just been royally shafted by my employer,

started on a 13 week probationary contract with the company going perm after this has expired,

due to go perm on monday (7th) get pulled aside today yes Rob attendance spot on time keeping perfect job performance outstanding but we're extending your probationary period for another 4 weeks and wont give me a reason but they say everything i'm doing is spot on

go figure lol
 
Get used to it.

I was employed a year ago as an Office Junior/Vetting Officer. Crap job but at the time I had just come out of college and was looking for a steady income.

After about 3 weeks, I landed myself with the title 'IT Manager'. I've spent the last year fixing computers, upgrading computers, doing a full restore of one of our servers when it went down (and again for our webserver) and offering both on and off site support.

To top it off, I recently had my hours cut while the company goes through some 'financial difficulty'. I don't know why though, I've saved the company about £10,000 in IT support bills.

And what've I got in return for my hard work and skills... sod all. :mad:

How is he "royally shafted" ?
He had expected to sign a permanent contract this week IF his employers were 100% happy with everything. Clearly they have a reason for NOT offering him a permanent contract just yet. He has not been shafted. He still has a job.
At the end of the day they may just eb a little unsure of him as a person and how well he is likely to fit into the organisation so wish to extend the probationary period as they are completely entitled to do.

Was a play on words :)
 
I once worked at a place for 15 months and was "temporary" the whole time, along with many of my colleagues, which meant we earned less than the "permanent" staff who did exactly the same job.

Another place I used to work at, before the law changed a few years ago to make the unfair dismissal period two years, used to sack people just before they'd been there for 12 months and then re-employ them shortly afterwards.
 
maybe shafted is too harsh



Just came back to me erm um eee can we do your temp-perm interview tommorow ????

and start you monday
 
might have had something to do with me spending my lunch hour in full view surfing s1jobs :)
