wow – thats a lot of quick feedback, thank you everyone.
This wasnt intended to be a willy-wave and Im not pleading hardship but I am being shoved out of a job I love unfairly.
I do have legal advice, now I have reached this decision with my employer, my legal representation has asked if i want them to handle the negotiations re settlement amount or take care of it myself.
I feel like they probably know better but wanted a second opinion.
My employers are offering to pay legal expenses but capped at a few hundred quid to literally cover the legal checkover of the contract they have provided me with, they wont pay to cover costs associated with a lengthy negotiation.
thanks again for the advice, I think Ill hand it to my lawyer to handle why I go and find a new job……sigh
