Hello again!
I feel SOOO much better today.
I saw my solicitor this afternoon who read through everything I'd written down and said I had a strong case! Also found out that I had been subject to Sex Discrimination
She is sending me some information based on our conversation which will tell me my options and will give me information to take to the company demanding grievance stuff, terms & conditions (neither of which the company has).
In the mean time, I've spent this morning finishing a website which I got from Mr Site - I'm thinking about setting up myself. The solicitor said legally I am able to do this although I'm at risk of being sacked for it. So I might leave it until I start my maternity leave.
I'm thinking of stealing her clients because they mark up at every opportunity without the client knowing (illegal). I love those clients and love what I do!

I'm so stressed out at work.
I've been really struggling to cope with my work and just cannot seem to settle in the evenings knowing I have to go back the next day...
I've worked there for 3 years and in that time I feel I have been bullied by the MD. Just a couple of things (believe me, there are plenty more!);
****************************
Employee: DANNII
· Numerous comments on my breasts (she is a lesbian so very uncalled for)
· Wendy said that although she helped Heidi out by offering her a part time position after her maternity leave, she wont do that for me (angry because I am pregnant)
· Wendy constantly tried to talk me into having an abortion. (PUBLIC & PRIVATE)
· When I first told Wendy I was pregnant, her reply was youre not keeping it are you? then the next day, she said she would give me money for an abortion. (PUBLIC) This was in front of Fay.
· Heather (Wendys best friend who also worked with us for approximately a year) also agreed that I should have an abortion and kept calling me whilst I was at home to talk me into it. In the end, I ignored her phone calls and Wendy called me one day after work, I answered, and she said dont ignore my friend and put me onto Heather who then questioned me about ignoring her.
· Wendy whispers to me sometimes about what someone is wearing for example and will laugh.
· Wendy offered me a promotion from Reservations Administrator to Reservations Supervisor to start 1st November, but did NOT explain that my pay rise would begin at the start of January! When I discovered this a week later, Wendy agreed to give me £100 cash for November and another £100 for December. I received Novembers, but have never received Decembers.
· Youre a fucking drama queen, you make dramas out of nothing (PRIVATE)
· After a few discussions when I would get upset at how Wendy spoke to me, she would say oh here we go, fucking waterworks
· When Wendy bought Hotel Options, they had a specific way of dealing with a certain client which I was made to learn in a few days. I was unclear and told Wendy I didnt know how to organise their bookings and needed more time to learn but she sacked Nathan, the lad who had been teaching me. After a few months, the client decided it wasnt working for them as I had not been trained to deal with their requirements properly. For a few weeks after this, Wendy would make public sarcastic comments such as I cant go food shopping this week because YOU lost me BSI! and BSI was the whole bloody reason I bought that company and She would claim she was joking, but it really affected me and I told her it affected me. This didnt stop straight away.
· Wendy made up songs about me losing BSI and when I got upset and said if Im that bad, why am I here? and she came right up to my face and shouted Dont you DARE threaten me with leaving love.
· I was late twice in one week due to my car and Wendy and Fay brought me into the office and told me off and said I was not co-operating. Fay was late a lot and never got reprimanded.
· I found another job and Wendy put a lot of pressure on me to stay by saying she would offer me sales work as that was the role I went for. I stayed with Wendys company and never got that opportunity.
****************************
On Monday my Manager (who is usually in on the picking), called me into the office and told me I was causing an atmosphere (even though we don't even work in the same office!) I basically said that there were a few things she had said/done that had upset me, we sorted it and I got back to my work.
Tuesday, the MD came into the open ofice (where there are me and 5 other girls working) and whispered (quite loudly) "why are you arguing with Fay ay?" I was really upset, this happens all the time. Fay (Manager) makes out that I cause a problem and calls Wendy as soon as she's had words with me to tell her that I'd upset her...
I was upset all afternoon so yesterday morning, I asked Fay if I could have a chat with her (MD was working from home) so she told me to stop what I was doing and "get in her office now" so I did. When I got in there, I said that I was upset that this kept happening and that I felt isolated by them both.
Without saying a word she angrily dialled the MDs home number and started hyperventilating and saying I was in her office upsetting her and that she wants Wendy (MD) to have words with me!! SO, I spoke to Wendy and she said "I did NOT f*cking say anything to you yesterday about arguing with Fay you drama queen" and completely lied!! Fay sat there with a smug face and said "see?"
I ran out and couldn't go back... She's making my work life a misery. Constantly picking on me etc. I'm not in again today. I spoke to CAB and they said to record it (see in blue) that's only part of it - there's a lot more!
When I spoke to my colleagues, one other girl heard her say "Why are you arguing with Fay ay?" (angrily)
SO...
- Do I have a case if I take her to tribunal?
- Also, if I get 2 weeks off due to stress by the docs, how will that affect my pay?
Even if I do get 2 weeks off, I am absolutely sh*tting myself about going back...
I have a docs appointment (sh*t - I forgot what time it was!! It's about 3 I think) so I'll let you know if I get my much needed 2 weeks off...
