You may need a drink and some time.
This a looooong one, I know, but it has been much needed for a long time, and I've had to wait until this time to do it, which is explained in the vlog.
This last six months really has been tough, horrible in some ways and had an effect on everything. Our holiday in February, and my 50th birthday and our 10th wedding anniversary, all have been in this last six months too and were all therefore affected.
This is my sign in the road.

Down to earth veganism with Paul & Jason. We're a married couple from Manchester who love to share our passion for vegan living with recipes, reviews, chats, fitness, fun and the odd appearance of our cat Isis.
Although we started this channel in 2015 it wasn't really until late 2017 that we started to work hard at it, due to things outside of our control. Now, in 2019, this channel has our full attention and we have splashed out on the right equipment and software to enable us to make great content.
We'd love a like and a subscribe, of course.
Thanks so much for taking a look.
Paul & Jason. xx

I honestly don't enjoy making videos like this. I'm a hippy with utopian aspirations at the core. This, however, was much needed. The last couple of years have been one thing after another, and what I outline in this has been the icing on a foul and pestilent cake. This was a long awaited purge. Glad I had a chance to do it. x
Such a loss for the service users. I hope all goes well at the tribunal 💖
I can’t believe you’ve had this hanging over you for 6 months. Absolutely awful.
You’re a kind soul who deserved none of that. Despite the way they treated you, you remained the better person. Hold your head up high, Paul. Your integrity is intact x
Thank you lovely. ♥️
What a horrible year you have had! Only knowing you through 'Those Vegan Guys', it is obvious how gentle and caring you are and how determined you are to stand up for what you believe to be right. Not that I know anything about it, but please be careful not to jeopardise your tribunal by divulging too much too soon x
It's been a great year RUclips wise, in fact all of this has kept me going, kept me focused on being creative and been a much needed distraction. Thank goodness we have it. Thank you. x
I always think something dodgy is going on when family members are allowed to work together. I studied social care and one of the first things we were tought was that family working together is not good practice because family will always cover for family even in bad cases of abuse. This definitely sounds to me like bullying and defamation of character. I am rooting for you to get justice Paul. No wonder you have been suffering with anxiety and stress. I think the worst bit of all of this is that they dared accuse you of assault and aggression. I only know you through your videos but I can tell you are a pacifist and a gentle and mild mannered soul. Keep fighting paul. Don't let them win. 😘😘😘
Tgajmj you Kellie. Bless ya, commenting from your holiday. Have a gorgeous time. X
oh Paul, this is utterly shocking. just from watching your videos you can tell right away the type of person you are, caring, passionate, you stand up for people, and what you believe in, an you take no shit. you absolutely did the right thing by speaking up, and i'm so proud that you did, so many don't. i'm gonna keep everything crossed for 2/10. much love and respect for you hun xx
Thanks so much sadie. X
what a shocking way that you have been treated,can tell that this as hurt you deeply and I hope you get your day to put this right.i am a fulltime carer for my partner who has dementia so I can see how somebody with your personality and caring nature would be wonderful around people with this horrible condition.be safe as always my friend.
We had no idea mick, and know how tough that can be. Thanks for your post as always. You're amazing, all carers are. 😁
I've sadly been in a similar situation - lies being thrown here and there because I disagreed, made a point of standing for what's right, fighting for what is right (and I mean legally right!). No one tells you what a huge conflict such a false accusation, the lying, the bullying, the gaslighting at the workplace can have on a person. It's 6 years on for me and honestly, though I 'cleared my name', the wounds are still fresh. Please know you did the right thing, being a person of integrity is what matters. Those people won't be able to look themselves in the mirror. But you will, and you will walk with your shoulder back, head up high, knowing you are a good, decent, friendly, hard-working person.
This is such a horrendous abuse of power and control. Shame on them. So sorry you ever had to deal with this. Screwing with the vulnerable is unforgivable.
Sending hugs to you Paul. It's disgusting how they treated you.
Thank you Sarah. x
So sorry you went through this with that Trunchbull monster. If I ever end up in a care home I hope someone like you is looking after me. You're an angel and wouldn't hurt a fly and anyone with half a brain can see that.
