it seems that today you cannot stand up for what is right.

i was a manager for a small manufacturing firm in birmingham, the conditions are quite bad and the place looks like a scrap yard.
fork lift truck drivers dont have a licence and when you complain the attitude from the boss is unbelievable, going on about china, employing immigrants.

anyway over the last few months my motivation really diminished to the point of leaving, anyway ended up on a final warning the rest is history.

thank god the car is paid for, wife is ok also, she has seen the stress i have been under.

Sorry to hear that, but from the sounds of it your better of out of it and starting afresh elsewhere.

Now dob him in to the HSE

[amigov6]

Sadly too often the case nowadays.
    Hope you find suitable employment soon.

Any grounds for unfair dismissal?

it seems that today they think that they can do what they feel like, always somebody to step in for less money

[alan_rose]

i think i sound a little bitter, as for unfair dissmisal, i got that frustrated and lost my temper.

Hey Alan,
 you will look back in a year or so and think "Thank God I did that", I did the same thing just after Xmas, two days later I was in a different job  

[Big_Al]

Been there, it's so frustrating .
Something will turn up though -- think positive

I believe to claim unfair dismissal the relative tribunals need you to have been employed for 2 yrs plus.
    6 yrs. in a Managerial position would give you a strong foothold should you wish to pursue the matter.

did a similer thing last January and lost my temper and got my self the sack - glad i did, new job is sooo much better only regret is i didn't have a real go at the old boss

as long as the missus is ok (mine was 5months pregnant at the time ) i'm sure you're better off out of there, stress like that in a job is no joke.

good luck for the future

yep and she is fantastic and understanding (does this sound gay)
