A friend phoned this morning stating that he was moving jobs , she received an offer of a position from a direct competitor of her current employer some time ago.
She went to her current employer this week and told them that there was an offer was on the table but also held back the fact it was a competitor, her current employer said that they would need time to see if they could agree new terms in order to keep her. They came back and stated that they could not match the terms on offer but came close. She told them that it was not acceptable and she tendered her resignation which was accepted, at that point she told them who the offer was from.
Well, that changed matters , her manager went out of the office and came back with a member of security and HR. They advised her that she was to leave the premises within the next 15 minutes and to go to her desk (escorted) to only collect her personal belongings. She did all of this , shocked, but nonetheless all in a sense of numbness took her belongings. She then said to the HR person that she wanted her P45, notice period before she left the premises, she also stated that such a procedure of treating an employee like a criminal was never made clear to her and that she had no time to say goodbye or close off her work. They stated that it was not possible to allow her back to her office, and that a P45 and any money owed would be forwarded to her. However they did state that if they checked her email, web activity and phone records and found that she had dealings with this company within the scope of her employment that they may deny paying the notice period since they may deem such contact to be a breach of contract.
Any Thoughts ??
