I really could use some advice.

Basically I have been in this new job for the past 3 months and I fuc*ing hate it, whats worse is that my boss is a malignant c*nt. Anyway today has been the worst day yet and I don't wanna come back on Monday, I have a contract of employment which sais I have to give 1 months notice but I honestly can't handle even 1 more day.

Whats the worst that can happen if I just don't turn up for work or just don't come back a letter saying I had to leave for personal reasons?

I really can't handle this anymore! :twisted:

Ha ha, we've all been there mate.

Well if you want to see how to leave a job and not go back, you should talk to my old man. He's the grand master.

I think his prefered method is to thretten to kick the bosses head in (or atleast tell him to "**** right off, chap"). He'll not want you back on Monday that way.

I'm just worried about breaking my contract and what legal shite it will get me into. oh yea dude its a SHE boss if it was a man I would have done something already.

Well they can not pay you for the months notice. I think that it can go to court and the like, but it's highly unlikely.

I was once financially tied into a contract and spent about 2 months trying to get the sack. I would turn up late, take a couple of hours for lunch and come back steaming, stay around long enough to sober up, then go home. This went on for ages and they still didn't sack me

.

Tell her that the full moons over now, so she should go and shave because when she turned back into person, she left the warewolf's moustache. Generally that "give a months notice" cr@p doesn't come back on you. A swift "**** YOU" and a dump in the top draw of her desk should be enough that she doesn't want you back :twisted: .

:D Guys Guys such extreme behaviour !!

You dont need to do any of that. Dont turn up, Dont phone in. This will breach most companys work policies. You`ll be facing disciplinary procedures if you were to go back. This could result in you getting the sack. After a couple of weeks they`ll work out that your not returning. As for legal cases against you. Unless the job that your doing is vital & means absolutley no one else can work OR your a brain surgeon type of thing were you would endanger lives then theres no point in them prosecuting & no lawyer would ever touch it.

I have walk out of work & not been prosecuted, & i`ll bet most of us older ones on the forum have also walked out of work & i`ll wager non of them have been prosecuted !!

Despite any legal comeback with yuor current employers, if you just walk out, or leave in very bad terms it may affect your chances of getting another job ........... depends if they ask for referances or not.

Just try and grin and bear it, don't let them know you want to leave, find another job, and then take satisfaction in handing them your notice out of the blue !

They can't get an injunction to get you to come back as there is legal authority that a court will not enforce a labout contract if it meant that to do so they would enslave you.

They could theoretically sue you for breach of contract: but I doubt it as your newly found unemployed status would mean that you have no money :D

You would be sacked immediately, you wouldn't get a month's wages and you wouldn't get a reference - so in the next job you would have to explain why you left under a cloud. So its probably worth waiting the month.

I don't need a references I can get a job easily at my old place they will take me back.

So basically nothing to worry about if I just walk then?

If the boss is that bad and you have documentry evidence (or witneses I beleive) you could walk out and then take the company to a tribuneral for constructive dissmissal.

The other thing to do is to complain about your boss, in the UK the CAB is very useful for pointing you in a suitable direction, as can a union rep (even if you are not in a union)

You have to be in a job ATLEAST 2 years before you have to give a months notice to quit. Upto 2 years service, it's 1 weeks notice.

I had ALOT of cr@p myself with my last employer, and the above info is what the Citizens Advice Bureau told me.

jt · « **Reply #11 on:** November 10, 2006, 05:21:41 PM »

:D No its OK for you to walk out.

BUT as the guys have said if you need a reference then you`ll be F***ed BUT there is a way round it. Sign on to an Agency [ Manpower etc ] then do any of the jobs that they give you then ask for a reference & they will happily give you a reference. I know i`ve done exactly this & it worked for me !

It would be highly unlikely that you would suffer court action-they will just terminate your contract for your breach of contract. Of course if you went in and gave your notice(whether it be a week or month it doesn't matter) you could easily find tha they tell you you need not come in anymore but that they will not pay you if you don't-so the upshot is: you can walk out with impunity.

Afghan Dave · « **Reply #13 on:** November 10, 2006, 07:39:05 PM »

The legal point to be noted regarding references is very simple.

Your previous employer can refuse to provide a reference but CANNOT give you a bad reference - either in writing or over the phone - to a prospective employer.

Such would constitute defamation and could be actionable by you.

I wholeheartedly doubt that the contract would / could be enforced but should such happen you would simply counter with threats of taking them to tribunal over constructive dismissal.

Just walk... :)

GOOD LUCK! Happy days are still to come..

tea up a new job.... and walk.

whats the worst they can do. "we wont pay you for your last month"

"Umm so ... I've got a new job"

It might be worth noting that you may want to put in writing your reasons for leaving. NOT in a malicious way. Send a copy to her and her supervisor. Unless she owns the business she would have a supevisor too.

BTW your not a swimming instructor? My sister runs a swimming school and she can be a right cow :lol: :lol: .* JOKE'S*
