What happend fella? working or walking?
Clearly he no longer has access to the internet !
Hope he comes back with good news
Been on my mind all day this. Hope he's alright!
proper rooting for him.. give as good as you get.. and give it with a smile!
Horrible situation and I notice they sent you the details on a Friday when you weren't around so you'd pick it up at the weekend thus ruining that for you.
I know its difficult and you are fearing what is coming up and how you're going to cope, but having been through this myself i would say only this:
One door shuts, another one opens.
Things happen for a reason.
You'll look back on this as just a bad chapter and soon forget about it. Just stay positive and don't blame yourself....it probably would have happened to anyone who took that job!
I was in this situation around a year who, had been with the company 11months. I got dismissed on a Friday afternoon, and by the following Friday had a job offer with my old firm. Just goes to show it can't hurt to ask if there are any positions. I had to do a bit of padding around why i left in the 1st instance, but they took me back.
Hope it doesn't come to it though and good luck
Not read all the thread/comments but the main thing is your family, you have them to support you no matter what happens and there is always a way forward, try not worry too much, something will turn up, it always does!
Good luck!
If he'd been binned, he'd be at home on the internet, I assume. So the fact that he's not on would suggest he's still in employment.
Or, he's still in the meeting having a shouting match.
Or, he's been binned and is now in the pub getting hammered.
Or, he lost it in the meeting and attacked the staff, and is now in a cell.
Or, he's made his way onto the roof of a neighbouring building with a bargain bucket, bottle of white lightning and a sniper rifle.
or he has been sacked and is now out on his bike!!
I'll go with Muppetwrangler......sounds the most likely outcome!
Been made redundent 2 times in my working life, first time was hard, 2nd time not so, now work for myself and have done for the last 20 years and would not change a thing, it can be tough looking for new work, but things always work out, and Im my own boss and asnswer to NOBODY, (apart from HMRC) lol.
My advice, dont stress over it, from what you wrote you are not happy there, this maybe what you need to move onto better things 😉
So how did you get on ?
stw needs closure!
If it's what he thought then thre's probably more pressing matters on his mind right now.
What if he's an assassin, and he's failed to meet his kill target, and the only way to deal with failed assassins is to make them disappear? D:
Mrs toast has a point
It doesn't look like good news for the OP.
As many have stated on here, it may not seem it but it could be the start of something much better for you and your loved ones. Chin up and tomorrows another day.
Agree
Use it as an opportunity Mog. I know its hard but i was sacked and then made redundant some time later and both were the best things to happen to me (however it was hard to comprehend it at the time).
Keep your head up, enjoy yourself and just thnk what you really want to do and how you are going to acheive it.
Making money isnt that hard when you dont have to go to work everyday if you have your head screwed on
Keeping fingers crossed you get a reasonable outcome Mog, fingers are crossed here.
To Mog.
Hope the radio silence isn't an indication of your fears.
Fingers crossed for you.
they may have took his company laptop off him.
or....

*checks news reports*
OK, so back home and had some tea, kids cuddled and in bed.
It was as I feared, however, I went in early and did a bit of prep work just to be on the safe side. Sort of on the offensive but in a professional way.
Accusation 1 - outstanding admin submissions.
Evidence 1 - batch headers showing my team had submitted (our bit) but admin hadn't input (not our bit) passed to line manager calmly and politely.
Accusation 2 - missed targets.
Evidence 2 - performance broken down per head in my team to demonstrate that if I had 4 more 'heads', as I'd been requesting, the targets would have been hit. (actual x 4 = as near as dammit)
Accusation 3 - no staff development.
Evidence 3 - emails sent to local colleges requesting enrolment dates for specific courses for specific staff.
New Accusation 4 - I'm not authorised to enrol staff on external (cost) courses without telling anyone - how would line manager know I'd done that if I didn't tell them?
Evidence 4 - Fair enough, I'll take that feedback on board, thank-you, can I leave the training requests with you to advise on appropriate development?
Line manager and other manager seemed to flap a bit and really made me feel uneasy in terms of giving me the 'you think you're being smart do you?' looks. Break in proceedings while HR were contacted (no HR present). The result is a 3 month extension to probation rather than successful probation which shows me that I can do no right there, but pays my mortgage for 3 more months while I leave under my own steam rather than theirs.
So all in all, more good than bad.
I would like to genuinely thank everyone for their advice, I actually used a lot of it in the meeting. Really, really appreciate it - thank you. I think their minds were set to dismiss me until I forced them to ring HR due to the supporting evidence.
Now I'm going to bed and hopefully getting some kip.
Cheers.
that sounds like a good result. you now have 3 months to find a new job.
Well done, an excellent performance - you should have no trouble getting another job!
Good news and pleased to hear. You know what to do in the next 3 months!
Good effort man, horrible situation, well done for not buckling.
Good luck with your excape route.
Well handled mate
...get looking ASAP 3 months will go very quickly you have some breathing space so use it wisely
Great news and be sure to have in writing what they expect to see improved in those three months and what support they will give you to achieve the targets .
Glad you have a breather to find an alternative.
Hadn't looked at this until now, but...
WIN! Good for you, Mog, good for you!
Now, get out. Fast. What do you do/sell? Wonder if someone here knows someone etc...
Great news now make sure you tell them to stick it in the next 3 months and give them f all notice.
Now you've dealt with it in a grown up way....get signed off on the sick for 3 months due to 'stress' and go riding 😀
Well done - don't let them grind you down and good luck! 😀
Good work Mog! Now time to review your options and progress the ones you really want to. Hope you can res a little easier tonight.
Jay
Chapeau 🙂
Theses are some of the best bits of this forum. Good advice freely given ( with a bit of banter thrown in ) that helped you in a stressful time.
Good job staying calm and focused and being well prepped for the meeting, sounds like it would be best option to start the job hunt now and good luck.
Your a star for that meeting
Best of luck for the future!!
