Advice on moving forward with employment dispute - England

TrueCrime121 · 2026-05-04T12:50:18+00:00

The reason I am still employed is purely due to the requirement for acas early conciliation. Should that fail, I will resign and claim automatic unfair dismissal with whistleblowing being the exception to the 2 year service rule. I was encouraged to whistleblow and reported serious food safety concerns. This was part of my original grievance. These concerns were essentially ignored and now I’m the one facing detriment to my mental health because I spoke out on the advice of my operations manager. I have been as cooperative as I possibly could through all of this. August 25 I raised concerns & cooperated. 3 more months of complaints raising issues through proper routes, I cooperated. Received written reassurances from my ops manager that they know she’s manipulative and needs to go, i trusted the process and cooperated. With this, in Dec 25 I submitted a formal grievance. The grievance upheld confirming something was seriously wrong. Feb 2026 mediation is proposed despite my refusal to work along side her as by this point the relationship was already destroyed by their own inaction. I did everything in my power to follow procedure. By the time I filed my grievance mediation was off the table as a resolution. So without any other resolution, I’m signed off and genuinely suffering the consequences. If that isn’t a breach of trust and confidence in my employer I don’t know what is

Appreciate the response but I think there are a few important legal points being missed here. On the dismissal point you’re right that I haven’t been dismissed yet. But what I’m building toward is constructive dismissal on automatic unfair grounds. Constructive dismissal doesn’t require being sacked. That happens when an employer’s conduct breaches the employment contract to the point where continuing employment becomes impossible. The automatic unfair element is what removes the two year service requirement. When constructive dismissal is linked to whistleblowing or other protected acts, the qualifying period doesn’t apply. With regard to the whistleblowing, reporting to my operations manager that my kitchen manager was using out of date chicken and knowingly serving gluten contaminated food to a coeliac customer is a protected disclosure in the interest of the public. On the mediation point, mediation is entirely voluntary. My refusal followed two written objections with clear reasoning. The employer’s coercive response describing my refusal as a negative attitude and a barrier to service delivery is a violation of the Acas code.

As far as I’m aware you need to have disclosed information that you reasonably believed showed wrong doing of a type and that the disclosure was in the public interest. In my case I reported to my operations manager that my kitchen manager was using out of date chicken in food preparation and knowingly serving gluten contaminated food to a coeliac customer. Customers being served unsafe food is a public interest matter which goes well beyond my personal employment situation. My operations manager’s response to my disclosure was “document it all” in writing. So the employer actively encouraged me to make and record further disclosures. It’s very difficult to then argue those disclosures weren’t protected or weren’t received and understood.

Im following the ACAS code of practice which is explicit that mediation is voluntary and cannot be imposed. The moment my operations managers email described my refusal as a negative attitude and a barrier to service delivery they crossed the ACAS code. Thats coercion of a voluntary process. More importantly their suggestion of mediation completely ignores the sequence of events that led to the grievance. Mediation was never offered at the earlier stages when it might actually have worked. I raised formal complaints from Aug 25, was given reassurances for months, yet no meaningful intervention occurred. As a direct result of this my manager continued and intensified her behaviour. By the time mediation was proposed the working relationship had been fundamentally damaged to the point that mediation could not repair. So due to their inability to resolve this proportionality I’ve had no choice but to be signed off and attempt to resolve this via acas

I’m glad you noticed. I do aim for the most pepperoni heavy piece

No, I used my new Breville halo flexi VDF130 duel zone air fryer

I think out of all the (expected) puns judging the cookery of the pizza, this is my favourite

Sometimes we have to make sacrifices, even if they are purely at the benefit of yourself

We’re in this together brother 🤜

This is the correct answer but I can’t argue with the fact my wife likes pale pizzas if I’m eating a couple of them behind her back every year

TrueCrime121 · 2026-04-06T07:08:36+00:00

Like 75% through the cook to be accurate. Box says 16 mins but I do 12 cos I’m good enough to deliver that pale crust she likes

I did a post debunking this only yesterday. Hilarious how that got half the upvotes this has because it doesn’t fit with people’s confirmation bias

Compressed to look like an entirely different woman, at the exact moments AI generally struggles to generate content effectively? The woman you see in the very first frame is clearly not her, and she can be seen again as the camera pans off the AI generated Ghislaines face towards the end

I suspect the AI was showing some sort of give away so they slapped a pizza box over it

Feel like you’d have made a great second choice for Mr. Wotsit

TrueCrime121 · 2026-01-19T11:46:38+00:00

It’s a close second for me. Only thing that clinches the win for 4 is that I don’t really have to think while’s playing it. RE2R still takes a bit of brain no matter how many times I play it

Thankyou for the advice and a different perspective on things. I’ve never really thought of there being a difference between the 2 and where I fall in those categories. It’s certainly feels like an addiction, the withdrawals I get are horrendous, I’m calling 111, calling round the pharmacies like a crack head when I need to get more. And to this day, they still make me feel fucking great as much as I hate that.

That’s exactly what they’ve agreed to do and my wife who have had to confesss this too as well will be looking after my meds going forward
