Well after 16yrs contracting to the same company I was "let go" today due to a back stabbing deceitful work mate. Great. Wouldn't have minded if I'd done something wrong and had been sat down and told face to face but a txt message from the boss? |

Might be the start of something exciting for you pal, 16 yrs is a long time, look at the positives and maybe try something new.
Bitterness won’t effect anyone but yourself.
Good luck  |

Thank you and yes not exactly the way it should have been done! To be honest the whole dynamic of the place has changed dramatically this year so it's probably a good thing in the long run. Being a single dad things might be a bit tight for a whilebut we shall survive. |

I’m a great believer in Karma and I really hope it hits hard.
Hubs was out of work for 8 months and it really affected him/us.
As another poster said it’s lifes way of showing you new opportunities...
Hubs has a fantastic new job now and we are moving to pastures new.
Sending hugs in the meantime though...

Yes I’m aware as an ex purchasing operations and prefect manager it’s not going to be easy, can I ask what you do? |

you know you might be right there maybe it's the start of a new career. I'm more angry and hurt than bitter but that will fade and I can hold my head up as I wasn't part of the deceit and lies! |

I was in the building trade. Bosses friend started with us a few months ago and was assigned to work with me. I was told to treat him like anyone else no free ride, which I did. Last month he asked me if I'd be interested in doing some fiddle work using company materials which I declined as its not on, shortly after his and the bosses attitude changed towards me and today I got the text.... |

Shit situation and I really hope you find something new. In the long term this may turn out to be a bullet dodged - alkthough something you may only come to appreciate fully some time down the road. As others have said, try to steer away from bitterness and resentment or it will only eat you up. Which means it's only you and those closest to you that will suffer. |

Reckon you’ve a case for unfair dismissal there mate, something dodgy about being dismissed via text.
Is it a reasonably big business? Or just a handful of people? |

Try and look at the other side of this. A new chapter to open.
Good luck  chin up. That person who text ain't a boss and they will probably catch some nasty disease as an act of karma |

Just had a call from a mate in another company and they can give me some temporary work so at least the pressure is off a bit and it gives me some breathing space to think about my options! Thank you all for your kind words and support it's truly truly appreciated! |

it is very shitty but the boss is very non confrontational hence the text. No backbone nor moral fibre! X |

When do they pay your final invoice ?
Wait until it's paid and then bubble the pair of them
In the mean time, sort and copy any 'evidence' you have of your theory
Whether anything happens is another matter, but any company worth its salt will, at the very least, investigate |

I'll be paid at the end of the month. I'll be making notes of everything that's gone on just for my own protection. |