❤❤❤❤
Love to you, Paul. They're despicable. I experienced similar in my old job, donkeys years ago, but I did nothing about it. Even had a Unison rep tell me not to put my head above the parapet. So good on you for sticking up for yourself, takes ball, that.
As for them, I hope they get what's coming to them.
Better times are coming for you, never doubt it x 💖
Thank you lovely. X
I'm so sorry I'm only commenting on this now as I've been spending time watching your past videos to hear all about this. You are incredible! I mean really honestly, so much respect for you Paul for standing up to work bullies, it happens far too often and I too have been the victim. Being bullied at work changes you and well done for teaching people you don't have to stand for it and to speak up! You never cease to amaze!
Wow big hug to you my friend, think the world needs more people like you Paul who stands up for the most vulnerable among us. Dont ever change either you are who you are, your qualities as the kind human being are obviously a threat to some.
xxxxxxxx
Thank you Nicola. X
I’m so sorry this happened to you Paul. Keep your chin up and carry on regardless. Hope everything turns out ok in the end for you sweet guy ❤️xx
Jeez sounds like l couple of bosses I've had. If your face doesn't fit or if you stand up to something that is basically wrong in the system they'll twist thinks and get rid of you. You did what you know was right and the fault is with them. It's so sick. That's why I'll never be an employee again. You're not alone Paul. Xx
Hi Paul.
I have been through something similar. I honestly think healthcare settings are like witches covens. People who are supposed to be kind and caring team up in gangs to see someone's downfall.
I am 8 years post events and identify with nearly everything you say, particularly your friends and colleagues being told to keep away and not communicate.
I had a flawless career of 25 years, had never been in trouble or involved in substandard care yet I was treated like dirt.
Tbh, glad to be out of it all now as I have a dear friend who works in a similar situation and tells me stuff like this is STILL going on and people are taking their lives because of it.
If you ever feel like a chat, please contact me. I hope you get it all sorted out. X
Hi Paul. Well done for posting this video, I'm sure it was very cathartic. Both Victoria and I have had similar experiences, her with an employer and me with a community voluntary role. Hang in there and fight until the end, the truth will out and whatever the outcome, you can sleep at night knowing that you have not compromised your integrity by giving in to the playground bullies!
Sorry you've both experienced similar. Sucks doesn't it. Thanks Tom, love to you both.
Dear Paul, I was so shocked and upset when I heard your story but I’m afraid I wasn’t surprised. I went through something just as horrific with government workplace. Seven year later and it still affects me. I wish you all the best and stay strong 💪 my love xxx
sorry you had to go through this mate you are such a nice soul and I love it when you share with us , I hope you never have to deal with such mean people again , take good care of your health both mental and physical (you mentioned you had a cigarette i really hope you consider quitting smoking at some point ) , lots of love paul !
It's on the cards. Thank you lovely. x
I understand how horrible it is to find yourself in a job you enjoy, only for it to turn sour. Good for you for standing up for yourself. x
So sorry you've been treated so badly. I was once bullied by a senior member of staff many years ago and it's still painful to think about., but I'm much stronger now and don't let the buggers get away with it any more. Chun up chuck!
Disgusting, you said it best. Thank you for sharing your story Paul. Terrible the way it happened. I can't imagine you being so underappreciated. There's bound to be something amazing for you, even if it is as a RUclips superstar 😁 wishing you all the best.
Superstar might be too much, but we'll settle for a popular and interesting channel with honesty and integrity. 😉 Many thank yous.
Good morning those vegan guys channel, hello Paul, Now, yesterday 27th February 2022, in the evening time, I watched this video as it came up on my RUclips feed, and I was curious with the thumbnail, so I clicked on it, and it is sad to hear your story, however, I found out you seem to be a natural comedian, when you said “ this is how the lady sister ceo spoke to you, and gave a impersonation, I could not help but chuckle so hard, I thought I would split my torso yesterday but thank you for this laughter as I know laughter is a good medicine and if one cannot laugh, they will cry I guess, so thanks for giving me a good laugh, although, you may not have meant to come across in this way, I guess for me, I needed a good laugh and found that in your video, yesterday, thank you for the laughter you seem so naturally be able to give others.
