EEVILMURRAY Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 In theory wouldn't it be whoever Rez was filming who was damaging the company, albeit there is the fanning flames perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Aye fixed everything everyone mentioned before sending. Wait, what did the film actually have to do with the company?

I know how management can just talk you into submission with all the right words and make you feel like a damn twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I just don't see that a contract would say, "Pay may be affected by warnings given out." Despite what you've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I just don't see that a contract would say, "Pay may be affected by warnings given out." Despite what you've done. They can put you on disciplinary which affects (or completely remove) pay rises. Pretty common practice among big companies. I'm not sure about inflation rises but most definitely perf payrises. We don't get a payrise if we don't meet certain criteria within a pace of time in our performance reviews. You have to better yourself in and out of work. It's like being back in those career lessons in school! See kids this is what real life is all about *dies* But in all seriousness - I wanted to appeal my banding process in work and was "recommended" not to. Which means I get less of a payrise, and potentially a PAY CUT in 3 years o_o So I can understand your situation. Pretty fucking balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 *Sigh* So now Ive got a meeting about the appeal. Cripes, I just want it to all be over now. Advice: Take a notepad in with you and have some key points you want to mention (it will be in your appeal but there are always things you may forget/remember.) Also, you are allowed to take someone in with you. And you are allowed to take notes. If nothing in your appeal works, go with the: "I'm depressed about it as I feel like I'm being forced into not doing well as I wont get bonus' and I'm a naturally hard grafter" stance. If they dont give a shit go on the sick (claim depression to your doc) until you find a better job. Better still, if the doc gives you depression tablets...sell them. Best of luck. They are practically forcing you out. Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Cheers dude, thanks for the help. Ill definitely need notes. Not sure who to take in with me yet...friend or someone else. Hmmm. We'll see. They've blown it all out of proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 If your immediate manager is a decent person and not the one who is going to be involved in the hearing they are the best person to ask really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Man, loads of people do stupid stuff at work and get away with it. I don't know how many videos there are on YouTube of my place; the managers just find it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Okay, that was the appeal meeting and thus ends the last proper part of this whole saga. I will hear that they've rejected my appeal (assumably) within 14 days, and then I decide.... SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navarre Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Good grammar, accurate spelling... a reasonable letter. In my opinion, the consequences they have given you are too harsh. I don't mean to cite references to a 50 year old novel, but, well... this does slightly resemble a society with the Thought Police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Okay, I heard back today. I thought there were 2 highly likely options (Either nothing, or they'd hold my bonus but allow me a pay rise) And the second option occured, so they said no bonus, but they have allowed me a pay rise. And now I make a big decision. Hmmmm. Are all full time jobs meant to be shit and depressing, or should I look for another one and see if thats shit and depressing?

MoogleViper Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 What about working part time and being a hooker on the side? How well can you blow? Seriously though a job is supposed to allow you to live your life comfortably. It's not going to be a bunch of roses, but you should still enjoy it to a certain degree. If the pay is good and you don't think you can get a better paid job then stick it out for a while until you decide what to do. If you can get better or just as good then have a look round. Besides you're still young, hip and sexy. You don't have to make a decision that will affect your entire life. Take things a slowly and work out what you want in the longer run.
