Fingers crossed, hopefully the lawyer can put a stop to it, possible a defimation, slander / bullying thing not sure. Not as if they need to do it, employer a isn't asking for a reference.

No worries, the only reason I pretty much killed myself over 2 jobs was to keep up with the cost of living and provide for my family, not out of greed.. so hearing some of those horrible accusations thrown at me really sucks.

But yeah, probably a heap of people having 2 jobs now out of necessity.

I was just part of the marketing team, the financial business is B2B lending (non bank) which isn't regulated by ASIC which is usually the case with banks, mutual banks etc the other is sportsbetting.

well have been officially terminated from Job 2. Now just trying to sort the issue of that employer thinking he has a duty of care to tell my other employer like its a threat.

I reckon so to, he is only doing to be vengeful, no other reason.

I'm speaking to a lawyer tomorrow, the initial talks I've had with them have been positive in the fact that there could be a solid unfair dismissal case because of the way things have been handled by the employer.

do you think there is a solid case?

Thanks for your response. I've already been in talks with a lawyer last night and this morning and has the exact same view.. I wouldn't of been pushed to do this if he wasn't being so vindictive about the whole thing in trying to destroy my relationship with my current employer unsolicited

correct, my bad

yeah apologies for how it sounded... I've had advice from some unfair dismissal places to pursue one but to be honest I'm actually relieved that I don't have that hanging over my head anymore and its done to some degree.

My main concern is Employer B overstepping and telling Employer A, the manner is has told me in comes across as vindictive, threatening and what I perceive to be bulling.. so yeah, that's why I'm getting a lawyer involved, so they can formulate a correctly worded response to the termination.

I believe Employer A would be fine, obviously they would want to have a talk to me about but I'd rather not let it get to that point.

Just to add, I'm not contesting the termination... I'm more concerned about the fact he thinks he has a 'duty of care' to tell my other employer.

yeah it seemed like no due process was followed at all... that's the legal advice I have also, same with the alleged 'serious misconduct'

does a second job constitute serious misconduct?

cheers mate, have dmd

I ain't suing anyone

no, was there for 11 months

mad yes, but none of that was ever an issue, if I was I would of had a performance issues cited... that was never the case, they were as far as I knew happy with my work an output.

How is a B2B finance company a conflict of interest with a sportsbetting company which is B2C? We can't lend to individuals, only companies and on the other foot, companies can't open up sports betting accounts only individuals.
