Work resignation

Well done Nanna - and every good wish for yor new job. This is clearly what you needed to do as you now feel so much better.

As other posters have pointed out you may need a reference one day. I would just thank them politely and decline.

When it comes to your resignation letter you do not have to give a reason. If pressed you could just say you felt it was time for a change or a "new challenge".

That's a bonus, then.
A nice rest in the best part of the summer (the end of it!)

Thanks everyone im not starting till sick note ends

Good for you, Nanna29! And as the others have said, I would just move on gracefully. I know what you mean about feeling relieved though. I recently quit my job - not without some thought - because while I loved the job itself and most of the people I worked with, my immediate manager was making my life hell. After one phone call with her in which she berated and belittled me for something I had had absolutely nothing to do with, I came off the phone, thought 'I've had enough of this sh**' and immediately wrote out my resignation and left it on her desk. I too felt relief. No job is worth making yourself ill over - physically and mentally.

Well done Nanna29 ! Good luck and no, I don’t think you should contact them

May I just add one point to other posters’s good wishes - don’t start the new job while the sick note is still valid. Obvious, I’m sure, but your post doesn’t make it clear when you’ll start.
Best of luck.

I'd say whatever you DO-DONT !! Treat them as if they don't exist, they're trying to mess with your head because you got one over on them! Well done you ?? you have a better future and don't need their grubby past. Onwards and upwards!!?

Thank you everyone it really means a lot ?and yes I cant wait to start really looking forward to it. I cant believe how happy I feel. I feel like a new woman

you would not have left if you liked your place of work, you have got a fresh start,goodbye to the old.

If you feel as happy as you obviously do, then it seems equally obvious that you have done the right thing. Well done you!! Congratulations on the new job and the advice to say "Thanks but no thanks" to the old employer seems to me to be good.

Best wishes for your new start

A polite letter saying thank you for your offer but no will suffice and congratulations for getting out of there!

Congratulations on the new job. I so hope you will be happy at last.

I think there would be little point in commencing unfair/consstructive dismissal proceedings as you have another job. If the pay was substantially less you could show a loss, but unless it was significant you would be put through the ringer to recover, and your sick certificate might be used against you, so it might notbe worth it. As to the offer of support I would be inclined to list the occasions that drove you to look for another job and bid them farewell. (In the best possible taste, though as it could impact on your reference)

As I expect your union has said, and other responders on here, just a non- committal rejection of the (token and too late) offer of help. As a former union rep that is the advice I also would give.
I did see a really amusing post on Facebook where an ex employee sent an 'in sympathy' card as a resignation (sorry for your loss!) but probably not what you should do!
I did a no-holds-barred 'what a bunch of barstewards our managers are which is why I am leaving' resignation letter (SO satisfying!) but I wasn't going to need a reference as I took early retirement, rather than get ground under the heel of the new manager.
You sound really upbeat and positive about your new job, and I wish you many happy years of employment with them. .

Company worried you'll do them for 'constructive dismissal' or something, possibly even realising they have lost a valuable staff member who can't be replaced! Do nothing except be sure you've got all your holiday pay etc, let them stew. Congrats on new job!

Well done you. You don't need them . You have given them your best years of service and you have been treated without respect. Enjoy your new job. Don't look back. I have been exactly where you are and never regretted the change for a minute. Best wishes.

They are trying to avoid a constructive dismissal case! ??

Hi because I have always started at 9am and never before this was mentioned in a message from a manager I have kept the message so it proves that has always been my availability. New job is shifts so everyone has the same start and end times depending on the shift your given so better all round

I agree, best to move on. You probably have a case against your former employer but going to a tribunal is a stressful business and employers steer clear of hiring someone who has, no matter how justified the reason, taken action against a former employer.

I took my former boss to a tribunal because he would not pay me my redundancy and I won, he didn’t even bother showing up..

Just a little tip, make sure any conditions you have mentioned to the new employer are stated in your contract of employment, otherwise you !at be back were you started. Good luck with you new job you sound like someone who wants to please your employers but just make sure they don't take advantage of you again.

Yes union have said this i just want to move on as I feel as light as a feather now im so relaxed and happy

They are probably covering their own backs. You could have accused them of constructive dismissal
