He still looks like Paul Kaye to me...Also: TJ for Sea Tramp:
Tomorrow, I am resigning, at the first company away day. We've not been paid since February, told a million and one different things about what's going on, we're all completely flat broke, and expected to not only keep working, but gather in central London for a chat with new bosses about how we can push the company forwards. I have one question and one question only. Where's the fucking money?
I'm going to be doing teacher training in September anyway, so leaving now just gives me time to prepare... but I'd rather not spend the summer taking this shower of toss through the courts to get what I'm owed.
For the record, almost all the staff are doing the same...
Mob justice rules.

They haven't yet... this really is final straw time...I've had to borrow my wife's maternity pay to cover the upcoming bills.
I am less than impressed, and planning to sue them for constructive dismissal.

Can't get it on No Win No Fee as CD is difficult to prove...It's a principle though. As everyone's joining in, it makes for a much stronger case...

Make sure you deal separately with the two...Any back pay they already owe you, irrespective of any circumstances around your departure. Small claims for that. constructive is a bugger to stick - you just need to make sure you have documented evidence for everything about your claim. That could roll on and on...

We thought that...then at the last minute, the company taking over bought the staff contracts and the technology...
Thus, under TUPE, they're obliged to pay us our fucking money. Only they haven't.
The phones have been cut off, biggest clients lost, we've had to fend of bailiffs twice.
This meeting tomorrow is going to be ace.

Sounds like you've been more than tolerant tbh......and small claims court is your friend - it it's under 5k they're into you for then you can do it through small claims which is waaaaaay simpler than anything else.

I piss in your mind.Actually what's the legal position on nicking stuff anyway? Can only certain licence people repossess stuff for money owed, in which case could you just sell your owed wages onto a debtor?

I hate tossing bosses like this...stupid fucks. If they're so incompetent as to be running the company into the ground do the decent thing and either step down or make the staff redundant so they can find other jobs.

Haven't had a pay rise in three years...can't afford that kind of thing.
See also: water. Had our water cooler removed last week as it was deemed surplus to requirements.
That sounds highly dubious though... a £3mill bonus....???
