Is it easier?

Is it easier to know that an Industrial Tribunal may find against M & D if I decided to go that route? Why would I do it? Because it will put the fear of the God of Estate Agents into D for a start. That seems like a good enough reason. Will it jeopardise what is left of my relationship with M? Probably.

I had a formal meeting with M today to let her know what I had decided to do. No contest, hands up, you got me. I can't fight this, I said to her, and she said, oh it's not a fight, it is what we have had to decide. We thought you could work 3 days a week or even return to 4 or 5. We didn't know it would come to this.

She asked me if I could still work with her on further redundancies. Hey, why not? What do I care? So the next thing I do is type out 3 letters to the 3 secretaries of other offices to say their jobs are on the line too.

I said I could carry on as normal... until I take advice. Because of their meanness, I would have to accept a redundancy package based on the salary I have been on for the past 3 months not the salary I was on previously and considering I have worked for them for over 9 years, that does seem mean. When I started 9 years ago I was on a higher salary than I am now. I think even if an Industrial Tribunal found in neither of our favour, it would cost them more than the £2700 they are trying to do me out of, to defend themselves.

So I see what the Board decides tomorrow. M & D and W to decide and I know the answer already.