Also, when you said, she was from the West Midlands, I felt a little disappointed as not everyone that lives or works in the area is bad, but mostly I feel sorry that you had to go through this, but I am sure you have learnt a lot of lessons along the way, and it has given you more resilience in some way, especially when you go back into the world of work some day.
Lastly, thank you for sharing your amazing video diaries with the world, and your video contents week by week, I feel so privileged to be a part of your clan, so to speak and many blessings go out to you and your family.
👍👍👍 perfect.
So one thing I picked up on was them complaining to Jason's work. Did Jason or his place of work make a complaint against them for this? Unless he was speaking as a representative for his place of work (so basically if he spoke from a Facebook page of his work or if he said on behalf of the company he worked for) then they were making a personal attack on him and questioning his freedom of speech. Even if it didn't get him into trouble, they may have illegally acted by getting in touch with his employers if he was not representing them. It's definitely something that could help your case as well as holding them accountable.
I've had a lot to do with this. I was once a part of a union and worked for them. Get them for everything you can so they have little to fight back about!
That's all good to know. He was posting from his personal facebook, nothing to do with his job. Thanks for your help today. Much appreciated. 😀
@@ThoseVeganGuys In that case they committed a crime by contacting his employer unless they worried his comment would be a danger to anyone in his work or abused his position. This is very difficult in the UK to do to someone, he would basically have threaten violence against someone he directly works with for his work to be involved. This is very serious. Jason definitely should consider taking action against them for this as they're basically trying to silence him from free speech. A VERY serious thing they've done.
No problem at all! Anytime!
@@SuperButters90 f
On a lighter note 14:20 the voice is so funny I couldn't help but laugh "you caaaan't do that paaaauuulll".
Wow, this is just disgusting, how dare they, as a person who works with vulnerable older adults I can honestly say that you are exactly the kind of advocate and support person needed to keep people safe and look after their wellbeing. You would be such an asset in this field of work and I’m sorry you’ve had such a dreadful experience. Sadly a part of your heart will always be scarred by this but rest assured that you are a shining light and a truly beautiful human being. ❤️
Thank you Sharon. X
Thank you for sharing your story Paul.
Listening to what happened did not surprise me in the slightest and you were thrown under the bus to deflect attention from the ineptitude of those running the place and that it was failing.
I’ve previously had a 15-year career in the public sector and they roll in a very similar way. They don’t like to be questioned and if you complain or stand up for yourself then you can get ready. I learned very quickly that the useless ones get promoted above their ability and to put the problem on someone else. If I was ever summoned ‘for a meeting’ I never went alone and asked for stuff in writing - which, not surprisingly, never appeared! I think the phrase ‘go along to get along’ applies in a lot of organisations but bugger that, I applaud you for speaking up.
Keep strong and your head held high. You’re a good person. And I’m a big believer in Karma. They will have their day.
Lotsa love n stuff ❤🌱
You're very confident and virtuous Paul, great to hear how you stood up to the smear campaign against you - and nice accents
Love you guys :) Discovered your channel last week when the Hench Herbivore mentioned you in a video :) Massive support from Canada x0x0x
Thanks so much Papabear. 😁
19:38. When you said “Tuesday morning” how did I guess what was coming....?! Unbelievable. How these people gang up and cover up for each other when one of their employees dare speak out.
Seen it before, experienced it before, and unfortunately it seems that it happens regularly now, often to the people who care about their jobs most. The people who won’t put up and shut up, the people who won’t bite their tongue when unfairness reigns in a workplace.
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been thru all of this, I know it was a while back now but I also know what kind of awful effect it can have on someone. Very much appreciate you sharing.
I'm glad you're out of there! It's really poor that a charity supposedly in existence to promote well being, would behave so badly. I even considered a job with my local Age UK, and actually opted for the more poorly paid job (working with the homeless) as they had so many applicants. So much hiding behind a good name. You're obviously still affected by such a horrible experience, but you're definitely moving forward. It's absolutely them, not you. You keep being your lovely self! We like you just as you are xxxx
Thank you Wolf Spear. I'd say you had a lucky escape. 👍
So sorry you had to deal with this Paul 💔 it's clear that you're not that kind of person and that you're kind and compassionate. It's crazy to think the people who are running these places can have so little morals and empathy. I really hope your case goes okay and you receive justice ❤️
Many thanks Hannah. x
I am so sorry to hear everything that you went though during your time there. The lives of carers and support workers in the UK is already difficult enough, without all this ridiculous red tape, nepotism and childish politics going on.
