Hi Guys, this is my first post so apologies if it isnt in the correct forum. I have just been made redundant from my job. I have just arrived back at work after having my second baby and like a previous poster was told that my job was no longer there (the person who covered whilst I was on maternity is still there - in that job! and then have also hired others to fill exactly the same position I filled before I had my baby (only in another department). I worked for a pretty well known solicitors firm (as does my sister/brother in law). I retained a solicitor and am pursuing a case - what they did was so blatant it really is unbelievable. My only issue is that my barrister has come back to say that she was speaking to the barrister on the other side and disgusting as it sounds it was inferred that I would find it very difficult to be employed in any legal firm in Dublin or the surrounding areas if I pursued this claim. Ie, that verbal references meant alot in a small industry such as law and that perhaps I might be best accepting their offer (paltry to say the least) and moving on. Im beyond angry about this as you can imagine. Im afraid though that they will make my family pay for it by making them legitimately redundant. I also worry that because this law firm is so well known that the judge may side with them in Court. Sorry if I seem a small bit paranoid but honestly I wouldnt put anything past them, they are acting as if they are above the law and seem very assured in doing so.
Any advice very welcome.
