I think I have been clear over the past 12 months plus about my working situation.
I had a meeting with a counterpart who is very close with the big boss and he made some very strange comments about my position within the business.
Basically he ruined my christmas by making me fear for my job.
Now, this sort of weird behaviour where it seems I am being pushed out has continued to the point where I am getting very angry about it - I feel it is intentional. On several occasions this week, I thought about requesting a meeting with the big boss straight up to ask wtf is going on. Just to add, me and the BB have a good working relationship albeit it has been a bit strained recently.
I have had a thought, if this is the case (and I do think it is), is it wise of me to have a discussion and request redundancy and PILON and just move on?
To be honest, life has drastically changed over Xmas and I really considering just packing up and moving away from my current situation. My support system is now non-existent and I just think, I need a break - take the money, get on a plane and calm tf down.
So TWTD, would you just go for it and shoot straight and try and get a payout? Should be another to live off for 5 months as a statutory minimum. [Post edited 10 Jan 16:04]

It was a good outcome at the time but boy has it all hit the preverbal fan.
I have taken onboard every comment on here and incredibly appreciative. I am not going to lie but the last two months have been a workplace nightmare. I have let it bleed into my personal life and I let it nearly take everything away from me; it's too much and it isn't going to change. Tried time off, tried meditation, tried to focus my energy elsewhere but no dice. Just poor management attitudes, no humanisation of colleagues and everyone is miserable.
It's the most toxic environment I have witnessed in the workplace. On two occasions in the past month, I just walked out to either sit in the park or go home to sit in a dark corner. I have documented as much as I possibly can and I have saved all my relevant HR and contractual documents.
So I handed in my notice this week and the clock has started. I don't have a job lined up, I have a small backup to carry me through if I don't get a job before my clock runs out but I have spoken to the people around me and they are all supportive. I am terrified because of a mortgage and responsibilities but I felt free just unloading it and getting the support I need. I can't wait to put this in the past and just shake off this stain of bs. And I can't wait to take something on that is meaningful work again and be passionate and enjoy work.
Sorry, just wanted to relieve myself. Feels so good. It's like just sticking two fingers to people who deserve it. *exhales* I will be seeing what I can do about employment law as maybe I have a case but to be honest, I just want to be free. |
You've done the right thing, so well done.
As regards constructive dismissal, the following suggests you have three months from your resignation date, and they are a well known firm who will hopefully let you know whether or not you have a case.
Assuming you don't want to pay the costs yourself, I might add that these days I think firms such as this will probably only take on a case on a no-win no-fee case if they think you have a good case.
And the other thing to bear in mind is whether pursuing such a case might give you a reputation as a troublesome employee, and might impact on any reference.

I might that there are other such solicitors. [Post edited 16 Mar 8:09]

Another potential source of help is through a legal expenses policy, often available as an add on to household insurance, many cover employment issues. Check your policies.
It has looked to me , from the start, that it would end either with a mutual separation agreement or a constructive dismissal claim.
I went through this 35+ years ago but with a big company who agreed a mutual separation agreement. In my case 9 months salary plus 3 months cash in lieu of notice. ACAS assisted.
Meanwhile don’t put off sorting your finances speak tomorrow to your mortgage supplier and if money is really tight also your energy supplier. You really don’t want to come out of this with a damaged credit rating, |  |