It’s scenarios and systems like this that are the reason the care system fails its users and also fails to attract the best people for the job. Thank you for being such a decent, kind, caring human who, by the sounds of it, was bloody fantastic at his job. We need more people in society like you who are willing to speak up for the weak and not bow down to bullies and egotistical maniacs. Unfortunately, it’s often these types of people who sit at the top of these systems and run establishments into the ground. As well as chasing good people like yourself away.
Families in business and nepotism are, sadly, far more common than people realise. My own quick story - I once worked on the online marketing team of a small local retailer, as an SEO manager. Up until that point the business hadn’t been doing SEO so it was up to me to implement a strategy and guide them towards performing well in Google searches. The couple that owned the business seemed nice enough, but almost everyone in a position of authority at that place was in some way a relative - be it their niece, sister in law, cousin, sibling etc etc. It was honestly ridiculous.
Several months went by of me doing my job and, from what I thought, I did it rather well. The owner of the company seemed to like me and respect my input and was happy with the work I was doing. His niece though, who was the head of the online marketing team (my team), never seemed to have much time for me and tried to give me other inane tasks to do instead of letting me do my job. She was barely ever in the office, so when she wasn’t there I would get on with what I’d been hired to do and then when she was there she’d give me other things to do. As the business was having a new website built, it was part of my job as the SEO exec to give feedback on the designs to the agency and offer suggestions on how to make it more SEO-friendly. The head of the online marketing team (owner’s niece) didn’t have a clue about SEO or anything I was saying, and I can’t be too sure, but I think it used to irk her that I was able to get involved in some of the major decision making and offer knowledge and expertise that clearly outshone her own.
One random day, out of nowhere, I was called into the owner/CEO’s office where he told me he had to let me go. His niece (my team manager), was present but said absolutely nothing, which I thought was very strange. He said that their parent company had offered them an employee from their own office to cover all of the SEO responsibilities, for which they wouldn’t have to pay a salary, and that it was “purely business” why he was letting me go. Not wanting to seem immature or overly emotional I simply accepted it and left.
A week or so later, I found out he was hiring a freelancer to cover my job a few hours per week. So either his reason for sacking me had fallen through or it was complete BS. I’m still not sure to this day whether it was a way to save money or if it was something more underhanded, but the head of the online marketing team had always been highly untrustworthy in my book and it was extremely odd the way it all came about, and the suddenness of it all. I can’t be 100% sure, but the lack of real explanation has always left me thinking that she had a lot to do with it and it was purely personal on her part.
Anyway, just wanted you to know that you are not alone in being a victim of this awful nepotism we see in the world! I wish you the best of luck with all your future roles Paul, and I hope you have since gained justice for this awful, unfair experience. Anywhere will be lucky to have you so keep your chin up - there are good people and good places to work, and you will find one. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
New viewer to your channel guys really feel for you Paul x hope thing go ok for yourself x
Stay strong because truth and integrity are on your side 💚🌱
Indeed. Thank you. X
I agree everything you have said and I believe both, also I am so very very sorry for you Paul and your husband, I'm send all the luck in the world and they get what they deserve, love you both. Xx
Much love. x
@@ThoseVeganGuys thank you but you really need that's why I sent it to you both, good luck for the rest. Xx
Wow terrible stuff! So glad you can be you regardless the circumstances. I was set up then fired than had to fight for unemployment. I let all the owners know what was going on and it wasn't appreciated. This was a You tube suggestion am glad as now I know
I got told it wasn't working out for me in a care position years ago. Strangely after I reported a member of staff to a manager for throwing cold water over a blind client. Week later manager called me in office and said staff were saying I wasn't pulling my weight etc (untrue) and that although he thought it unfair he had been told to give me my notice. I was young so I just handed in my notice before they could sack me and left. I think these sort of situations are rife within the care industry. This happened to me 30 years ago
Thanks for sharing. x
I finally got the time once Ally fell asleep early hours, to watch this as I wanted to tune in at a time where I could really give it the quality time it deserved.
