The brass neck of some people!!

[scorps]

Got a phone call from the area manager of the company who just punted us. Apparently because I was just left to get on with my job and no one else was interested in what I did as long as their life was made easier, even though they have my computer and files, they dont know where to look to find stuff.

The fact that everything is titled doesnt come into it. Could I possible help them sort out where everything is?


Erm that will be a no then

I hope that "no" was actually "go fuck yourselves".

Correct response was "Certainly, my contractor rates are £100 per hour, 10 hour minimum"

It's called consultancy. It's expensive.

No, it's called "do this for free or we'll do you for sabotaging the system".

All they had to so was let me take redundancy rather than punt me onto the other company who refuse to employ us. I even offered to sign a waiver that Id not sue them for unfair dismissal if they did that.

My P45 arrived today, and they gave my new company I start with on Monday a reference yesterday, they can fuck off now.

My old company threatened to withhold my pay after they made me redundant if I didn't give them the password to the laptop.

I said "It's worth it" and hung up.

My pay came through the following day.

[mjn51]

my rates for consultancy is £1k a day, they'll pay it if they need it.

Pfft. Tell you what; give them my details, I'll charge them £1500 per day for working out file content and password cracking, and we'll split the winnings.

As satisfying as it would be to invite them to GTFO, I would note that them attempting to screw you over is just business, not personal.

It's a smallish economy, there aren't an infinite number of bridges to burn, never say never and all that.

Me, I'd do it on a consultancy basis, to the exact number of hours that they're prepared to pay for up front, and to the exact degree that it doesn't form a conflict of interest with my new contract.

Nothing personal, it's just business.

It isnt rocket science,

file marked tenant details contains the details and contact numbers,

communication letter templates file contains guess what?

and so on.

see how easy I made it for everyone!!

Maybe offer them a flat consulting fee to sort it out.

Don't tell them to GTFO, you'll get infinitely more satisfaction walking away with a nice wedge of their oh so precious money.
