If you are having meetings about being lazy and you know they gonna give you the sack later can you quickly hand in your notice??

I got it in my hand now - shall I do it quick before they give it to me or is it too late

Martyn

Until they sack you you could quit at any time.
You wont be able to sign on either way though, so bare that in mind lol

Hrsturbo

You mean passionford?? I always on here and thats why I gonna get sacked
I will use home comp

Martyn

I meant sign on the dole

Hrsturbo

oh Why can't I sign up for that then?? Either way I will have no work so I should be able to shouldn't I??

cossie1

if they sack u then you can sign on I thought ???

If u quit tho then afaik you can't

Martyn

You cant sign on if you walk out of a job (resign) and you cant sign on if you get the sack.
You can sign on as such, but they withhold payments for x amount of time, or give a lower one

you can only sign on the dole if you are sacked, made redundant, etc. You cannot sign on for a few months if you voluntarily quit your job.

Hrsturbo

Thats shit Oh well I will hand it in now cause it better than being sacked for being on passionford

Surely they gave you wirtten warnings etc before now?

I would have deletd Internet Explorer if I got a written warning for browsing PF at work

Hrsturbo

No I had none as such but emails saying all this shit warning me so dunno if that counts

Might format the drive

Martyn

Unless your company classes using the internet as gross misconduct they cant sack you unless you have had the correct amount of verbal and written warnings first

tonyk

It has to be a formal written warning. An email does not constitute this as a written warning must be signed by both parties. Also you could just claim you didnt receive any emails unless you replied to them.

Basically they can't give you the sack, you are more likely to be getting a written warning!

Hrsturbo

Ok so thay can't sack me yet?? I will hand my notice in though cause it a shit job any way

The HR person said she could terminate my contract?? Not sure if she meant after 4 weeks of being watched though Got a meeting later so she won't have much to talk about if I handing my notice in.

K3V HA

My old company Pendragon had it as gross misconduct, a great big fat lezza was on all the lesbo sites lookin at filth and got instant dismissal!

DanRSturbo

Are you in some form of probationary period ? Shit or not, it's better then the rock and roll m8, trust m8

Hrsturbo

Just handed my notice in!! i sort of happy I think the job was shit any way so now I can look for something with better pay, more time on passionford and more fun.

I been there for bout 7 months so they would of had to give me a warning but I am not prepaired to stop going on the internet

Zetec Andy

id piss myself if the meeting was to offer you a promotion

john

You dont have to tell the dole you left on your own accord

I have done this before and when filling the forms out i wrote down contract ended or along them lines.

They never check as far as im aware, well they dont here

Hrsturbo

Nice one- I got till thursday this week They gonna still pay me aprils pay untaxed I said I was unhappy so said I was ok to leave this week and still get paid for my months notice

Stu.H

Personally, I would put a job over a forum anyday.

Maybe need to look at a few priorities mate.

Chipperx2

I second that

Hrsturbo

I love fords and passionford!! A job is a job lol It just brings money in and there are plenty around

Or maybe I'm wrong

A job provides you with the cash to own/run an RS... Doubt I could manage on the dole

Clare

Sounds like you just havn't found a decent job yet, I nearly lost my job 2 years ago due to internet / email abuse, proper cacked myself, was very lucky and got away with a written warning (2 other people got sacked due to the content of their emails).

If you find a job you want to stick with just check the company policy on internet & email use, my Company allow up to 6 personal emails per day and 1 hour personal internet useage during working hours..... it is damn hard to stick to it but not worth loosing my job over.