To begin with I'd like to take this moment to tell you that I am so sorry that you have been treat the way you have, you have been terribly wronged by your ex employers they should be ashamed and utterly disgusted with themselves.
You are a kind, funny, caring young man with a heart of gold, you didn't deserve any of this, thier behaviours shocking, and I hope they are brought down a peg or two and the scales of justice are re balanced again as that most definitely needs to proved then acted upon in October.
Paul, I hope you feel proud, of who you are, and of the kindness you share with others, because you stood up for (and still are) standing up for those you were looking out for at work, and bless you for that.
As a mum of a vulnerable adult myself I'd like to take this opportunity to say ty so much for being YOU it gives me joy and hope to know that the people who truly CARE in this world (people like you) are allowed to do just that CARE ❤️ Lors x
Thanks lovely. X
Right back atcha lovely, YOU ROCK! TY for being you x
Paul, Sorry to hear you have had this happen to you.....The C.E.O of AGE UK appears to have created a position for her sister, unfortunately, “to fix” something that wasn’t broken in the first place as you said.... I hope all goes well for you at The Tribunal on October 2nd.😊 .......Take care of yourself ........
Thank you Geraldine. X
Paul I know I don't know you personally but the way you stood your ground for what you believe in is so right and so true there is no sugarcoated bullshit it's just purely honest best way to be and your type of person is my type of person the ones who have a good heart and strong moral values but losing a job for standing up for what you believe in is utterly wrong and it's like you helped that poor woman with a panic attack and apparently that's assault what bullshit and at the end of the day and this isn't me knocking care homes or charities like age UK but in other care homes they get treated badly and would be glad to have someone like you putting your foot down and being there to help, as some care homes and charities say they're there for service users and residents and then treat them like utter dirt at least you've got the good heart and the low tolerance to bullshit which id look for if I was looking to employ head high you know your truth
I support a chap who has MS He isn't all that great with women but i was all that was available. I'm very blokey with him with the banter etc I've been supporting him for 5years now. We have a great relationship !!! I'm self employed now because of the ridiculous behaviour of superiors in the care services. My heart goes out to you. It's their loss but unfortunately the clients have lost out big time 😟
Thanks Colette. x
Sadly paul this still goes on I worked in care for years if you don't fit they bully till you leave please take care 🤗🤗🤗
I saw & heard many things that were oh so wrong while my parents were in care, Mum was in several different ones so I learned it wasn't confined to one or two it was everywhere. There's bullying of both staff & service users, some entirely unsuitable sadistic people in so called 'care' positions. Hateful. Woe betide anyone brave enough to speak out.
Care homes tend to have few visitors but many (of the bad) staff don't realise the visitors they DO have can see & hear what's going on when they think nobody is looking.
That’s terrible, let’s hope they’re properly dealt with.
We can only hope. Thank you.
Those Vegan Guys I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t normally watch a video this long, but you told the story well and had me hooked the whole way. Be sure to post an update when the time comes.
Yep in this day and age if your not a yes man and dare to speak your mind they try to get rid. One of the reasons why I’m self employed!!!
And why we're trying desperately to be self employed too. So sick of working for people who don't actually do their jobs right but yield so much power.
How awful, hope it went OK in the October. Is there an update? Being able to whistleblow is essential! Xx
It didn't go great and took three years to conclude. Dismissed due to my time of employment
I've told management a few times what I've thought when they have been liked. Never get bullied in work it's not good.
I'm so sorry that all this has happened to you and that it's still not resolved. I used to be a secretary in a hospital. When you work in a place dealing with taking care of people, they are always the priority.
Dealing with people with dementia, you have to find a way to talk with them that doesn't put them on the defensive but also gets through to them to do what they need to. I haven't heard of anything in this video that explains why they dismissed you.
It's disgusting that they aren't putting the service users first anymore.
Isn't it. I'll fight on. :)
@@ThoseVeganGuys i hope that you are victorious because it certainly sounds like they just wanted you out and only wanted employees who would do as they were told and not question things.
I’ve followed you guys for a couple of years but only just watched this! It’s made me so sad and angry.
Im an experienced recruitment/ HR professional and this whole thing screams constructive dismissal. You would have more than enough grounds to sue them. Accusing you of assault with no grounds is absolutely abhorrent and potentially extremely damaging.
