Probably not fired yet! but i would start looking for another job, if you have complaints about the way things are there is a proper and correct way to bring up your concerns, shooting off at the mouth isnt one of them. Anyway they have paid for you to do a course they dont have to ask how it was for you, and how did you do etc, they must have thought it was worth you doing but weather they use your new skills or not is up to them.

Absolutely no problem then. You should even be able to get Lowell to agree to, say, a 2 month adjournment on payment of the £550. Even if you don't, you will have no trouble persuading the judge to do just that. Good luck!

Marc Bolland CEO Marks and Spencer Group plc Waterside House 35 North Wharf Road London W2 1NW I suspect that you if the CEO is made aware, you may see a withdrawal and a write off of the money.

If you are dismissed you are still liable to repay fees usually. The company have invested money and time in you - your response is shocking.

That would change if I believed the apology i got after the weekend was in any way sincere. That's just me, but I am probably typical of many.
