Hi all,
Very quick summary:-
2 employees
Boss put us on 3 days from April 2020 due to covid. Said it would be for a month or 2.
Company did not qualify as per the rules.
We supported the business and were quickly drawn into working our 2 non working days on occasion - we facilitated this so that's on us. I pulled back.
We have signed a new client for the past 2 months - significant revenue.
Boss is refusing to put us back on full salary until earliest September as he is trying to 'recoup' his loss of keeping the business open and we should be grateful.
New client has expectations of full team support 5 days. I have broached this with my boss and said I am being put in a position where I am lying to our client and am not comfortable about it. Outcome is essentially that I am expected to wing it. Both my colleague and I have worked the last 3 weeks on the days we are not paid for so as not to let the 'company' down. Again, we are facilitating this behaviour.
I have broached this 3 times once where it blew up into a considerable row.
If I resign - is it going be detrimental to the business? Of course not. Is it going to cause waves with the client - yes, the CEO (new client) is very happy with everything I have done for him and our relationship is building. I am representing our company very well. I don't mean that in an egotistical way, I am good at my job and I don't believe my boss wants me to leave.
My integrity is being tested. If I do what everyone says I should do and not be available on Thursday and Friday, my reputation is at risk as I will be considered non communicative and lacking in efficiency.
I am exhausted from the games.
Am I really looking for an answer or have I just answered my own question?
