As promised! Second thread.

First thread is here... If you've got a spare day.

That's a brilliant step forward for you op. At long last! Well done for pursuing this.

I would like to see this manager have to say a squirming apology to you, frankly, and maybe some retraining Wink

CottonSock · 10/11/2023 13:30

Well done on winning this part of the fight.

CwmYoy · 10/11/2023 13:35

Wonderful update

Batferg · 10/11/2023 13:47

Thank you so much everyone. The compensation is low and the letter talks very much about LM’s passive shiteness “overlooked” “misinterpreted”, that sort of thing when he was actually malicious and belligerent.

However, as pp said, I no longer work there. I have moved on and away and I don’t know if I have the energy to challenge/appeal it after so long. I will sleep on it over the weekend.

notapizzaeater · 10/11/2023 15:05

Glad they've admitted he's wrong and you did nothing wrong, shame it took them soooooo long to get to this point.

jay55 · 10/11/2023 15:52

Good gravy that took forever. Glad they admitted it was rubbish.

Sisterpita · 10/11/2023 16:10

I’ve NC too but have been following from the start, really glad your grievance was upheld.

PersilPower · 10/11/2023 16:16

@Batferg so pleased for you. Has your professional reputation been damaged or maligned to the extent it’s still impactful? If you can bear more battle, I’d suggest further legal advice. What an utter git that LM was!

ConstitutionHill · 10/11/2023 17:13

Well done for seeing it through! X

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 10/11/2023 21:20

Omg bloody well done for seeing it through.

theconfidenceofTrish · 10/11/2023 21:34

Your resilience is to be admired Op - really well done for seeing it through. Did they acknowledge how long it has taken? Did they actually apologise or just say grievance upheld?

They apologised for the delay. The rest of it was pretty much keeping that sexist arse happy whilst telling me it’s bullshit. They also apologised for the effect it had on my mental health. I have a case with a solicitor to look at the effect of it as I’m still taking medication for the anxiety that was diagnosed about a week after I first posted!

Winningatseesaw · 10/11/2023 22:31

Am so pleased to hear of your update. Well done for keeping going on it.

Update

Sorry for the paucity of updates. I have been off social media for a while. I received a response to my grievance yesterday! They entirely upheld my complaint and agreed (essentially) it was a load of bullshit. I have been offered a small amount of compensation. And twat of a boss essentially just gets to read that he was a twat.

So I am considering my options!

Thank you all so much for hanging on.

You need a large amount of compensation.

you are an inspiration. 💐

Needapadlockonmyfridge · 11/11/2023 03:55

That's such a good update. Well, not the compensation part (get your solicitor to sort that one!). So glad you have been able to get past it. I admire your tenacity. I think many would have given in a long time ago.

How is he even still working there?!

You deserve a 2 week holiday to some sort of deserted island where you are waited on hand and foot. Congratulations OP.

Maybe time for a new adventure job wise?

Good luck! X

eurochick · 11/11/2023 06:49

Oh my goodness. What a ridiculous saga! Two and a half years spent dithering with this nonsense and putting you through hell. What an absolute shower!

fivetriangulartrees · 11/11/2023 07:51

I've been following from the start and am in awe of your resilience. xx

rightyletsmove · 12/11/2023 13:45

Thank god! Take them to the cleaners OP. Surely know they've admitted wrongdoing more can be done?

Fingers crossed for the solicitors

billy1966 · 12/11/2023 14:16

Unfortunately a financial payout is all most organisations really pay attention to.

Well done for hanging in there for so long.

Wishing you well in whatever you decide.

It's perfectly ok to just want this chapter in your life closed.

Oblomov23 · 18/11/2023 23:09

Pleased to see your update OP.

Candleabra · 19/11/2023 09:14

Pleased to see your update too. And definitely press on for better compensation. Well done

Wheresthebeach · 05/12/2023 23:15

Well done - what an awful saga. Hope your solicitor fights for more - you deserve a good amount for what you’ve been through

Stickortwigs · 08/05/2025 15:21

I know it’s almost 2 years ago (how did that happen? 😅) but I just thought about you @Bearyhumcrack and wondered if there was ever a happy ending to this and you managed to resolve it?

fruitandvegoverload · 08/05/2025 15:28

Aw, saw this in my 'Watching' and thought it was an update! Hope you got a satisfying outcome OP.
