My ex employers contacted me on Thursday, 4 days after I terminated my temp contract with them. They asked me to explain what had happened (the usual thing, everyone concerned has been questioned and says as far as they were aware I didn’t have any problems). I think the HR lady got a bit of a shock because I stuck up for myself and fought my corner, I even quoted a bit from the DDA as I had read up on it last week. She got a bit flustered and admitted that there were things that they probably could have handled better to do with appointing me; she also admitted they had not taken anyone on before who had just had lengthy time off due to cancer.
Turns out because I wrote them a letter outlining my problems, I have now kick started the grievance procedure and they now have to write to me to ask if I want to pursue this. What a pain, I don’t know what to do for the best, but I think I might ask my solicitor to take a look over the letter when it comes, also to give me some advice.
Why is nothing ever simple with this illness?
