I WON! I WON!

We all have memories of the unkindness of others in our lives Penny. Its happened to me, and thousands of others, particularly concerning jobs. I once knew of a Chief Accountant who was called into the boss's office and sacked. He sat down and refused to move until he was reinstated. He sat there all afternoon. In the end they agreed to continue his employment as a Consultant, so he kept his job. They were just trying to put one of their mates into the job.

You did the right thing getting the QC who is trained to deal with people like them. Good to hear of your parents' financial support.

Try to keep quiet, dont discuss the nastiness with anyone or it may get back to the people who caused it.
Am so sorry to hear of the working conditions in Georgia.
Even if its poorly paid, a secure job is worth looking for.
I send my love and good wishes across the 'Pond' and as I always say " Theres a lot to be said for allotment gardening" nobody can chuck you off !

well done for sticking to your guns as they say,ive been unemployed and so stressed wondering where the next bill is comeing and would I lose my home,so pleased for you

So pleased to hear that justice has won the day! Good luck to you in finding another job and enjoy gardening in the meantine! Lots of Good Wishes. :o)))))

Well done Laura ... I'm glad your pets and garden now have a more secure future :o)

Laura
Pleased things are on the up for you.
Our laws in the UK are very different,in many cases they pay people more to sit on there backside who are fully capable of working,I can only speak first hand of the Bristol area but there are so many things our council can not afford to do, thoes capable could be assigned to carry out, many of these tasks in exchange for benefit.I could make a list as long as my arm of things that require attention but wont bore you,the biggest draw back is our stupid laws,I worked for 50 years without them it just required useing common sense.

So pleased to hear that you won your case, what a relief for you, good luck in your search for a new job :-))

Well done, and I wish you well in whatever you do now that it has finally been sorted.

well done lauram, a small victory is always welcome, they shouldn't have fired you in the first place so you still have a huge unfair loss. Its the same over here, in reality there is really little or no protection against unfair dismissal and our governmental systems are thoroughly corrupt and bias. You only have a chance of justice if you have the money, thats it.

So pleased to hear that Lauram..it's a triumph for you,but a shame it had to happen in the first place..I agree with all the above comments..you really have to fight your corner....so well done for making a stand,and winning your case..and so glad your parents were able to help you do it..:o)x

CONGRATULATIONS! WELL DONE! I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO YOU! I AM THE SAME - I WOULD PUT UP A FIGHT WHEN I HAVE BEEN WRONGED - HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BEST WISHES FOR THE FUTURE AHEAD! :)))))))

so pleased for you, such a relief, you can look forwards now with a light heart xxx

Lauram...Im delighted for you....I love it when justice has been done.....Good on ya for taking it all the way!!!...:>)

Thanks everyone. And what goes around comes around. My former manager may be charged with animal cruelty; it may happen any day now. If you or I had a dog with a broken leg, and didn't get the dog to the vets, it would be considered not only a violation of county ordinances but would also fall under the state's definition of animal cruelty. But dogs and cats would come into the shelter with broken legs, broken backs, eaten up with maggots, exploded eyeballs, etc. and sit in their cages for DAYS with NO vet care whatsoever!!! They would sometimes suffer for a WEEK before they were euthanized since the shelter only euthanized once a week! I have paid to take animals to the vet myself just to relieve their suffering!

So I may have lost my job.....but what's going to happen to the guy who fired me will be much, much worse. Even if he's not sentenced, how embarrassing will that be???!!! It'll be all over the news. And in reality, I needed to get out of there. It was making me sick; I was having panic attacks because of the stress. My boss had hired 2 of his best friends and made them supervisors and they stated that they wanted to fire every single one of us! 5 long-term employees (out of 12 in the office) lost their jobs within 8 months! We had all been there for over 5 years! I have a contact there who says the situation has deteriorated terribly; people are having screaming fights and she says the remaining employees are like a pack of wild dogs....they are going to claw each other to death. They will self-destruct.

I'm pleased you won your case.

Very well done you for sticking to your gun's a good result, i am so please your animals will be ok now , best of luck in finding a new job :)

What is terribly wrong is that you did the right thing putting your details into the Accident Book. Every organisation has some kind of insurance to cover employees accidents. Obviously he sacked you because he did not want to pay your legitimate Claim. Maybe this
was a % of any Claim, to get cheaper fees.
Its amazing that these Victorian conditions exist in USA.
Dont you have the R.S.P.C.A. in America ?
The local Inspector should be monitoring this establishment, every week, to make sure no animals are suffering.

it'll happen, Diane, there's been investigating going on for a long time. Everything just has to go through the proper channels so it's slow.
