Re: suspended

What exactly have you been accused of?

Because of the fluid nature of your first post it is difficult to understand entirely.

I will try and get this right.

1) you are accused of taking longer breaks than you are entitled to. Is that right?

2) You have been accused of buying items that were reduced by putting them aside for yourself. is that right?


You are currently suspended pending an investigation or disciplinary hearing?

I think you said investigation was carried out but what questions did they ask of you and did you make any response or admit to anything?

Re: suspended

Ok, so the issue of lateness is irrelevant so that is good.

Right let's get to the nitty gritty: What does the supermarket's own policy state with regards to putting things aside for later purchase?

Furthermore, were the items lowered by more than the supermarket's policy dictates, ie after a certain time reduce by 10% and it was reduced by more than that amount?

Keep calm btw. One of my friends didn't eat either due to the stress of it all but remember we are trying to unravel what is happening in your case.

hello ......on my disciplinary notes on the last page it states that today you have admitted to misuse of company time in reguard to shopping procedures and break times for this reason this is will be going forward to a disciplinary hearing the level of disciplinary is gross-misconduct and this is because it is a act so serious we no longer have enough trust or confidence to be maintained you will still be suspension until your disciplinary hearing will take place ,,,


what it says in my hand book
(1) failure to follow the shopping at work policy may amount to disciplinary offence and may results in a disciplinary action being taken ,
(2)i can not find anything in the hand book about misuse off breaks ,
(3) the reduced food that i brought was a first reduced .........(but i did buy reduced items on the 28 dec 2013, for 10pence but this was still in date and left on the shelf and there was lots off this items still on sale )i thought they where pre-reduced because there was so much reduced over christmas period .

i know i am in the wrong and have admitted what i have done and i am very sorry i have also explained that i have had a lot off family problems since the end off november 2013 and maybe i wasnt thinking when i done this but i know this is still no excuse on my part but its the truth ,,i cant even remember what i done some days , this company has made me feel i am a bad person and i am hoping i will get my job back and people can trust me ,,, thanks smithandthat i hope i have made more sense because i find it hard to explain things as i can get my words mixed up my brain whats to do one thing but i just cant get it out thanks for taking the time to read this smithandthat