I hope you won the tribunal?
Sorry my comment is so late.
Sending you well wishes. I hope you’re now happy with a new company! X
It was dismissed from the tribunal due to my not being there a year. It was a very long and draining process
@@ThoseVeganGuys I’m so sorry to hear that :(
Karma will always prevail!
Technically speaking, yes, touching someone without asking their permission can be classed as assault, but a little thing called common sense usually comes into play. This is obviously because you spoke out.
So sorry to hear you've been through this🙏❤
Unfortunately Paul anyone who speaks out for the vulnerable are frowned upon. Not unlike veganism!!! Ahhh Paul that voice 😂 I’ve heard that voice before, It means fold up or shove off. Most people fold up. Your strong Paul. KARMA 😘
She definitely has it in for you! I feel sick for you right now, I am so so sorry you have had to go through this, I am not surprised you are fuming I am fuming just hearing this. This is just awful, you do something good for somebody and help them, and then you get something terrible thrown back at you.
I am shocked, and disgusting at this. Can't believe this is what you get for speaking your mind, and own opinions!
I actually think it's quite sick to falsely accuse you of something so so bad. I have been on the end of something similar not mentioning it, but some people are so evil and so cruel, and will do anything to get you out even down to sickly falsely accusing you of something you never did.
I hate to see you cry like this it has angered me. I am just glad you are ok now and away from that horrible place. God bless x
What an awful experience. I'll never understand how or why people can be such awful individuals. Good luck Paul XxX
Thank you. X
Paul, I just see this now... I think they are probably both failing liars... even if it is already a while ago... i bet, this still hurts... pls feel hugged 🤗
Hi Paul watched this all the way through then realised it is 4 years old! What happened with you case, did you win constructive dismissal?
The tribunal couldn't look past my emloyment time, just less than 12 months, so had to rule with that.
The biggest conflict of interest I've heard of in a while. Hopefully you can get through this and I hope you smash them in tribunal. The service users were being failed in my eyes. Absolutely ridiculous.
Cheers matty.
What a disgraceful way to run a business that is in the caring sector. People on power trips, that's not the job for them! I hope the tribunal goes well, and you can put it behind you x
Thank you. X
You have such a massive heart Paul, thank you for standing up for others ❤. Uhh, it's scary how narsistic people land these roles, the lies and rubbish things they do. Ughhh and probley homophobic as well, she has $$$ in her eyes but peoples well been mean nothing to her.
I have anixety as well.
It can be a struggle can't it Jayne. Much love and thank you. X
@@ThoseVeganGuys Oh they are everywhere and they put you through hell just to put you down. My heart goes out to you Paul, all the kind hearted people like yourself don't deserve to be treated like that, I hope justice comes your way and it's sounds like you have people to back you up, she won't win.
This is the first time I’ve actually been fully aware of the whole story.
How you were treated is absolutely disgusting. I feel so angry.
As I said In a previous post, I have been subjected to victimisation and bullying in the same setting as yours, the only difference is mine wasn’t a big nationwide organisation like yours; it was a very small organisation that relied on charity with just one building that only served our local community.
Hence the reason I decided I couldn’t take them to a tribunal as they wouldn’t have financially survived, they weren’t a large nationwide organisation such as yours.
I wanted to make the bastards pay but in my situation, it would have had an impact on the service users funds whether you taking your employment to a tribunal wouldn’t have.
I’ll never work in the care sector again after what they put me through.
One day when I find the strength I shall pen you a letter telling you my story and you’ll see the similarities. Where people with no real understanding of the job getting put in positions of power where it goes to their heads; they become monsters.
I’m so sad that you never got the outcome that you deserved.
Age U.K. shouldn’t be only responsible for the well being of their service users but they have a duty of care to their employees too.
Unfortunately it’s a similar story you’ll find in every care setting up and down the country. In terms of management the ‘care’ part in the sector seems to not exist.
Hold your head up high you beautiful human being. ❤️x
There is a good word for people like the CEO’s sister and the “You caaaaaan’t do that paaaaauuuuuulllll” woman... But we’re in polite company here 🙂
Hope you took them to court for unfair dismissal?
