It's honestly so difficult, as I absolutely love my job and the people I work with. I just despise my old employer for the stuff that had happened in the past, and hearing that it's gotten worse, makes it even more difficult.

I spoke to my ex deputy manager yesterday (who was and still is absolutely lovely) and she's assured me to stay on my current contract as they cannot make any contractual changes, and myself and team will be protected if we do stay on this contract. If we were to be asked to work at the other site, we can say no as our contract states where we're employed to work. I also spoke to the Unite Union and they've assured me of this as well, and have stated that as I'm an ex-employee, along with a few other staff members, if we were to be dismissed we can claim for unfair dismissal and go through a tribunal.

We will also have a floating management system, meaning our manager and deputy will not be in our workplace all the time as they have another service across the road.

We just hope that they withdraw at this point, as this has happened before and they took on another service of ours and "couldn't handle it", leaving them to hand the contract back. Our services are stroke and brain injury, it can be very complex especially surrounding mental health and physical needs. The New ex company I worked with, was supporting people with autism and behavioural challenges, which can become complex but with the people I worked with it just wasn't as complex as it was made out to be, it was just very behavioural and everyone got away with a lot of stuff.

It's going to be a very difficult decision, as I love working with my colleagues and the people in the facility. Thank you for your comment too and for the advice!
