I have a minor situation which relates to my previous employment that I just want someone to give me that slap round the face and tell me to let things go.
I worked as a cleaner for a number of years and the last few months were not great because of the actions of my boss. I was their deputy and quit and they kinda screwed one of my friends over for a job there, when hiring someone they were personal friends with(of course I can't prove it but they changed the job criteria late which I was only aware of after the fact.) There were a few occasions when I spoke with their boss about things they had said in front of other people and it got that bad that when I resigned by handing a letter to her boss, and I told then, they said to me that I only did it to go above their head. I would add that I had two letters with one asking for a reference and the other one to her which simply said resigned. I know which letter was passed onto the person who responded by accepting that resignation(cos I cleaned their room
). I would add that things were that bad that on my last day my boss had the day off, which I only knew about because work colleagues told me on the last day I had to work with them.
I should add that I know work somewhere else on a zero hours contract but not in cleaning anymore. However, there are contractors who work where my boss does and where I do. Some people I knew from then. I had a conversation with one of these contractors and I had said I worked at that place. I kinda asked how things were as they had moved buildings recently. They said things were different and that they did have a deputy to my boss their but that this same boss had said that they had got rid of their deputy(and I do mean me but I am kinda trying too hard to annonymise this all). I was not mentioned by name.
My question really is: 1: Is this appropriate for someone to state this as "getting rid of someone" is suggesting that they were sacked?
2. Should I actually do a thing about this?
Will tag [MENTION=51026]Ula[/MENTION] (cos I think you'll give me the slap I have suggested) and [MENTION=26290]mariefab[/MENTION] (cos I think you're a straight talker)
And anyone else can thump me as well should they think it appropriate. I will add that I did start a log of incidents when I worked in the old place that I still have today. I did not fill in a leaving questionnaire when I left cos I would have been honest and I still need a reference from this person's boss/
