About to be dumped on (Rant alert)

The P45 issue is confusing me as well.

It was a surprise to me as well as I wasn't resigning from the company, just leaving one unit for another within the same company.

I wonder if some wires have been crossed here? If the person who was dealing with your "resignation" didn't know you had been offered a transfer that could well explain the situation you are now in.

Is it worth a subtle prod, almost a short across their bows.

Write to HR with a copy of the email stating that you have made plans according to their offer of a post in London

Then query if the P45 is an honest mistake.

If it is simply that then you are being reasonable and if not then it lets them know you are unhappy, but without any threats (yet!)

I had this at my last promotion.

I took a 6 month contract at the higher grade whilst the adverts etc went thhrough, then was appointed. Everything went fine, until I got a letter thanking me for my service and how much they regretted my decision not to renew the contract!

Took a few calls to sort, but it was a genuine error

Sent an e-mail to the HR dept and marked as FOA Manager.

Polite e-mail but leaves them in no doubt that I'm unhappy and quite confused over what's going on.

Wait and see what HR say. If you're not happy with the response, tell them you're going to contact someone about Constructive Dismissal since the emails you have received led you to be believe that you would have a job in another city. See this quote; I think point 3 is most relevant:

Constructive dismissal is a form of dismissal. If you resign from your job because of your employer’s behaviour, it may be considered to be constructive dismissal. You would need to show that:

1. Your employer has committed a serious breach of contract
2. You felt forced to leave because of that breach
3. You have not done anything to suggest that you have accepted their breach or a change in employment conditions

There's more info here.

After seven years with a well known mobile phone company, call then lemon, I was made to apply for a new shift pattern under a reorganisation scheme. I couldn't get the one I wanted, mornings so I could ride the long way home. They only offered me late afternoons or evenings. So I resigned. In my last week the training school came round with new recruits to buddy on the phones in order to learn from us experienced types.

I asked the guy I was supposed to buddy what shift he was getting and it was the one I'd wanted. So I refused to buddy him. The reason why he could get the sift I wanted? The would pay him less than 2/3rds of my salary for the same hours.

Big business doesn't give a s**t about customer service, it's all about the bottom line.

Sorry OP you're out!

You don't live or work in Darlington by any chance?

A pal of mine was very upset to have her shifts altered making things difficult for her with a well known mobile phone company based in the town.

A constructive dismissal is a route to take but it is VERY difficult to win.

Let us know what they say Cookie. You deserve much better from them.

I let a friend who studies law look at the e-mail and he, in turn, let one of his professors look at it as well. It was a clear case of constructive dismissal. The professor at Aberdeen, who, of course, is a trained Lawyer, wrote to my employers pointing out the law and what they did to break it.

Cue frantic activity between myself and HR.

Today, got a new job from them, was given first refusal, really good salary and hours. I start Monday.

It's what trades unions used(?) to do.
