What a Week !!!!!

This has been one of the strangest and busiest weeks yet at the Chase and in my personal life. First on Monday my deputy went off sick, so I had to cover and that set me back. Then I got a message from ACAS about an offer made by my ex-employers 'representatives' (another word for blood sucking solicitors) they made me an offer against my claim for unlawful deduction from my salary just before Christmas, so this git thinks he can make life hard for me over Christmas, then essentially admit that, 'Oh I made a mistake!' and here is the money deducted, but I will still keep £72, what a scumbag, but things get better.

The week progressed at a speed that was incredible. Now I have left the employ of the last person I have suddenly become a welcome asset it seems. Social workers are speaking to me again, and the Chase is getting so much business we are finding it hard to keep up. Just this week we have had another permanent resident and another emergency respite, plus another view for a 6 week respite and another view booked for Monday.

Then I got a letter from my ex-employers 'representatives' (the blood sucking solicitors) with the offer confirmed, but with what I saw as a thinly disguised threat to enter the offer to the tribunal and to place a costs order warning against me. My human rights have been completely walked, no stamped all over, as the tribunal is due to be heard until April, yet they are trying to force me to accept the 'offer' immediately.

I had to remind them that I have basic rights and one of those is to make up my mind in my own time, and that I am entitled to claim compensation, which I have done considering the emotive time of year this happened and personal circumstances that my ex-employer had been notified about, and I still have the email to prove it with date and time stamp.

Funny though I found out that my ex-employer is viewed as toxic, a bad provider by a lot of people in Eastbourne, obviously I can't divulge who, but what is happening to me, and what has happened, along with my fight for justice is making him look even worse, as I am entitled to tell everyone what I am going through, obviously as a provider of CARE, this raises many questions, like if he does this to people who have worked hard to turn his home around, what else is he capable of?

Going back to the Chase. The staff group now seems to be settled and extremely happy and along with getting everything done, we are having a great laugh and the residents are benefiting from such a friendly and happy environment, not like the toxic one I have had release from. Tariq the owner is very happy and congratulations to him and his wife as they had a baby girl, he can see light at the end of the tunnel and we like each other a great deal he is relaxed and so am I,which makes for a great working partnership. My ex-employer could learn a great deal from Tariq, it might actually make him more human, although I think that is impossible.
