I honestly didn't expect to see myself heading back into this thread anytime soon but it's fair to say something that started out and appeared to be a dream has careered into a nightmare... this past 2 months and some incidents leading up to it have left me in such a state of depression and left me so dis-illusioned, it's even making me feel like I don't want to work. I could write a much longer write up but I'm now so exhausted with everything that has transpired.
To cut a long story short..I was last paid my employer in June 2019. Since then, we have been told multiple things until it has reached it's current close. Just 1 day prior to our next payday, we were informed there was no money to pay us and that we would see the company placed in administration only to then be told a completely different message 24 hours later stating the business was not going into administration and that money was coming into the company and that would enable the wages to be paid.
The next thing we were told was a different company was buying the business and when the deal was completed, they would honour our salaries.. this became a constant soundbite as dates continually moved then 2 weeks ago I was told along with around 50% of colleagues that the new company was making redundancies and I would be 1 of the despite being assured I was integral to the day to day operation as well as the fact the deal was apparently signed off.
Fast forward to Thursday where there had still been no sign of any money or the deal being completed and I'm informed the sale isn't happening and the company is actually liquidating, so now I have to sort out a form to claim what I'm owed off the government as well as trying to find a job and now applying for Universal Credit which is a joke.. why ask me what my rent is if you say you will only pay 50% of it.
So here I am now spending my weekend looking for absolutely anything just to get money in...
