Advice wanted

[MikeB]

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.

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

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.

Was told in November, effective 1St December, fobbing off is hr delays, reshaping/reorganisation waiting to happen etc, the agreement was not conditional

Looks.like I will have no choice, but also don't want to let them get away with this
