In desperate need of advice

[westsussexguy]

The company I work for has gone through a large level of changes in the past 12 months, the first gripe was that I have had to relocate offices which requires me to do a daily round trip of 110miles a day. OK I get paid the difference, but you can imagine the impact this has on me with tiredness and the frustration of the early starts and the late finishes.

 

The biggest issue my area of responsiblity was put on hold in February last year, and I have had little work on. Most would see this as great, but to me I found this extremely depressing.

 

I tried every occasion to raise this with my line manager that this was distressing and that I had other skills that we could use in the new team. The reply I got was let me get back to you or just keep yourself occupied.

 

Great!

 

I have only had one 1to1 session with my line manager in a year, which has little change or impact in my role.

 

My line manager is a friend of another guy recently recruited, who has treated me appaulingly. For example he diregarded any support or adicce I have given, he has also delgated work in my area to other people in his team with little or no experience in my area.

 

I found some projects to work on with other parts of the business, but the problem in my existing team still exists.

 

I have raised the matter with HR and they are extremely concerned about the situation, as it appears that I am being bullied...?

 

As a result I have looked around for a new role, and I have been just been offered the new job.

 

Although I am really pleased, there is a strong part of me that feels angry and bitter that I am only leaving because of the way I am being treated.

 

I am going to hand my notice in next week - has anyone got any advice on what is the best route to take here?

 

Do I hand my notice in and walk away or do I raise this as an issue...

 

Hope you can help...

Is it another position within the same company?

No it's a new company

Hi. There's a thread on this fourm by Ms J and the last 2 replies, yesterday and today could apply to you. Pippadee suggested incorporating a grievance into the resignation letter.

 

Could that help you?

[westsussexguy]

Thanks honeybee will check out - I appreciate it!

Do you have a written statement of particulars of employment?

How much notice are you required to give?

[westsussexguy]

I do and I have to give 3 months notice which is not ideal!

Personally, if I decide to resign from a job because I feel aggrieved, I just write a flat resignation letter. I don't offer any explanation, either in the letter or if I'm subsequently asked.

 

If they wish to discuss it, I say, "I decided to resign. So I've resigned.". Then I just look them directly, flatly, coldly in the eye.

If they push the issue further, I say, "I don't have to discuss this with you. If that's not acceptable to you, instigate your disciplinary procedure.".

 

Then I follow them home. (I don't!)

 

I don't think there's anything to be gained from recriminations.

This is my thoughts, just feels wrong to do nothing....

Hello again. I hope this is an OK website with the CAG team. It could be relevant to you soon, it's iresign.com.

 

Good luck.

Nothing is often good thing to do, almost always a good thing to say.
