Sage reviews

I left after 3 weeks, on good terms, because the job wasn’t as advertised. But, nothing during my time there convinced me this wasn’t a company in crisis. I never even received a contract during my 3 weeks within the company. I was told this was due to “admin issues”, and the contract was coming, but I found the whole experience bizarre considering I was a permanent employee. Every other company I’ve worked for, I’d signed the contract before I even started, but they were trying to convince me that it was normal to be 3 weeks into a job without a contract........and it’s part of the reason I left so quickly. I would have probably stuck it out for a year or so, if I was under contract, but not having signed anything gave me an easy exit. Even more problems after leaving, unfortunately. I never received my final salary payment.........and this was right before Christmas when I was really relying on being paid. I e-mailed HR three times about this and they just ignored me. I ended up e-mailing one of the directors for the division I worked for, asking what the hell was going on, and he tried to convince me this was completely normal as well....... I mean, am I going crazy? Or is it completely normal for a company to not produce contracts for new employees, and also not pay them!? Maybe I’m speculating too much, but something is very wrong with this business. They appear to be struggling to survive, financially, during COVID. Be careful.
