Comments on: Work, or the lack thereof. http://nomagicpill.org/2010/01/work-or-the-lack-thereof/ Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 14 Apr 2012 23:17:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: The Lassie http://nomagicpill.org/2010/01/work-or-the-lack-thereof/comment-page-1/#comment-343 The Lassie Thu, 25 Feb 2010 07:58:04 +0000 http://nomagicpill.org/?p=330#comment-343 Yeah, there might have been a possibility for me...issue was that my friend (a lawyer) said I'd have to pay for court proceedings, should I lose my case. Unfortunately that wasn't a risk I could take, as far as money is concerned :huh I'm still pretty peeved at all that, but in the end, I think you're right - it probably was for the better.

Really, if you were with them for so long I think that you could've gotten more out of them, so sorry to hear, they made you buckle. A single mum friend of mine recently had a very similar experience and she actually managed to sue them and win. Sorry this had to end like that for you and leaves nothing else to say than kinda silly-sounding cliches such as 'maybe it was for the better...'. Hang in there!! :-) Oh, sorry, I could just have read on myself through the ensuing posts…just didn’t have enough time.

I wrote about that again a little later on. Here's the link for you: http://nomagicpill.org/2010/01/sleep-is-outrageously-overrated/ I initially thought there would or should be more I could do, too, but in the end found out from various sources that in reality, if your employer does want to get rid of you, they will most likely find a way to twist things in their favor. A circumstance which makes me simultaneously sad and angry. Oh hi there, Karin! I wrote about that again a little later on. Here’s the link for you:

Then yes, they would legally have been required to offer you a comparable job when you return to work post-Elternzeit and you should have won such a legal fight if it did come to the crunch. Not sure if it's too late for this now...? Just happened to come across your blog and am appalled at what’s happened to you. :ANGRY Were you in an ongoing position before you went into Elternzeit?
