Former employer putting the boot in!!!!

[Hiram King Of Tyre]

After 30 years with the same employer, I was made redundant in July. They tried to convince me that there was an open and fair selection process of course......anyway, I eventually signed a compromise agreement and took a voluntary package

After five weeks, I found my first contract job. As it happens, my client is a supplier to my former company. My role requires me to interface to my old company and work with a number of my former colleagues. At a working level there are no problems and I have quickly integrated into the project team

After a week in the new role, my client is asked by my old company to remove me from the project. This has happened through the proper account management team. My new employer is happy with my performance and is looking for an alternative role and wants me to "soft handover" to my replacement. They believe that the request is down to a "historic personality clash" or something and that it is nothing to do with my performance in my new role.

I believe that my old company are behaving in a totally unethical and unreasonable manner. Surely they have no right to do this. Are there actions unlawful though?

If you is black, it's ding-ding jackpot time. If you isn't, forget it, clients are perfectly entitled to reject third party staff if they wish.

Its all part of the game we play! Just move on, forget it.

Talking about which, on my way into work this morning I let a car out in front of me. The driver was as Black as the ace of spades. I noticed her registration number ended in "KKK" I wonder if she realised the irony...

They are probably scared that you may realise that they have constructively dismissed you in the first place.

King Of Type: welcome to the contractors world. Stop whinging and do as you're told. Just charge lots for it.

And..........

Stop using the word employer in relation to you current contract. You give contractors a bad name.
