I believe I am going to lose my job tomorrow for allegations of gross misconduct.
I have been accused of bringing cannabis into the workplace and placing it in a colleague's bag during working hours. I placed a pouch of tobacco in his bag, which he was unaware of as he was on the phone at the time (I work in a call centre).* My employer is basing this on the fact I had exchanged money earlier in the day with said colleague and that we have admitted to discussing purchasing cannabis earlier in the day so he thought that is what* I put in his bag.I have not been presented with any evidence that cannabis was found in the bag or any proof that I have put it there beyond a statement from my colleague where he said he believes that's what it was. Will this be enough to warrant an instant dismissal?
