Advise needed

[d000hg]

I wrote everything in notepad (To avoid session time out) and copy pasted in 2 forums.

I had noticed the line break head aches after reading one of the comments. I do agree...It was difficult to read.Sorry about that.But should have understood someone's situation and ignored typo, grammer,English , punctuations,... .

This is not the time to judge communication skills or a person without knowing anything about OP.

Looks like you addressed formatting -it wasn't meant as a complaint but a comment. You might think us judging based on such things is silly, but if you present such a long post it's in your interest to make is easy to read, or people will give up... make it easy for us to help you!

Thank you for the all the inputs.

I got to know about this forum when I was speaking to an ex colleague yesterday. Also was told to expect 'any' comments along with genuine advices.No offence meant.

CAB has specific days for employment advice.Trade unions will not represent any existing issues when you join.

I disagree. You are in a bit of a pickle with your employer and you have posted something very hard to understand. You are right we know nothing about you so have to learn from what you put and the way you put it. It is possible that the communication is part of the issue and only fair to point this out when you post. We are well aware there are always two sides to every story so understanding what might be a problem means you can address it better to fix it. See it from both sides so to speak.

Yes it is. Your English is really bad.

I've worked with, am related to and friends with lots of people who have English as a second, third, fourth or even fifth language and their language ability is better than yours. In fact some of them have an English language ability better than mine but that's because they did law degrees.

I suggest you take English lessons. As already mentioned if you are working remotely it's really important that you are understood.

Secondly you need to work in an office where you can speak to people and get people to help you write emails. The majority of people are genuinely happy to help other people improve their language skills if they show they are making an effort.

Also I should add that if your situation is that bad then you need to go and see an employment lawyer and have a word with them. You would be foolish to do anything until then.

Yes you may have to pay the lawyer after the first half hour, but to be honest you haven't indicated in your poorly written post whether you actually complained to the manager in writing about not having the appropriate documentation or training before you where called in to the meeting.

In fact part of the issue could be your failure to improve your English skills but as that could be bordering on discrimination it's easier and legally safer for your boss to pick on something else.

Bit of a pickle really.

From a HR perspective, having one of their permanents’ effect such a flexible routine must be a nightmare - what’s the impact on the rest of the team? You’re never seen and therefore become an outcast and a target.

I agree with the other posters to a certain extent with their comments on your grammar although it is easy to post in the middle of the night, in a rant and then regret it later. When seeking advice or support, is best to ensure that you write coherently, otherwise your message becomes diluted.

Legal advice is the way ahead (I assume your correspondence with the company was well formed and transparent) but consider that if you are in the wrong then you are probably lighting a torch.

Having a child and having a career is a tough move. You probably would find it easier to have a contractor lifestyle but, as all will testify too, it will not be easier. You will have to keep on top of your paperwork et al or walk the umbrella route. Either way you will still have to put in the hours and will have to become a little more 'galvanised' if you wish to succeed in the market.

Did you consider doing a course or getting yourself up to speed on the new software / language? In the world that is IT, you have to flex and grow. Try to learn a new language every year, it will help (and you may get to make Pope one day). Things are always fluid and the wider your skill set, the easier it will be to think of this episode as an inconvenience within a great career. Worse can happen, be a contractor for a couple of years, it will open your eyes.
