soon they asked me if I was planning on having kids in the near future I realised I didn't want the job! I bet they didn't ask that question to the men.

Report the fuckers to the FSA while you're about it.

If you think the law has been broken you can report that and keep your job. If they ask you to leave then you can bring a claim under the Pubilc Interest Disclosure Act which protects whistleblowers.
Have you actually resigned?
May not be wise to give company names here though. Your employers might read it.
