So I'm probably being demoted today for being pg...

[leckert]

Well done and keep going. Thanks for keeping us updated. Hope the rest of the issue is solved relatively easily. Start the countdown of not needing to deal with twit boss person.

OMG i could not be more proud of you right now! Well done hun xx

[Netix]

A very brief note. Went to work today, and was told "Apparently you don't work here anymore!".

And if I "am there tomorrow when the boss comes home, there will be trouble". I will not be threatened anymore by this Man, who is turning the other staff against me. In my pregnant state, I will not put my baby in that situation of threat.

Yes, it is still progressing forwards. Just now in a different way.

[lilima]

On what grounds cant you come in? They better be paying you still as you never resigned, and they technically have not terminated your contract! xxx

[Smoke Jaguar]

You. Do. Not. Resign.
If they'd like to dig their grave then they can push you out. You still keep your diary. Do not resign. If you put anything in writing to work, you CC in the commissioner and send a copy. However, the only thing I can see you need to put in is notice of maternity leave. Speak to a lawyer about that. Is the nest Slater and Gordon? They're pretty good with labour laws etc.
Do not resign.
By turning staff against you and by them being stupid enough to say things like that they are falling directly into the 'effective dismissal' camp, for which they will be torn apart, especially as you are pregnant!
This new caper will be interesting to introduce into negotiations next Wednesday, for sure.
I love that your eejit boss not only had to pay for a lawyer (I love this so much, that's satisfaction right there!!) but that he tripped his own stupid feet up on his own lies in front of his lawyer - how good does that feel??
Head down, bum up, chicky - this ones yours

[veus]

Are they seriously so ignorant abt discrimination and unfair dismissal laws?! I'm not in HR or anything remotely close even I understand how stupid their actions are.

Another saying DO NOT RESIGN! You will do yourself no favors (or even the next pg employee)

I did not, and will not resign. As far as i am concerned i am still in their employ. The words i said above are the words said to me by the front office supervisor (re trouble tomorrow).

I am so peeved off. And upset.

And the nest has the same initails as an english car.

That person will probably claim that they heard it from the boss (why else put their own head on the chopping block if it didn't?), so diarise it anyway - it's all ammunition and they are just handing it over to you. Too easy.
In the words of the awesome people who helped me in my case with a man driven by ego, "give him enough rope". Really, he's bringing the rope and giving himself plenty for this metaphoric hanging.

This pretty much says it - give him enough rope ....

He really has NO idea what he's doing, does he?! I almost feel sorry for him.

Almost, but not quite

[Netix]

Sorry, in my peeved off everything state, the english car is wrong.

He has taken all the rope he can. I'm not the person to tell him he's wrong. I just wonder what the legal advice could possibly have been to make him do this. I mean, honestly. I'm no lawyer (obviously), but I like to think I'm a bit of a clever chick, and I really can't think of how this move would be positive. For him. I know its positive for me.

I have just been really sick, I suspect from all this.

[sloane]

i'm glad it's moving forward, but hope you also get a chance to take it easy look after yourself

[Netix]

I now get to take it easy in terms of not having to stress about going to work, and what may happen at work. I now need to concentrate on my next move(s).

[Smoke Jaguar]

Absolutely. You are doing fabulously

[Netix]

I have noted everything down that I could possibly remember. Contemporaneous notes they are called or something like that. The grounds I was asked to leave on was bullying and threats. Threats of what, I do not know, nor was I going to stay and find out. It is just added to my argument. Speaking to Fairwork Aust again yesterday, they said I could lodge a second General Protections complaint against him (because I have been outed for exercising my right to lodge a Fairwork Aust complaint against him), or basically just add it to the first issue since the two issues are interrelated, but to ask my legal team.

I could add it to the first one, which would start to amount to quite a list, but if it was on the second, penalties would be more severe if convicted in court for second and subsequent offences.... For example, if he had done this before and not been convicted, then the penalty wouldn't be very harsh ($ fine wise), but if he has been to court, tried and found guilty before, then the penalties go up.

[SunnyRain]

I just read all of this and I feel sick for you. I was bullied at work once, it had a deep impact on me but I didn't fight it so good on you!


I'm so curious, though, about why you are concerned with keeping a low profile and not letting people know where you live. What's that about?

Hey Netix,

Just wondering how things are going? Hope you're keeping it all together and staying strong.

Thinking of you
