The company woudn't have a leg to stand on if OP wasn't being treated correctly and her mental health was suffering.

Hoping you don’t need a glowing reference for the future!

Genegeniehunt · 03/12/2024 15:57

@NewBootsWeather great username.

My mental health is fine unless you take a minor low alcohol wine consumption into consideration

@NonPlayerCharacter YES that's why I'm posting HERE

No idea what the emphasis is for but let's play on a cold Tuesday

No idea what the emphasis is for

Mmm hm. Don't worry about it. Rustle up some more messages.

Glad to hear it. I'm with you on the low alochol consumption 😊

ohyesido · 03/12/2024 16:01

@LigamentBandy don't be, I'm way past that stage

Do you want a reference?

MarmaladeSideDown · 03/12/2024 16:02

So many people with a sense of humour bypass this afternoon.

ohyesido · 03/12/2024 16:02

Honestly this is giving me the will to carry on trucking. Stay cute everyone

Even more so now. I think I understand when ppl say they have " the ick"

ohyesido · 03/12/2024 16:07

@LigamentBandy I'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe try sue Barefoot pink moscato that usually deals with it until tomorrow

@ohyesido that would never be my wine of choice but ok , you do you.

Always28 · 03/12/2024 16:10

🤣🤣 have you had a reply yet?

Maybe they’re not replying because they’ve gone to buy some chips 🤔

ohyesido · 03/12/2024 16:12

He won't reply, he'll simply "refuse to engage" and give me an extra pep tablet in the Christmas pudding

The message is giving me The Office UK or American vibes.

Maybe I'm just immature, I read it out to my colleague who did think it was funny too.

Anotherworrier · 03/12/2024 16:13

No ones going to take that seriously

PinkertonRab · 03/12/2024 16:14

Anyone saying ‘roles are made redundant, not people’ are so far from the real world. Of course, in principle, that’s what happens but so many companies orchestrate a redundancy if it’s the quickest way to get rid of someone.

And once someone is told they’re redundant, it’s unusual to expect them to carry on working their hardest. That’s what gardening leave is for.

OP won’t get sacked for this. They’ll no doubt roll their eyes and count down the days til she goes.

HelpMeGetThrough · 03/12/2024 16:16

Carry on like that and you'll be certainly going, minus the redundancy package.

blackpear · 03/12/2024 16:18

Crikey. What should happen is that he should call you in and ask you if you are OK.

MissMoneyFairy · 03/12/2024 16:20

Any response to your text yet?

Ohnobackagain · 03/12/2024 16:25

@ohyesido if you’re rude or abusive then it could be considered as misconduct or even gross misconduct. If not resolved, you won’t get redundancy then - more likely dismissal and no reference.

YorkshireIndie · 03/12/2024 16:30

Yes being made redundant isn't fun but you do not know if your manager is going through the same. I get that you want to push boundaries but you also will want to leave on good terms. What happens if you need a reference?
