Bad politics and management - Anonymous employee Princess Alice Hospice Employee Review

As a volunteer all is good. Once you are employed it is a different story. I have recently been appointed to a part-time role (after volunteering for 3 months) as a sales assistant in one of PAH shops. Because of an issue in between shop manager and an aerea manager I was laid after only 1 month with very disappointing comments and criticism about my work. I was not expected such a treatment from such a good named charity. I was clearly a victim of a bad situation in between managers and PAH, first apologised to me and only 3 days later actually decided to get rid of me!! and on the top of it just a week before Christmas!! The manager in question has been criticised by all within the company and I was even prompted to put a grievance against him but decided that this was not worth my while after only a month! I have always been valued for what I do and this experience has come as a great shock and disappointment. I can only say that it is what it is and can only hope karma will do its course.
