Bob8 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Bleep1673 said: Despite written confirmation, and a payroll number, when I turned up for work yesterday I was told it was a mistake, and I was never down to work at Hastings Delivery Office. When the manager contacted area office, there was no record of me on their system. So I am back to being unemployed. I will be going to take "advice" from the local CAB. That is diabolical.

Bleep1673 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I was talking to someone last night, and she suggested going to Eastbourne, which was where I originally applied for, before being sandbagged into Hastings, and find out if I was expected there.

SSoutherner Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Print of every Email and collect all correspondence - take them with you in a folder. It might make an HR type realise they have c**ked up and sort things out. By the way a verbal offer is as enforceable as a written one it is just harder to prove so any and all correspondence referencing you starting is evidence you had been made an offer of employment.

Bleep1673 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Starting the new year off to a good start. I have a telephone interview this morning, and a face-to-face interview tomorrow, with different people. Update: Got refused telephone interview job because I couldn't supply 5 years worth of references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyXIII Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Sorry, Bleep, but I'm not surprised, given your self-proclaimed arsey attitude. Try putting yourself in the interviewer's shoes.
