Thanks everyone.
They didn't document the meeting in which I apparently received my first warning but the one I just went to has been documented.
I'm not just going to walk out- but don't see much point in fighting their decisions at this stage. I just know now I don't want to work for a company like this for the pay I am on.
Regarding the business idea- I've ran it by some close people including my parents who own their own business so not new to the concept and they think it sounds good.
One thing I need to check is- 'employee raiding' (i.e stealing business concept and contacts for my own business) if my contract doesn't have a clause in preventing this, does anyone else know of any reason it would be illegal?
cool. I suppose it depends on your relationship with the company's contacts/clients? In my previous job, I was not happy with the way the company was going (MD's fondness for liquid lunches and lack of work coming in, late salary payments, etc.) so I left to work as a freelancer. Luckily over the time, I built up good relationships with the clients who went with me (obviously I was cheaper than the company would charge but still).
Just thinking aloud....If the situation improves say next month (e.g. salary increase, relationship with boss is patched up, or whatever), would you be happy to stay?
EDIT - AH, I see this now in my Draft list (not there before)! I did press "Submit" not "Save Draft" this post yesterday.
