The wife starts a new job at the start of May and in between she's taking the last week of her employment off as a holiday to get stuff done around the house, take the dog on longer walks etc.  Her last day is tomorrow and she's been talking to HR about it and apparently when they calculate her holiday and TOIL accrued, she has to work for 45 minutes on Monday, and they aren't just letting it slide.

45 minutes ffs.

This sounds like the sort of absolute jobsworth nonsense my employer (local council) would pull 😂

It's private sector and the guy she reports to (who is a director but only owns 10% of the company) takes it personally when someone leaves.  Their never allowed to return to work there.  I used to work there and my exit interview was a laugh.

Is there no scope for working this 45 minutes tomorrow, going in early or staying late? Making someone come in on a Monday for 45 minutes is scumbag behaviour.

That's exactly what I said, but that would be classed as OT and they'd have to pay her time and a half.

Some utter walloper posted this on Linkedin the other day. Tbf, most people called him out on it, but it's scary the number of people who think like this.

Literally everything mentioned there is a metric by which you could measure failure.

I'd like to think someone created that as a joke, but I've known enough folk who inhabit that kind of headspace....spending 11 hours in an office full of people who actively despise them and chalking it in the win column.

FS. Is there no way she can forego the OT? Sounds like they're just being c***s about it. Tell your Mrs to leave a shite on his car bonnet on Monday.

Honestly, when you hand your notice in the guy basically acts like you've just pumped his wife and kept the profit for all the sales of the video of it.

That is the most petty thing I think I’ve ever heard. Wild.

Go in 45 minutes before closing time, and send out a pile of queries for someone else to sort out the next day.

Tell here to take in a big cake as a sort of final farewell.  It will be so disruptive, they will wonder why they bothered.

I have a friend in Belgium who played professional football over there, before starting his own cleaning company (some career change) in Brussels. He now owns several cleaning companies, does all the high rise and government buildings and is phenomenally wealthy. f**k what your so called mates say, if it’s what want to do then do it.
 

 

Name? I wanna look up his career.
