I understand I need to see a solicitor but wanted an opinion here first please

I work.for a large FTSE company and I finally secured a decent pay rise and promotion last November after 6 months of negotiations, this was confirmed verbally and in an email from my line manager ( who is a senior manager)

Since then he has been stalling, constantly fobbing it off etc, I haven't at any.point got the promised rise or promotion, so essentially I have been lied to for many months, I took it to the director of hr and was told talk to your manager

I am on 3 months notice, could I walk immediately for breach of contract, can.i claim constructive dismissal etc, I obviously don't want to remain if what is due isn't forthcoming

Your thoughts please
 
You definitely need to speak to a solicitor. You'll only get hurf blurf here.

My hurf blurf is that I would imagine the company can claim your manager was acting out of his remit. My manager cant promise me a pay rise, it has to be HR.
 
Going to need more facts than that unfortunately. Did your manager promise a promotion by a certain date? Are there certain times of year where promotions take place? How is he fobbing you off? etc. etc.

I get that, Hr blew me off, as a minimum I would have expected my manager to be in serious trouble, may raise it as a formal grievance issue, means I will be finished there but the thought of doing nothing is eating me up

Was told in November, effective 1St December, fobbing off is hr delays, reshaping/reorganisation waiting to happen etc, the agreement was not conditional
 
Look for a new job, particularly one that is offering similar or more to what you were promised. That way it works as proof of your worth, and a fallback if it goes to pot with these guys.
