valkyries Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm so p****d off my boss is a ******* **** i work in a nursing home, where as you know your pulling and pushing equipment like wheelchairs, hoists. I've had my feet run over so many b*****y times, so i bought some safty boots to protect my feet, they are black like we hve to wear. So what's the problem, well my w****r of a f*****g boss as desided i can't wear them, i've wore them now for 5 f*****g month and nothing as been said. The best part is this wear something else tomorrow or don't come in, if you don't come in don't come back WTF is that about. Well i don't have another pair of black shoes as i've ruined so many with the wheelchairs an hoists, thats why i got safty ones. He is on mother f*****g b*****d so no shoes i can't go in tomorrow an if i don't go in i can't ever go back. So i'm out of a job just like that, i can't go buy any coz i'm in work every day this week but i got to get them tonight any way, but i can't because Dave as the card and he's at work so i have no money. So i'm saked for wearing safty boots that i have worn for 5 month, oh you think thats bad another girl today was told last week about her shoes so she get's new ones, well guess what ? he did not like then so if she don't have a different pair she can't go in tomorrow and if she don't go in she can't go back. This girl is worse off than i am she's a single parent with 3 little ones and she can not go and buy another pair tonight just because he did not like the new ones. so yes im so p****d off right now because of a f*****g power crazy p***k with lots off money and who does not give a f*****g s**t about any one.

Sqwidge Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 woah, he has said WHAT?!?! i mean that's ridiculous, if you can do your job, what is the problem with your shoes...if he fires you for that (just go in tomorrow in the shoes you have been wearing) take him to tribunal...Also, if he wants you to wear specific shoes, tell him he must pay for them and issue them as uniform. what a w*nk*r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boshka Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 He can't do that, he needs to give you reasonable notice. Tell him you will take him to an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal (which it is as he is trying to force you out of a job). Some employers are complete a holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkyries Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 LOL if you met my boss you'd want to kill him, you can't talk to him even when he is wrong he wont back down. I'm a senior carer there so imagin how he speaks to the carers, they are scared to death of him, one lady 61yo been there 24 years he as her in tears every day for nothing , he's a bully. people have took him to a tribunal he's dragged it out a few years then pays out of court and glots on it that it's pocket money, he's an ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqwidge Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 bloody hell, i am actually shocked that people act that way...i must live in a nice little bubble...although i have seen/heard some things happen where i work (including being told to f**k off by someone who i thought was a friend) but nothing that bad. that girl could have him for assault, you can't pin people up against the wall. Is there anyone above him that you could talk to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexas Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Wow! Is there not someone higher then him you can contact. That seems like something you can sue over.. I mean come on.. shoes? How stupid. I can't believe that some people in this world have to pick at every single little thing. He should be the one to be fired if ya ask me. Nvm about the going to someone higher if he owns the place. Didnt see that before. Sorry you have suck a horrible boss. Still think you guys should look into suing him if he fires you over shoes.

Rosemary Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 That's crazy - he won't get away with behavior like that here. Sue the pri.k if he fires you - you have rights. Good grief, he wouldn't try that here, they would have him in labor court so fast he won't know what hit him. Idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid_Wolf Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 OMG!!! Thats awful!!

mbb23 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Omg thats really bad hun what an idiot of a boss!! Have you got a union at work? In work plaements there should be a health and saftey manual have a look and see what that says, it also may need to be updated. Surly he cant get away with sacking you over something as silly as wearing saftey boots in work??? I would have thought it might have been part of your work policy to wear saftey shoes with the type of work you do. Really hope you manage to find some work shoes hunny maybe someone on here thats near to you could lend you a pair Really hope your boss stops being an idiot and back off you and give you a break and stop pulling you and other staff members up on silly things! Let me know how you get on hunny x x x x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 holy crap!!! employment tribunal for unfair dismissal sounds like the way to go IF he does fire you. Have you got a union rep - if not you can join a union on the internet - you may have a company policy as well - see if you can find your handbook and see if it says anything in there about health and safety wear. Is it a privetly owned business or is it part of a group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 throw ur boots at the pr!cks head!!!! i cant belive that i wud try and sue his ass if thats possible for u (dunno if it wud cost or not) what a w@nk3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 He is breaking so many employment laws it's unbelievable. He has allowed you to wear these shoes for five months without telling you they were inappropriate, that is known as "established practice" he has to give you fair notice of the change and an acceptable period within which to effect the change. (however wearing safety shoes in that environment would be considered BEST practice, from a health and safety and a Duty of care practice) Swearing at you and intimidating you is against the acceptable working practices agreement that ALL employers must uphold Gripping up an employee is common assault Sacking anyone without a tribunal, and without suspending them on full pay pending said tribunal and giving the employee a chance to defend their position before sacking them is against the ACAS rules of practice. You do not need to belong to a union ALL employers MUST uphold and abide by the ACAS rules. . .it's LAW. If you could get witnesses to back you with what he has been doing. You would have a rock solid case for unfair dismissal and he would have to pay YOU a very large payout. the downside is that he would probaly end up closing the care home and that would affect the old people in care there.

Val (Zebedee) Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 that is good advice, Andy, +1 Linda, I can't believe there are still bosses like that out there, he's obviously got away with it for so long, he thinks he's untouchable, what a sh1t .... but he can't fire you for you following best practice, he's not got a leg to stand on. Good luck with it, I would turn up tomorrow & tell him you've taken advice & you're doing nothing wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
