Need urgent advice - work, settlement, honesty and the future

addlestones

Hi

I've been offered a large sum of money to leave the company I love and truthfully don't want to leave. I have an outside union rep who has recently sent an email outlining my options:

Option A Continue working for the company under the constant threat of process hanging over me. The final written warning for my sickness record being one misconduct away from dismissal. I was recently admitted to casualty due to severe pain from a kidney stone at 4 am and was released from the hospital after being given various drugs including morphine at 1 pm and I was at work at 2 pm. There is also a process HR has said they would take me down in terms of conduct, basically, I sneeze in the wrong direction and I'm in trouble.

Option B Take the money and explore a new life where everything will be rosy and jolly and I'll find work tomorrow!!

I don't know where to turn or what to do. I was told about this yesterday and MUST make a decision by Friday.

I love the company and it isn't bad but I am in a bad situation where many people have told mistruths and I have been caught in the cross fire.

PLEASE, SOMEONE, HELP ME

  • THANKYOU to everyone that has commented on my post. Today, I took the very hard decision to sign the settlement. After seventeen years of full time and twenty-two years part time I am leaving a good company sadly with some not so good people around. I'm hoping the sense of loss and pain will disappear over time and by moving forward things will be better for me. I am seriously concerned about those I have left behind especially as the antagonist is still at work, my solicitor advised me against writing to the company once I have officially left, I'm hoping my union rep will know some workaround so I can in some way protect those that need it and also expose the real problems.

    Glad to hear u got it sorted. 

    As as nice as it is that u care about yr ex colleagues, it’s now no longer your problem.

    Focus on YOUR future. At least financially you have more options than most people who leave a work place.

    really happy for ya.

    Thanks. Just wish there was a chance for proper closure as if I was to leave normally. I'm going to try and organise a get together with those that care.