My Daughter Today Was Escorted Out Of The Building There.The Reason Was She Gave Two Weeks Notice Instead Of One And They Said She Had To Leave After One Week And Pay Back A Weeks Pay She Had Received.She Contacted Finance Saying She Wouldn't Pay So The Told Her To Leave Immediately
I believe I'm chatting to her right now on Facebook. The CEO enjoys marching people out, seems to be one of her things.
It Sure Does....Power Trip.....She Was Being In Her Mind Be Fair Giving Two Weeks Notice ..I'm Fuming Like You Was At The Time.....
You should've been running that place Paul ,the ceo sister sounds like a right twot.
Tell me about it Rachel. LOL xx
I know exactly how you felt....I'm a demantia carer 💕 great job love my job 💕love from chubby vegan sister from another mister lol 💕 xx
❤❤
Just watched this Paul. What a horrible situation for you and what disgusting people they are. You are such a loss to that place. Those kind of trumped up managers haven't got a clue how to handle people, and bringing her sister in sounds really dodgy. Not what you know but who you know. This has been hanging over you for a long time. Hope it's a good outcome from the recent tribunal. Freda xx
Forgot to clarify C.E.O. AGE UK Tameside ............. in my previous post 😊 .........
It seems like the management at Age UK Tameside don't know how to adapt. Its part of the role. The sister is just on a power trip, and for that CEO, love hiring family into an organisation that's not your own is a bad idea. I have watched a few videos, and I don't see how you can assult someone Paul. You dont have that personailty. I am glad your going through tribunal they cant carry on it affects service users in the long run. Keep your chin up, lovely. Things will work out.
❤❤

You informed people, you have done what you can, take the weight of your shoulders. Hope its a good outcome on 2/10.
Thanks Brian. :)
These hierarchical institutions run by arrogant psychopaths are the problem, not you Paul! The more people stand up for themselves, the quicker these inhuman constructions will fall!
One can only hope Russell. Thank you.
Ya what love 🇬🇧🇳🇺
How can they possibly be focused on providing quality care for their service users when they're so fixated on cover ups and who's talking to who? Disgraceful, I hope the outcome of the tribunal is in your favour and they are put firmly in their place!
Maybe things have changed since I worked in the UK, however having listened to your story I am left feeling that they seem rather unprofessional. If one disapproves of someone's conduct it is discussed privately verbal and written warnings may follow. You were dealing with people and not robots every person is different the management clearly didn't understand this, although it is confusing since you were previously praised for your proactive style of interacting with the people. I felt quite stressed listening to your account of what happened, management often fail to recognise or don't care how deeply staff care for the people they provide a service for on a daily basis. I am sure you are aware that often the pen pushers or bean counters don't like it when staff rock the boat. I wish you all the best ... Take care, sorry that this comment is a bit long ✋ x
Never apologise for long comments, they mean we're really communicating. Thank you. ♥️
Holy crap! They are both from the sounds of it (liars and failures). Just on the side - the HR guy who was on the board of another Age UK location should have recused himself and his company from assisting Tameside. Other than that - holy bloody hell! Ok. Out of words. *hugs*

You stuck for sen good for you. but she didn't like it at Hall so to you back in place she tuck to pick no you and bullying you showing you up and making things up wot a bi..
Yep she was out to get you for sure,it's sounds like constructive dismissal ,she's totally at fault ,probably jealous of your natural ability with the service users ,and of course is a raging homophobe .
That is exactly what it all felt like. She's a corporate mouthpiece, I'm a voice for the people. xxx
Wow.My blood's boiling just listening to you telling this story.I'd love to slap these people in the gob.I'm not a violent person,but still....
Totally get it. Thanks Bernadette. X
Your being very brave and owning your truth. What I say next comes from a good place but Paul I would get advice from your legal as to whether your vlog might adversely affect your case.
I think you have been very unfairly treated, working in a hostile environment, they went on to fail to follow disciplinary procedure and have grounds to hold them to account. My concern is that your giving them a chance to study your oral evidence. just look after you sweet cheeks you’ll have your day.. 🤣😂
Thanks Pauline, all in hand. :) x
I’m watching this and I’m so angry for you. Have these people never worked with dementia patients. You have to build up a repore with them geez 🤬😡
Exactly.
