You go girl!
you took 19 days of for parental leave, where you paid for this ?
If it was that bad you would not have stayed 5 year's or would you.
Yeah - statutory entitlement so nothing untoward about an employee availing of her right in this context dodo.Parental leave is not paid. It is a right that every parent can take off (unpaid), so many weeks before each child reaches a certain age.
Headachecity, please stand up to him! Even send everyone a collective email him included stating your real reasons for leaving. See how he likes that. I dont think you are a walk over but I hate to see people get away with such like that. Bullys annoy the s**t outta me.
I don't want to lower myself to his standards but I pretty much know what I am going to do. Had a good think about it.
I am going on holidays tomorrow and won't be back. When we get back next week I am going to the GP for a sick cert stating stress related to work. I am actually clearing my desk on the sly at the moment and doing a cheque run and did the wages in advance and forwarded the date on BOL to cover the rest of them in here for a month anyway.
Tidied up the whole place, there is a document on the server on how to do my job that I did when I went on maternity leave so he can have that.
I have had enough, all day now ignoring me and this slamming crap can't take it!.
Thanks for everything and please don't think I am stupid or a walk over, far from it, it's just him, his manner and attitude that I cannot cope with.
I am sorry you are having such a rough time at work. However, when you threatened to leave before, you should have just left work. You should not have accepted the boss's counter offer of more flexible working hours. The real problem i.e. his rudeness has not been solved.
If you are the only person in accounts, I can imagine it must be hard to keep all the work up to date and take your 19 days parental leave. You are entitled to this, but small firms don't really have the cover to facilitate the full family friendly workplace. I can understand your boss being annoyed at people looking for flexitime & taking maternity & parental leave. Even though everyone with children is entitled to all these concessions, it does lean on the side of the employee and the law does not take note of the employer needing extra cover while key people are on their leave.
As soon as you discovered your boss's attitudes towards families, you should have started looking for another job (pref. in a large organisation) which has the facilities to cope with additional leave/flexitime.
Your boss tends to want to 'have his cake and eat it'. His attitude suggests that he wanted an experienced person for the job, but didn't want the hassle of employees having a family & a life outside of work.
You said you are interviewing candidates for the position. If you chose a single candidate who is very assertive, they could suit the organisation & the manager better. Or else you could choose a candidate that does not have work at the moment. At least they are not leaving another job for this job. Please do not choose the nervous candidate, as this candidate may have a breakdown & may not be able to cope with your boss. I know you do not care about your boss (and rightly so) but think of the nervous candidate. What goes round comes round, and it is unfair to take a nervous candidate out of a job if they are completely unsuitable.
