The post you are reporting:
Tit-for-tat, kiss and tell stories etc. do not make good relationships, but just so you all know:
I worked for over 4 months for two reasons: one, because I really loved the job and enjoyed the responsibility of helping the businesses in many ways and devising and developing initiatives and projects that would help move Dover forward.
The second reason and perhaps secondary, was because I was led to believe that there would (eventually) be a salary.
Basically, the concern was that I didn't have enough businesses join up; the job of recruiting would have been so much easier if I had been able to write articles for the Press on the projects and initiatives I had been working on, I could also have promoted those newly recruited business in the papers. It was not Chamber policy to allow this, so I asked for change.
I had written to the Chamber Board of Directors about it and this is what they took umbrage about and was in fact, eventually, the cause of the sacking.
It will I'm sure be said, that I refused to sign the contract because the salary was just £9,500 and that is the reason I am not the DBS Manager anymore, but that is not true; I was sacked on Wednesday evening.
If I knew that I would get the agreed salary (or close to it) sometime in the near future, I would have been happy to carry on without pay for another month or so, but I wasn't given the opportunity.
