Sports bar in Poznan, and hopefully doing it during the night too! Come on City!

Interested too, can you send on the PM please?

Sam(antha) from Old(ham). Been on here for years, (long time lurker before signing up). Love the humour, always waiting for a smash the back doors in and set fire to it post and a parody thread...or multiple threads from Thorin and his aliases. Keep it up boys.

Got lucky on the first game and had pic of fans on that pitch after the QPR game!

Hiya, it's all sorted. Had already got my references anyway. Got 2 weeks garden leave before next job :) mate has gone full legal on them and has a strong case. Apparently they've settled out of court with a previous employer. For clever people they really are clueless on many things!

I mean, it's 50% true so wouldn't have been much of a parody really, sorry.

Shame, love the parody threads on here. Always up for some sarcasm etc Thoughts on Duckingfield...none really, although the extra letters in your spelling are bothering me, even though I'm just a lousy secretary. I knew a bloke from Dukky who I saw a few times...you're not him are you...

Oh god no, go for it!

Thank you Pete. Does anything make a difference with me not actually having signed the contract? With regards being treated quite badly, this is in comparison to the other girl who is leaving and who has sent me screenshots of her emails from the manager being most accommodating to her...

The contract states that any costs incurred by staff not working their notice, such as hiring cover, they can claim from me.

Thanks. Our "contract" is SSP only but I have read you are still entitled to one weeks full pay if you're off sick in your notice period. This is all stressing me out slightly and affecting my sleep and I need to go down this route I think. I have really only a couple of weeks to go and do...

Thanks Beer, (and I agree with your name), I'm all set to start a new job, she has provided a "very basic" reference I've been told by the new manager (I made them aware there may be issues getting one). I have been thinking though that I may just need another off them in the future should I...

No, it's definitely accidental. It's hard to hear her and when he moves you can't get hear anything. The recording is spread over their entire evening. They're having private phone calls with other people, slagging friends off etc. They're admitting to each other that they've got to be careful...

She knows, and we all know exactly what they are like anyway, we've found out this past month and we're all now sadly documenting everything. There is another member of staff who they are now sucking up to and who isn't aware of the recording. The company, for such a small business, has had a...

We've only got a few weeks to get through and I have leave to take in that. We've not done anything yet but everything we do will need to go through her. We have no HR department, she has no manager to report to etc.
