All Day in the Hospital

I've just seen this Tony Poor John He certainly DOES NOT deserve this

I hope he does get what he does deserve...and so do the Regional Managers. How ****ty was that

****ing ****s.




Hope he takes them to the cleaners.


Edit: (How did I miss this thread before!?!)

Like PG, HM, only just seen this.! That's dog rough news mate.: Didn't he have the AUEW, or similar at his work place, to fight his corner? Hope it gets sorted proper like, soonest, for him and the family. Totally unfair treatment.:

Gotta' go to get me' latest from the GP, now the cardiologists report has come through, so will pick up some more on this thread later, mate.:

If that's the case, I hope they get run over by a truck, back and forth, a few times.


I have had to let go one person sometime ago but I made sure I found him another position in the firm before telling him he had to go. That's the right thing to do for someone who's spent time and effort in a company.

That's because you have a conscience M

Oh the brief we've hired was amazed at the latest news this will cost them big time now

Hope your solicitor gets 'em good - if he doesn't, we'll "send the boyz round"



How is your son doing now, anyway? Hope the recovery is going well.






Unfortunately, it depends on the terms of their employment. Some companies run a "probation" period, during which the employee can be "let go" with minimum notice.

He was paid 2 weeks money in lieu of notice and his manager gave him a couple of ££££ out of the petty cash because he felt so Schit about having to give him the bullet

Oh we will Nev

@ Jules no he doesn't you saw how well he was coping with the injury when we did the camping trip and he's even better now, this is only a blip for him he's already looking for a new job

A very good friend of mine
completely lot his thumb in a Honda-Pilot
accident the first year of Uni.

They surgically removed his ring finger
and re-attached it where his thumb was.

(I didn't even noticed after working with him
for >1 year )

He used to be quite self concious about it
and when younger, very distressed/angry/ashamed.

But eventually he's accepted what happened
and is able to talk/joke about it.

As ever time heals.

Oh crap, HM - I can't believe the bastards that do this kind of things can stay in business at all.
Hope your brief cleans them proper!

So I guess it's an Industrial Tribunal now then HM? All the best for your son, we'll be rooting for him, for sure regardless.:

Tony, just caught up with this thread mate...thought I was reading about sumthin back in the seventies! Absolutley Gobsmackin!

This type of company behaviour needs to be stamped out.

Keep ya chin up fella...hope your lad is okay and gets sorted quick.

Kev I'm a health and safety manager for a living and I couldn't believe it when we got the call

and it's not a small firm either it's a Very big firm that should be ashamed of themselves

Hey, give him our best wishes Tony

I really hope things work out well.

Thanks Jules

He's not really down about it but I'm gonna make sure he gets a decent pay out

HM I'm sorry and shocked. Like others, I overlooked this thread thinking it had just been bumped.

I'm not very au fait with employment law. I suppose there is a legal implication to sacking someone before the 12 months are up in terms of the protection they'd get.

I can't believe they have been so heartless. Especially as the injury was "their" responsibility in an employment/legalistic sense.

I hope your lawyer rips them to pieces and I hope they get some very bad publicity as a result.

Best wishes to you and your lad and his family.

I'm sorry to read about this HM - however, in my experience these things actually turn out for the better
