Regrettably, when DORIS rebranded ODE and assumed control with the intention of reducing its workforce, they placed ODE into administration. During the redundancy process, they neglected to communicate their plans to cease operations, failing to inform and consult key stakeholders. This omission appears intentional, aimed at evading obligations to customers, suppliers, and, most importantly, the staff. Consequently, a group of employees did not receive the redundancy packages they were promised. To further exacerbate the situation, DORIS subsequently reacquired the original company assets and resumed trading as if the redundancies had never occurred. DORIS maintains a public persona centred on valuing its employees, yet the actions taken suggest otherwise, depriving a group of staff of their rightful entitlements to proper redundancy, notice, and benefits earned through their service. We are currently pursuing action in a tribunal, confident that the ruling will be in our favour and will publicly highlight the company’s treatment of its employees and the practices it employs. They wouldnt have been able to get away with doing this to its French staff, code du travail, when there is a business transfer, employees’ employment contracts are automatically transferred to the new employer. We should have been TUPE over to the new company, but instead, they chose to discard us as if all our previous dedication and commitment meant nothing. Settle and pay what you said you would and owe us!
