    Insidious, indirect bullying still bullying?

    Bullying can be indirect, insidious and psycological, it doesn't have to be physical or verbal; shouting at for example or being belittled. The subtle kind could involve someone in a management position accussing someone junior of racially abusing them or another much as the allegations are...

    Insidious, indirect bullying still bullying?

    Oh well, at least this created quite a response but a lot of you are like our management - proud to think outside the box which in my organisation is interpruted as " Make it look legal, while not actually being so" We have positions which were announced as being redundant as of 31st March and...

    Insidious, indirect bullying still bullying?

    I don't mean to be rude but if you don't mind me saying so he did call me a muppet the other day for not accepting another role which would actually have been a really bad move on my part. I don't personally feel as though a lot of people are thoroughly comprehending what I'm dealing with here...

    Insidious, indirect bullying still bullying?

    That's something I need to find out and wonder myself, personally, I suspect not, much as being given too much to do in a day and having fabricated accusations does constitute a form of bullying but a lot of people don't seem to realise that. For that said, all these things are done verbally and...

    At least I find your answer amusing:) It depends how you look at it; I cause no trouble so long as management operate legally and fairly. Bullying nice people who often do their jobs well gets right on my wit!!!, I'm punctual.Very, very rarely sick and if its manically busy then so am I, I deal...

    Insidious, indirect bullying still bullying?

    I find you a slightly strange character that doesn't always post the most constructive of comments!!! Lets get something straight; I WAS GOING TO BE MADE REDUNDANT AS OF YESTERDAY . . . My last post was indeed CONNECTED and YOU recommended that I accept their trick of an offer to accept...

    Insidious, indirect bullying still bullying?

    OK, going to have to be a little careful here just in case someone from work goes on this site but I've submitted a greivance and an appeal against redundancy, a lot of which is very valid but I got asked a question and that question was, do I feel I'm being bullied and if so then how, and do I...

    Employment Tribunal - do they have a case?

    Were these employees advised in the letters you sent advising them that their positions were redundant from whatever date and that they'd been unsuccessful in applying for the new role or roles, that they had a right to appeal the decision and their redundancy?

    Redundancy for all but some asked to stay on!!!

    A final note for anyone who ever finds this relevant: your employer SHOULD advise you that you have a right to appeal your redundancy in these situations - mine didn't. You should appeal within 14 days of receiving your redundancy letter but it can be longer.My employer held on to our letters...

    Redundancy for all but some asked to stay on!!!

    Thats a better reply mate!!! I agree, having started to job hunt it's becoming fairly obvious that it's much tougher at present than I've ever known it - a lot of jobs are being swamped with applications and you're lucky to get an interview and I work 5 miles from home, dozens of other jobs...

    Redundancy for all but some asked to stay on!!!

    Thankyou sjbeale, constructive advice and that's something I'll look into but we are advised that we can find alternative employment at any point up to 31st June and still get redundancy and to be fair, other departments have been through this and I know of others - some of whom even got the...

    Redundancy for all but some asked to stay on!!!

    I dunno, resign - no disrespect but the work is not compatible, I enjoy what I currently do, I'm good at it and that's half the problem. I deal with issues on a very regular basis and more often than not, come up with a cost effective solution whilst my new boss seems to revel in hiring things...

    Redundancy for all but some asked to stay on!!!

    I'm sorry but if you make a position redundant you can't to my knowledge then recruit someone for six months for that same position - you can't just reinstate it the next day surely??? I feel like I and a few others have been completely conned here - I get a letter saying my job will no longer...

    Redundancy for all but some asked to stay on!!!

    Ok, thanks for your replies but you are missing something and it's this; we both work as transport clerks - thats the job title, and on nights and only the two of us do that shift but they've changed the job titles to Transport Supervisor and everyone had to reapply for the jobs and ok, on days...
