CMS,
This is regarding your hypocritical attitude, after all check your own site where you blatantly try to entice others to ditch their existing employers. Believe it or not it makes you no better to get new employees and contracts this way than you are painting Peter. Difference is according to the time you have in the industry you should really know better.

Have you built up a good working relationship with your existing cleaners whether or not they are employed by you directly or by another Cleaning Contractor?
Legislation exists to protect these employees if you want to appoint Cleaning and Maintenance Services Limited as your Cleaning Contractor.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 will allow the employee to transfer their employment to Cleaning and Maintenance Services Limited with no loss of benefits and continuation of service.
Not everyone qualifies of course under the existing legislation. However if you want to keep your existing cleaning staff but think that they could benefit from better management we will be sympathetic to your wishes.
After all you have done nothing for their business, maybe you deserve your own contracts and to be dealt with honourably by your own staff but really aren't you just a little hypocritical in your viewpoint and extreme aggression to Peter. If not stop trying to poach what others have worked hard to develop - their team of cleaners and supervisors.
In any business there is an unspoken law, even if it is in a contract, that it is just not done to take employees with you when you leave a company. You leave the contracts and employees with the company that employed them. Saying that there are a number of huge household name companies whose leaders have taken other key players along with them upon resignation. but I suppose its okay because they've become the good and the great. Or perhaps you should point your hatred and scorn to them.
There is another old maxim that people do business with those they like, its not the whole saying, but hard to imagine you being the caring likeable type. While Peter might have made a mistake in judgment by stating about the possiblity of taking employees, but not the cleaning contract, you have lost all understanding of human nature and have extremely negative feedback. This of course could have been delivered with tact and would thus ensure that others such as Peter would not even contemplate taking what they haven't worked for.
Regards to all/
