Some of you will know that I'm moving south of Hadrian's Wall (much to Noodles disgust 
) to do my Masters at University of London. I know the company I work for have places all over the Uk so, when my place at Uni was confirmed in early July, I contacted the HR Dept and enquired about transferring my job from Aberdeen to London. I was told 'No problem. You've gave us enough notice and it saves us time interviewing for people we don't know. We will have you in place for then'.
About 4 days before I'm going to move, it seems that they are now being more reluctant to transfer me. I have applied for a huge amount of jobs that have been advertised internally without a single reply or acknowledgement. The HR bods were supposed to be matching jobs for me, nope, nothing, not a sausage. No replies to any of my e-mails asking what is going on.
This is about to leave me in the shoot as I need a job. This crowd are about to let me down and not the first employer to do that to me.
WTF is it with companies in the UK these days? They have an employee who works for them and wants to continue working for them and they are quite happy to let that person go. I got my P45 from them on Saturday morning through the post. I don't finish at my place in Aberdeen until Wed. Would they rather take on people who they do not know and who could be useless? I'm getting utterly sick and tired of being shoot on and lied to time and time again. I've yet to meet an honest manager. They say one thing and then, when your back is turned, in goes the knive and it's turned 360 degrees. Then these same bosses complain about the attitude of UK staff!! No bloody surprise.
I cannot wait until 2013 when I finish my course because I'm out of this shoot hole of a country.
*and breathes*
