Job Confusion
So I recently applied for an internal job for the company I work at it’s more of a sister company, went through the interview stage, completed DISC assessments and chatted to multiple managers and directors of HR, Operations and Health and Wellbeing. Job was 15k more and a vehicle, so I handed my notice in once I received verbal confirmation and signed a contract of employment.
I was due to start in 9 days time but received a call last Monday from the Ops Manager asking my experience and made a few faces when I answered. The next day I received another call from the Ops manager stating she’d spoke to the director and didn’t think it was very fair to put me in the role as they both believed I didn’t have the experience. This is the same director that interviewed and was part of the recruitment process from start to finish. She stated HR would be in contact to give me more roles suited to me and my pay bracket.
The Wednesday I sent quite a length email raising my concerns and asking would they be resending my job offer as clearly they’d no trust in me.
In the emails that followed from the director he said I was to ignore the conversation and proceed with the planned start date. Raising my concerns again about the conversation that the Ops manager and himself had, he said it was a mistake communication and I was too proceed as planned unless I want to confirm in writing I’m not taking the job.
I have no rescinded my notice of resignation currently. The pay bump would have helped massively. However have I made the right decision and can I take this forward to a solicitor as I feel pushed out of a job?
