I have sent him a text as he isn't answering his phone........ lol I will let you know Gary...... cheers for the heads up....... lol

Am I not better off with no signed contract...... surely they then can't hold me to anything if they haven't informed me of it???

Well I don't have a contract...... Someone apparently put it in the office for my attention at some point a few months after I started the job and it disappeared..... (someone took it who wasn't me) Nothing signed since I started, no company handbook either..... All I have is the offer of employment and subsequent emails from manager about employment being at one of the company premises and not having to work at the other one.... Not sure who it would benefit not having a contract, me or them? I have started logging the problems, such as late rota's, staff working 24hr shifts - 6 hours away from work then doing a further 16 hours, health and safety breaches (loads, so I quit as health and safety responsible), Fire regulation breaches ( so I quit as fire responsible, faulty fire doors, locked fire exits, etc.) I feel like I am moaning about everything, but have realised I am just noticing everything wrong now and not burying my head in the sand like the management.... I feel as though I am being 'managed out' or pushed...... Constantly asked to do things they know I shouldn't do, like yesterday asked to dispose of washing machine from upstairs laundry room and carry it downstairs on my own. I refused and told them it was a 2 person job under manual lifting regulations, I then got moaned at all day and another worker was asked to do the same thing and he actually did it on his own. He then got easy day with nice jobs, I got all the more difficult jobs...... Then this same worker (that does 24hr shifts), lied and tells supervisor I said something when I didn't, luckily another staff member heard what was said and backed me up..... This same worker then asked me to mend their old iPhone like the one I did the week before for him..... I replaced the screen and back cover for £10...... This time I just refused and said I would normally charge him £40...... Cheek after lying about me...... I just keep being told,"If you don't like it here then get another job!" I Applied for a few more jobs last night..... Service advisor at main dealership ( done this role before ), even looking at starting up own venture..... Just not sure doing what??......lol Rewrote my CV and today I am going to look again..... Shift tonight 14.45 - 22.15...... YAY!!!!! Thanks for the advice and support Si, Dave, guinnal and everyone...... Need to win lottery of sell everything I have to sell...... need to pay road fund licence at end of month for the Z....

Welcome to the forum, nice to see another essex Z owner.....:clap:

Hi, if anyone has one for sale or spare sitting gathering dust or even anyone know of one for sale.......????? Finally had enough of my exhaust filling the car with fumes as tail pipes were made too short...... Made my 2 boys feel sick on way home from Beaulieu last week........ alright till windows open then it draws in through rear of car.... Looked at a few exhausts and wanted the HKS, but not available for a 2+2...... Now set on the veilside, but can't find any for sale........ I would even consider just the back boxes!!!!!! Cheers.... Russ

Let me know if I can help in anyway......

Cheers Gary and Groover, I feel like I have done my time with 7 years fostering and now the last year at this place...... Feeling burn't out.... I think it is career change time...... The wife works part time, as she gave up area manager position at 27 years old..... she ran 5 River island stores and was very good at her job..... had our 2 boys and no longer wants the management role.... Just wants to do a bit of work and spend time with our boys..... My turn to go to work and earn as worked at home fostering for 7 years.... and stay at home dad all my boys life..... lol

I need a new job and quickly now........ I work in a residential home.... Just had my 'on call' manager having a go at me for calling her in to cover as i needed to leave work on time and they tried to make me stay an extra couple of hours...... apparently, I should have stayed and not bothered coming home, leaving my own kids with a babysitter expecting me back at 22.30 and me not getting home till after midnight.... She actually lectured me and said staff need to stay, what if it had been a major incident..... I just said, " Isn't that what 'on call' are paid extra for?"..... didn't go down well..... lol I am solo sick of being expected to stay late 'Unpaid', write reports after a shift 'Unpaid', come in on a day off to help out and if I don't get moaned at or given bad shifts as punishment.... I am also now expected to do sleep in's, in a small room with no windows or ventilation that stinks of a recent sewage leak and damp..... Bearing in mind I am asthmatic....... The owner of the company has refused to fit any ventilation and isn't bothered that the room allows no air circulation and will at best make staff sick...... I don't get paid if I am off sick or injured by a resident....... recently had dislocated thumb from one and was told no work, no pay...... I am also being forced to work at another home that the company own due to their error in calculating the day to day running costs and staffing...... They have told me that all staff will do 2 weeks there on a rolling rota basis, yet I did 2 weeks and then they decide to send a few others for a day at a time, then expect me to go back and do yet more shifts there.... I was employed at my place of work, near my house and not at this new place, this is causing me no end of childcare issues picking up my children before the nursery closes at 6pm.... Also my monthly rota is not being issued till a day or 2 before the old one runs out.... I can't plan anything, even childcare or doctors appointments...... This rota for last month was even changed over 8 times in that month, meaning each day I need to check if tomorrow had changed shift times, days off, etc...... I am at my wits end now and just feel so low and worn down I want to walk out....... but have a family and bills to pay..... Can't take much more as feel like I am having a melt down and going to lose it at work and walk out soon........ Sorry...... loads of things that have got to me........ Applied for 4 or 5 jobs in different things, from store manager for toolstation to facilities help desk advisor at NHS trust..... Need a career change with reasonable money and hours so I can see my young boys more..... As my 6 year old keeps crying and asking me not to go to work as he misses me being at home and doing things with him like homework or just spending time with me and me not falling asleep on the sofa from exhaustion..... Any advice or words of wisdom???

If you want the pair of heads groover I have them, some brand new valve stem oil seals and a pair of gaskets I will chuck in for you...... To help you get to JAE mate...... and not kill the TT......

Watch it.......... lol

Thanks Andrew, adding to my huge Z file.....

Component breaking down or bad solder joint.............. Just a guess......

I was of course kidding...... I haven't and quite frankly WOULDN"T buy a Z that unloved......... I know how much Si loves a nice bodykit on a Z and would of course be removing it for me and posting the progress on youtube and posting the bits to my home address......lol

Now all I need is Si's address so I can park it opposite his house for the next year or 2..........lol

Well I bought it..........

Hi Vig, I went with LynBrooke in Witham who are equity red star and do classic insurance on driveways..... My parents used Keith Michaels every year and they have had no problems with them...... Russ

Happy Birthday Nicci..............:balloon::happybday::balloon:

That was God telling you you should have come along............ lol

A big thank you to Simone for organising this as my entire family had a great day out, even the wife...... I got to meet sooooo many new people face to face and I have to say, nobody looked like I expected them to...... lol Some better looking and a lot younger looking than expected....... But that was just the cars..... I even got to meet Rob Hughes on the way home when I picked up my new abflug boot spoiler from him...... Top bloke..... I can't tell you all how much I enjoyed this 'NON CHAV' event..... It was perfect.... Family day out, Superb cars and good company...... We can't wait for next years one!! Not saying I don't like santa pod, but this was completely different and civilised! Thanks AndrewG for organising a meet and convoy on the way there..... And your Z is stunning! Russ

Happy Birthday Andy..........:balloon::balloon::happybday::balloon::balloon:
