i worked for same employer for 8 years and recently experienced some anti- discriminatory behaviour and some of it came from the HR manager, I have been signed off with depression since september and dont think i can go back to the harrassment i experienced. the company i work for is a major oil company in the city and now Ive wrote to them to tell them im enlisting the assistance of ACAS to lodge a complaint, Im hoping the settle before any form of arbitration, has anyone any experience or advice on this subject. thanks in advance?

|
|
By:
is it becoz you is black?
|
|
By:
yes they will just sack you now,playing that old chesnut imo
|
|
By:
I presume they wanted you out for not understanding the basics of full stops and capital letters.
|

By:
Youre not doing too badly if youve been off since September with hurt feelings, go for it I say.
You only get one chance before they suss you out. |

if you have been of for 4 months they would have filled your postion already
|
|
By:
talk to the HR manager, she will know the drill, and give you a platform to address your concerns. Can be a slippery slope but I wish you the best of luck

Pull yourself together man. Or leave the country.

I presume you are not in a union?

I'm pretty sure ACAS won't be interested if you've experienced anti-discriminatory behaviour. :) |
|
By:
If you contact ACAS they will advise you, but they arent lawyers and they can and do give poor advice.
If you go straight to an industrial tribunal, ACAS sometimes step in and try to sort it out between you and your employer before the case is heard. |
|
By:
I'd recommend asking people like ACAS (I think they can advise if you have a good case) and a TU rep, rather than people on here.
|
|
By:
Apart from the fact that I hope you weren't employed in a secretarial position what exactly is anti-discrimination.
Is this the opposite of discrimination? If so what are you complaining about? |

thanks ten2flower, i knew before i asked but you always hope one person might be helpful :0 Then why bother asking? Can you expand on the nature of the 'discrimination' ? |

By:

Give us some more details on the discrimination you suffered and someone may be able to offer advice. Unfortunetly you'l get some on here just assuming your claiming falsely unless you give the grounds for your compliant. |
|
By:
fair point, i did mention i have fair grounds but i dont think anyone on here is sympathetic so im not going to disguss it anymore
|
|
By:
yes enough of your whinging
|
|
By:
i agree with madsimon
|
|
By:
"disguss" ? FFS what job did you do?
|
|
By:
Is that a job? Whats the pay like?
|
|
By:
payes well - but sole destroying imo
|
|
By:
too many playing this card, no wonder the countrys in a state
|

im sure most of you idiots are white straight christian men

By:
Many years ago I got myself signed off for depression. I was swinging it because I hated the job. They sacked me after a month. I thought I'd done well.
|
|
By:
Toughen up, get back to work and be glad you've got a job. The world isn't fair and never will be.
Compo culture isn't the answer. |
|
By:
I've been covering for work colleagues who are depressed, stressed, dropping yet another kid, constantly ill or just plain work shy for about 10 years now so you're not going to get any sympathy from me either.
If you can't hack it, stop crying about it and bloody leave. It's not as if you've been defusing IED's in Afghanistan ffs. |
|
By:
please dont EVER accuse me of being ''christian'' - that's DEEPLY offensive to Ifor!

|
|
By:
I'm hurt by that too. I think I'll sue betfair for the distress that has caused me
|
|
By:
I'll SUE

This sounds like a job in the public sector. Which other employer would stand for 5 months on the sick with depression?
