I'm pointing out a discrepancy - which is not disingenuous at all. I was thinking maybe I was being pedantic to count the non-term time holiday as part of the notice time, but now that I think about - it's a bit disingenuous of YOU to try to whip up sympathy by saying its 2 weeks notice, when actually now you're implying yes, it's 8 weeks. At least be honest and say they gave them 8 weeks notice - and then make your argument that for a business of this size it's still not enough time. Also what is all this skullduggery around who said what to whom and why no one can know, but if you know you know, and if you'd don't, shut it? Honestly, I was very sympathetic and thought they should have got more notice, but now, whatever! GL!
