I guess my employer has the upper hand on this but I thought I would check with forum members.
I was recently passed over for promotion despite being the longest serving and most experienced member of the team and a younger guy got the post.
It was all done quite secretly and when I found out, it had already happened.
I complained but was told that it was the decision of our division's big boss in the US, so basically tough luck.
Feeling quite cheesed off by this episode I applied for and got a good position within another division of the same company.
Everything appeared to be going well for my transfer, then at the last minute I was told that the same guy in the US has blocked me leaving his department.
So blocked from promotion and blocked from transferring to another post - even though the other department fought quite hard to get me.
I guess this is commonplace in the US with their relaxed employment laws, but I was wondering whether I have got any legal claim to this being unfair in the UK?
Obviously we have no union
Thanks
