Hello kind people. Last year I was told I may be made redundant so I started to look fr work. I was offered an amazing six figure contract which was my dream job and I was so thrilled. The catch was it was “urgent” and I had to leave my job soon as they wanted to start the new job in early January ’24. I begged to be let out of my job early so I could start the new contract. I figured I would make the money back really quickly as the new job was paid so much more than the old one.
Amazingly my manager agreed and I left my job forfeiting a month’s money and the chance of any redundancy compensation I may have been owed if indeed they had picked me to be made redundant. As soon as I was out of my new job I was told that the client “hadn’t signed off the contract yet” and I should wait. I waited a month and no contract. I waited another month and still no contract. We are in March now and I am pretty sure it isn’t coming. I have been made unemployed by an unscrupulous employment agent who lined me up for a non-existent job. I feel awful.
I used up most of my life savings during Covid and the rest during 2022 when I slipped a disk. I cannot pay my mortgage this month nor pay my bills. I have been told I should sue the agency that messed me up but I need to find a lawyer.
I have no one else to ask. I have asked all the friends and family that I have helped in the past but everyone seems to be broke. Some don’t take my calls anymore.
I know I will be ok one day. I know I will get another job and be ok again – it is just a matter of time. I am 56 but I know I will be ok one day but I would be really grateful for any help to get me through this month.
When I get back on my feet I will come back here and donate. Because everyone needs help occasionally.
Thanks.
