Protected conversation

[abonae]

Hi

 

I had a protected conversation with my employer, instigated by them, earlier this week.  Would it be misconduct if I were to disclose that conversation to colleagues?

 

Thanks

We may not agree a settlement.  The are offering nothing in cash, just the offer of an agreed reference and managing the communication to the organisation.  

 

The alternative is to start the performance management process.  I'm undecided really.  I've made a counter proposal with a modest number of months as compensation.  Don't know what their reaction will be.

 

Thanks

My manager described it as a Without Prejudice conversation which I believe is technically incorrect (there was no dispute between us or pending) but the clear intent was to discuss my potential departure.

 

No obligations were placed on me at the meeting.  I asked the question because I may well reject the offer of a SA (because there is no payment as compensation) and go down the performance management route.  I want to know if I can tell colleagues what has happened.

 

Thanks

Emmzzi, I agree.  However their current offer included no lump sum payment.

 

Meeting my manager in the next few days, so I will certainly keep quiet until then.

 

Thanks

Just an update.

 

I asked for, and got, 2 months which I thought fair.  They tried to pressure me into signing the SA a couple of days after I received it.  I pushed back on this too and got 10 days to consider, and the termination date to match.

 

Thanks for the replies.
