Micro managing & illegal dismissal - Anonymous employee Mashroom Employee Review

Micromanagement from senior staff who lacked knowledge in my area, preventing me from doing my job effectively. They attempted to dismiss me illegally for forgetting to write a handover before a five-day holiday (my bad, but accidents happen!), despite my boss being fully informed. Upon returning, I was called to a dismissal meeting without any prior written notice or warnings, violating their own procedures. When I pointed out the legal issues and resigned, they initially refused to pay my notice period, only relenting after I threatened legal action. I never heard from my line manager after receiving the dismissal notice, and still haven’t to this day—no goodbyes, no communication—just a company that consistently leaves people on bad terms. The company has a high turnover and had previously seemingly fired people for taking time off due to illness. Management is disorganised, and there’s no respect/trust to their junior staff who are perfectly capable.
