Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Will this impact on the EIHL? There are still quite a few games still to play in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say that I consider myself pretty well read on WWII and when I saw kapos just assumed it was a misspelling of the Italian capo meaning boss or lieutenant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone enlighten me ? Maybe one for WRK ? I thought the same. Thought there was six month period whereby the company couldn't recruit for a post that they had made redundent Similar here. If my last employer wasn't happy with one of us, we all knew that they had no problem with closing the location and laying us off, before opening up again six months later. Happened to three people while I was there (maybe me too; not sure yet). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorongil Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 From a HR perspective this is frankly an incredible story. The people who actually did this will have been told again and again by their HR and lawyers not to do this. There are some incredible morons high up in business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumobir Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I’d imagine the PR department were having kittens too. I get a tasty discount on P&O ferries through work and have used them quite a few times for short breaks to Netherlands and Belgium. Scumbags will never see another penny from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP World don't give a flying f**k about HR and presumably they had their legal eagles ensure that they had a cast-iron case before they pulled the trigger.

Clearly not seeing as they ignored legal requirements for consultation with staff and notification to the business secretary. Whether they can be forced to rehire the staff or they have to shell out a few extra quid in compensation who knows. They seem to have blatantly disregarded the law though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you tell them, drop them a wee email especially if they issue account numbers so if they are inclined they can see that you have traveled with them. Hope everyone who has been fucked by this gets a new job soon and can toast the end of P&Os reputation if nothing else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Watched a programme about Dubai earlier in the year that confirmed my prejudice that the whole place was built, and runs, on what is basically slave labour. Shameful that practice, albeit on foreign registered ships, has arrived here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
