that's the problem , David & Goliath , problem is that these cases are classed as vexed cases which means they'll fight you every inch of the way - can be very unnecessarily obstructive and aggressive , you will need to have prosecution against RM ; i.e. to nail them , forcibly make points to stand a chance of winning on the balance of probabilities as it's your word against RM so you must have primary evidence , who , what , when etc diarised at least .kay_thebigbird wrote:Having been involved in a high profile case including ET myself & having talked for many hours with lawyers etc,you will find the experience stressfull, but with your case I do know that constructive dismissal is very complex & hard to prove especially with no legal expert on your side, RM will have a very good Barrister probably QC, but I do wish you the very best of luck.
RM's Achilles heel is their arrogance , a tendency to be too judgemental acting as the police , judge , jury & executioner , one dimensional , they can be tripped up as everything is purely to impress a more senior manager on a " we all must be singing from the same hymn sheet " basis - everything has to be picked to bits , there may be conflicting stuff , stuff that's contradictory , too vague and obscure ,they lay things on too thick , sidestep things , stonewall denial will be a tactic , arrogant assumption of the moral high ground they'll twist everything and poor , poor RM will be the victim
, economy with the truth , manipulation of the truth or stretching it to get themselves out of the corner they insisted on backing themselves into , begging more questions than answers , lacking consistency , perverse interpretations put on matters by Senior & Area Management , poorly trained average at best managers cocking and botching things and clumsy attempts to cover for it , the underhand manner in how RM can operate , too much over-complication & politics as there's a paranoid culture of fear and a lot of corporate bullying due to the pressure from on very high , nobody is immune ! , the amount of spin and hype ,+ superficiality on Planet RM .All that above has to be looked at - to call RM's bluff and turn the tables on them , that and more is what legal people will be looking for .
The other weakness is the very autocratic , top down style - one size fits all and their regimented approach which causes a lot of problems in the workplace , be it for staff or managers who have to make the impossible ; possible . RM only hears what it wants to hear .
Their other Achilles heel is the media , if RM are able to close ranks and sweep sh** under the carpet they will do , a friend of a friend can have a quiet word in a reporter's ear , you may get a settlement but if you do ; don't be bullied by their solicitors .
