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

I live an hour the other side of Bendigo, but if I can be of assistance please let me know. I was nearly going to offer some babysitting, but felt a bit strange as you wouldn't know me from a bar of soap.

There is also the option of occasional care too if you like the idea better. I can give you the number of the one I send my kids to (I have family who work next door at the long day care centre, so I know all of the staff really well). Might be good if you are not too sure how long you'll be, and you can always pick up earlier.

My Mum is now coming up next week to babysit.

I feel like I have had enough of work. I worked last Friday, then today (6 days off), and spent the majority of yesterday worrying and stressing over having to go in today. They very clearly don't want me there, and I'm having a hard time getting out from under this bloody cloud that has now settled over me.

Glad you have family support.

How did you go?

He brought a lawyer. Trying to defend his guilt I think! I took the man, yay me! I answered questions the commissioner had about some things that weren't clear to her. His lawyer retorted, and i took notes. I refuted every point she made, many of them lies.
Then we had our private discussions with the commissioner, us first, and they were sent out. And vice versa a few times.

Yes, I cried several times. But. I said Everything I Needed and Wanted to say.

I agreed to nothing I wasn't happy with. I made an offer that they did not agree on, and instead, he said something wrong. We caught him out in a lie. I withdrew my offer, they have until next Wednesday to make an offer, if any, but, if they do agree to what I have offered initially, I am not obligated to take it.

Instead, I feel a court case coming on.

I feel very happy about what I did today. Even though I am going to work tomorrow night, i don't care about him. *I* am right.

Thank you for all encouraging me thus far, and to the Man for coming with me today, ensuring I didn't loose my grip on that big, shiny pair of guns! Xxx

Best thing I have read all day :clap: yay for the man and the guns!

Well done you!! :clap:

Good on you. What a great role model for your kids - standing up for yourself when others are doing the wrong thing. I obviously hope this is resolved to your benefit ASAP but keep us posted. Well Done! :)

Yay you! I hope this works out very soon.

What a fantastic update! You're an inspiration and I'm so glad you've found your feet through all this and you're standing strong. Hold your head up high! :clap:

Just brilliant. So proud of how well you did :).

Yay for you! O'm so glad you stood up for yourself and that he was caught out!

That's so excellent!!!! Good on you for standing up for yourself in what would have been a VERY intimidating circumstance!!!!! :hug: you know you're in the right and that's all that matters!!!!!!

I'm so glad you stuck to your guns and pointed out his lies and said what you needed to!!! :hug:


Sent from the land of "iSomethings" so forgive me for any spelking misstaks ;)

Netix, that's wonderful. Well done for standing strong. Keep us updated!

That's fantastic to read, good on you!

Brilliant Netix :clap: :)

So proud of you!

Well done.

Awesome !!!!!!! Proud of you my friend

well done, Netix.

it's really, really hard - but so worth pursuing.

hopefully, his lawyer can talk some sense into him.

:hug:

that is fantastic! so proud & impressed :D

I need to start talking to some legal eagles now, the Man has the perfect nest in mind, so that is my next step. I will keep you all posted with what I can, even though there might be some big lulls if it has to go to court. That is not going to happen before the Squidy arrives. So at least I can stop stressing over it. Paul leaves work for good on 29th Feb, so I only have to put up with him for a short time longer. I do need to find out if I need to resign or not. Xx

I think what you're doing is extraordinary. Go you!

Yay for you! Well done.

wow well done.

Go you!!

xox

:clap: Go you.

Brilliant, brilliant news!!!!!

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

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.

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

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 ;)

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 ;)

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.
