Hate my job and have an interview for a new one next week, I really really hope I get it
Best of luck and have a good chat with someone you trust as it might help too and I do this, write stuff down that you feel should be said. Have a good weekendThank you all for your really lovely comments, Ive decided Iām going to hand my notice in next week, no job is worth this amount of stress, feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders already
You've been there a month and they are hassling you about not making your target?! They sound vile, what is the job if you don't mind me asking? I would have thought that in the first month they are supposed to ease you in and offer supportAnother sleepless night due to hating my job. I have a zoom call with my manager today and Iām this close to handing in my notice, although I havenāt made my weekly target so I think Iām close to being let go anyway.
Ive only been in this job for a month and itās my biggest regret.
Unfortunately, this isn't true. You can be given a "bad" reference provided it is accurate. For example if it was proven you stole from a workplace, they could say this to someone else requesting a reference. Most workplaces do only confirm dates and job titles however to avoid any claims etc.Employers in the UK are not allowed to give a negative reference. They are only allowed to confirm dates of employment and job title. If they were to give a qualitative reference that would prevent you from getting another job you could sue them for compensation.
How long have you worked there? More or less than two years? Iād suggest giving ACAS a call and see what they suggest.So something happened at work and my manager has accused me of something that I have not done. Without giving much away, I have been accused of some sort of office etiquette and I know it's definitely not me. This happened during a meeting with HR and my manager didn't have any evidence other than ''it always happens when you are in''. Is it worth making a complaint to HR about it because it's so offensive and I'm really upset about it? I also know it's a wrong accusation because I have not done this...
But thatās different, this would be related to a formal disciplinary procedure and potentially a criminal offense.Unfortunately, this isn't true.

I have been there for nearly 3 years and thank you I'll look into itHow long have you worked there? More or less than two years? Iād suggest giving ACAS a call and see what they suggest.
You could have an informal chat with HR and then read up on your company grievance procedure if things arenāt resolved. Just remember that HR arenāt there for you, theyāll support the company first.
This still isnāt true. Performance can be mentioned, again as long as itās accurate... ācan include details about workersā performanceā. This would include targets etc.But thatās different, this would be related to a formal disciplinary procedure and potentially a criminal offense.
What you cannot do is talk about peopleās performance, eg āshe didnāt meet her targetā
Yes fight your ground. If you have done nothing why take the blame? You have a right to be angry and upset.

It could be mutually agreed but if contracted to 3 months then that is that. Leaving early without agreement will be breaching that contract; works other way around though. It's always worth asking for it to be considered, they can only say no. A new employer will wait for you as it's common for 3 months notice as you pointed out.This potentially needs its own thread but - has anyone had experience with not working your full notice period?
My notice period in my contract is 3 months (seems to be the norm in finance), but if offered the new job I would rather only do 2.. Is it even worth asking my employer?
I've only ever know longer than a month notice been given if you had been with the Company X amount of years. Worth an ask if you do. So long as Company get a new person in and are trained why make you stay? If you ask and they say No you know you still have to do 3 months. But bizarre to hear if I am honestThis potentially needs its own thread but - has anyone had experience with not working your full notice period?

3 months is very common in my industry once you get to a certain levelI've only ever know longer than a month notice been given if you had been with the Company X amount of years.

Blimey it seems a lot. But certainly ask HR no harm in asking.3 months is very common in my industry once you get to a certain level
I think itās illegal to give a bad reference. It also paints them in a bad light too. No job is worth the stress of not sleeping. If I was you I would take a job that is temporary whilst you look for something more permanent and to your liking. Good luckI know itās ridiculous I guess I just wanted to find another job before I left as a vās up to them really. Also worried if you can get a bad reference? Thatās giving me sleepless nights as well as Iāve never got on with my manager from day 1. Will see how this meeting goes but I have my resignation email all ready
It is long! I have been at the firm for almost 6 years but itās more to do with the role/industry!Blimey it seems a lot. But certainly ask HR no harm in asking.

I have sent an email to HR today. Thank you very muchYes fight your ground. If you have done nothing why take the blame? You have a right to be angry and upset. Good luck
