Question

hi my partner will probably get the sack today, he started a new job in august for a big store. hes been basically running the furniture department, the manager of dept walked out but she has 13 weeks to improve, but my partner was given just a week to 'turn the dept around' there isnt enough staff

he's running about doing everything they're really putting him under pressure. giving ridicuolous time constraints to get everything done before the weeks up.he has a meeting today where he thinks they will sack him (the

what should he do? must they then give a weeks notice? my partner does a gr8 job but he cant work miracles, he's being made a scapegoat. theyre keeping a sales *** who got the sack from last job cos he was caught stealin and he threatened a customer (the overall manager thinks the sun shines out his ***) he knows all this too, my partner thinks he'll be made supervisor (he's goin 2b out of job @xmas) :0(
what should he say 2 them 2day/do? his weeks up 2day plz/thanx

Answer 1

Well for sure he has no future there, so the faster he is out of it (with the maximium pay off) the better ...

If they haven't tried to fire him yet, first thing is to join a Union ..

If they have already blamed him and fired him, I suggest a visit to CAB (to find out about unfair dismissal) and then his Doctor (to ask for something for the splitting migraine's caused by the Company he works for ..) ... in fact, he could be so stressed out that he has to phone in sick for the next 6 months whilst finding another job ..
