eddy Posted February 16, 2021 Share Only saw your post now. Constructive dismissal is not as easy to prove as people believe and case law is relatively thin on the ground compared to retrenchment/misconduct etc. Do not resign at all. Hang in however hard it is and I do understand that is easier said than done. This is NOT legal advice but the comments from an experienced labour lawyer I chatted to. Apparently, you carry the onus in a constructive dismissal case (that means you have to prove all the elements of constructive dismissal) and as Red Robin correctly says that is very difficult. Apparently, in almost all cases it is better to hang in there and if they do terminate your employment, you bring a unfair labour dispute/dismissal claim and the onus is now on them. (i.e. THEY have to prove the dismissal was fair). Apparently, this is a much better option, but join Solidarity as you thought of, and get them to fight on your behalf. In the meantime, do not resign but keep good notes of all interactions (keep a diary) and f*ck them up if they fire you.

Stretch Posted February 16, 2021 Share @Cois I'm just here to say I'm thinking of you. You going through a helluva lot with work now being anything but supportive. I honestly don't know how people like that can wake up in the morning and look at themselves. Hold strong just like you have been Edited February 16, 2021 by Stretch BigDL, Andrew Steer, Cois and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/179564-diagnosed-with-stage-4-cancer-the-long-winding-road-it-has-become/page/68/#findComment-3770337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Spin Posted February 16, 2021 Share Cois, I'm reading through the 69 pages of your life and I have tears in my eyes. Life is the most beautiful place and even in the darkest places it holds so many wonders for you. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Stay strong friend.

Cois Posted March 17, 2021 Share Morning all Sorry, been a little busy the last month. Chemo is going well. My hands and feet are still taking a hammering, and blood pressure is sky high even with medication. But this far it is not to bad. I can't cycle at the moment (due to my feet). I am not on crutches anymore so that is good as well, as I can move a lot faster without the help of the alu brothers on my side. And it sure makes getting out my car much easier (people have no respect for disabled parking users as they try to park as close to you as they can) All in all things are looking good. Will keep this fight going as long as I can.

Cois Posted March 23, 2021 Share This is going to be a big ask.... Does anyone have a contact that will sponsor me with a Kickr smart trainer? I have made peace that I would not be able to cycle for a long time due to passing out at random times. So I could be on a cycle path with death leading me away, and no one would know.

Both my parents fought this horrible disease so in very small way I know the challenges you are going through. I’ll get the ball rolling and I’ll put R2500 into the “Get Cois a kickr” pot!

Cois Posted March 23, 2021 Share How much ronds does the thing cost?Do you have an eye on any specific model?I have no idea to be honest sir. I will have to use it with my Mountain bike. I only know of the Kickr range because one of my friends used his to train. But I have no idea what to look for to be honest. I have a spinning bike, but I can't move the thing around. The last time I tried I tore open my scar. So I need something that is light that I or Reinet can move. The main goal is to get on a bike in our house (we have a very small rental so space is a huge issue). I can feel my fitness slipping and with the new meds I can't go cycling outdoors. At home if I fall or pass out, Wilgers Hospital is 3 minutes away. On the bike... That time can increase to an hour.
