I just want to explode.. the company that both Ric and I worked for for 17 years, have handled Rics death and aftermath in such a shambolic way it's beyond belief. And even today, 8 months on, they still can't get it right. After he died, I was sent a condolence letter from the Chief Executive, who referred to Ric as my husband - we were never married, we had different surnames. After he died they sent a letter congratulating him on his bonus. After he died ( 5 months after) they wrote to him telling him that as he had left the company on the 2nd May ( he actually died on the 3rd) he wasn't entitled to buy shares, with the money he has saved in the company's sharesave scheme. He was DEAD. Then today, they have written to our old address where we worked, where neither of us live, to his personal representative, which is me, regarding his shares, but the company know I moved out 4 months ago.
I've already raised a grievance which my union rep is dealing with on my behalf; but it makes me so ****** angry, like I'm going to erupt. If I told you the rest of how we've been treated (including our son) you'd be horrified. Grief is enough without this on top. When this is all over, I will tell my story one day.
