new life in a few weeks

[Dan and Lynne 0]

i was working, had what i thought was a good job, transporting little darlings to a private school, thought i worked for decent employers, but i thought wrong, ive only two weeks to go until im on the plane to my man and a new life and ive been dumped by my employer...by text! he knew i was leaving, knew when i was due to catch the plane, knew everything as i did, i kept him informed and it seems he couldnt wait to fill my shoes, taking on a friend of his tomorrow, the day i was due to start back at work after the holidays...i am so peeved, i wish i could fly tomorrow but my mum is coming over from france on 7th to see me before i go over to the US. as if all this journey hasnt been bad enough on stress levels i have now two weeks without pay. this sucks, why couldnt he wait two more weeks.

i am only glad i know what lies round the corner for me.

That is awful - some people have no conscience at all!

At least you have something wonderful to look forward to. Good luck with the move.

sorry to hear about that. That is really crappy of them. So far I've been really lucky with understanding employer although they are starting to pressure me for a leaving date. Thinking about just saying end feb and hope interview falls into place and I can leave when I hope to, the week beginging 10th march. I want a couple of weeks to tidy up all the ends.

That really sucks, even though they knew you was leaving they couldnt wait to replace you?

You are right though, in a few short weeks you will be starting your new life.

Best of luck with your move.

thanks,

i needed a little cheering up after getting the text, yup, my replacement is a friend of the boss, she was in for training while i was in london on my interview, so im told...sneaky or what!

one good thing, i know the kids wont like her...apparently she drives too fast...

on with the packing...amazing how much junk accumulates...

Learn from this - never tell employers anymore than they need to know. Give your month's notice and leave it at that. When you work in the US, there are much fewer laws to protect employees than in the UK. Trust no one when it comes to a work environment.

Thats the same boat i'm in - i gave me 4 weeks notice over here and left it at that...didnt give any more details. My last day is the 16th, but i have another job i can work temp if that interview is a little bit after that, just to keep me busy!

Sounds bit like unfair dismissal

even if you don't intend to appeal, you should still send him a letter, it might cause him a few days of stress
