Don’t you DARE not do that. Don’t you DARE trust your manager and talk to him alone. You can get sacked for wilful delay, yeah, better yet bring a solicitor into work every day, just in case!

Oh, and even if you do all of that, we can decide not to take you on anyway if you p*ss us off too much. Hopefully you’ll be weak enough to worry about that and instead just work til it’s done.

So, so wrong.

spot on! this was the main factor for me handing in my notice

It would’ve been great to feel like going forward, it is no longer “obvs” that we need a witness to finish on time without being sacked, that would’ve been ever so handy.
