Quitting a job

[casemx 270]

Good for you - I was about to message you as we have a vacancy (lad been here 6yrs moved up the ranks & now gone off to taste a different industry) but I see you're fixed up. Best of luck in your future endeavours

Hi Spud thanks I ve got a farm manager job day to day management of operations all the best for finding the right person for your job cheers mate

You have no problem,he can't force you to work your notice, and he can't withhold money owed to you. You may technically be in breach of contract, but he could only dismiss you, but he would still owe you for the hours already done. You don't want to work there anyway.
You may have a battle to get the money but it is yours.

Correct. Contractually you are meant to work your notice period, but in reality there is virtually nothing an employer can do to force you to work it or seek damages.

large farm ontop of a hill with a boumatic parlour?

Yes .....but we used a 20/20 herringbone parlour back then . If I remember rightly I was milking 240 cows and it was hard work . Would have been in the 80's .

We put 650 through it would’ve been extended then to a 42:42 then very hard work but I learnt a huge amount from them.

As something of an aside; how long were you at your previous job, why did you leave, and what prompted you to take up employment with the guy depicted as Mr Nasty?

Yes a few years after you mind.

I had a very good working relationship with them and still very friendly with them we left on good terms and I keep in touch with them

 

[Christoph1945]

Redundancy can be a very difficult and unsettling situation to cope with, even when parting takes place amicably and then alternative employment can be little more than a port in a storm. Please don't forget to share your thoughts, doubts, and feelings with those around you.

Stay safe, stay well, and above all be patient; it will all work out.

Water under the bridge now, but others read these threads, so....

In similar circumstances, I'd write a polite factual email stating the position. A wise man once told me, "Never put into writing anything you wouldn't be happy to read out in court".

Next, I would try to research his previous employees in case you need evidence and witnesses of his unreasonable behaviour in the past.

I have to admit to having walked off a few jobs in my time. In the past, it wasn't difficult to walk out of one job and into another in a matter of hours! But it doesn't look good on the cv even if it was justified -- and witnessed with tangible evidence. Folk generally avoid trouble if they have a choice.

Would that have been a certain Mr L?

The other thing that would be wise to take note of would be ..... never send an email whilst drunk or angry; or worse still both drunk and angry.

I must have some part of my brain un-plugged or something but I wouldn't be emailing an employer who had just literally told me to F off in his closing remarks? He has clearly indicated what he wanted you to do, and any sane man would have left the premises in short order in a cloud of dust. What further obligation do you have to the man? Explain it to me?

Bang on!! I wouldn't be raking it over either. Onwards and Upwards.

An Employer employs you they don't own you... I'd have asked why an employee was leaving and if I wanted them to stay I'd make every effort to see what could be done.

If they were determined to leave then best of luck and wish them well.

Move on and forget it , however i would have gone back for 1 more day but apparently the mrs tells me I’m far to confrontational

 

[Skintagain]

I would never give the chap a second thought. If you have lost a weeks wages so what

 

[haybob]

I know of a bloke who got told to "F off" , he took his boss to court for unfair dismissal.
