I was doing my job exactly the way I've been told to do and something went wrong. I have NO worries about my continued employment, I will absolutely run rings around any disciplinary hearing etc that they may convene. I've been suspended till the middle of next week (with pay) for the first stage of the process (an investigation interview or such like to occur) which is fine by me. Now, my employers operate a third party service over several local, separate sites for a multinational.
In the meantime pictures of said incident have floated around social media posted by various colleagues, none of which have anything to do with the incident, most, but not all of whom work on other sites, and, more importantly, none of whom know the facts in question. I knew this kind of thing could be likely & had blocked any "tagging" or linking of my profiles to these images.
The person I have been told will carry out the initial investigation responded to some of these postings, I can't quote word for word as I viewed this on my smart phone whilst laying in bed. The post was (in my view) relatively fair but misguided. For me it clearly showed that this person was no longer capable of carrying out an independent investigation. I have screen grabs of earlier messages but not of that particular one (I was in bed), many of which have now been removed.
Several of these posters are far from what I'd consider friends and I have no qualms at all about causing them mischief in terms of breaching dignity at work type codes. Though they didn't mention my name (as far as I'm aware) on public forums, my name will clearly have been linked to the event on the grapevine. Sharing private messages and pictures amongst themselves is one thing, public postings on social networks is in my view a form of harassment.
I'd have no qualms about engaging in a "different type of conflict resolution" but, as most of them would struggle to get an equivalent job elsewhere, I'd actually like to do as much damage to these individuals as possible and maybe try and cause several of them to lose their employment. Harsh I know but this had F... ALL to do with them, was none of their business and, unless they were paying for this incident, should have kept their opinions to themselves.
Can anyone guide me on rejecting the initial interview? (I'm yet to receive notification but have been told it's coming in the post). Using a lack of independence on the proposed interviewers part? Ultimately I've already got them by the balls, as I've said I will run rings around them with regard to the incident itself, I now wish to :
1) maximise the time I'm absent from work with pay, in the first instance rejecting their initial interview due to bias
2) penalise the big mouths who felt the urge to "trap off"
3) get a public (within the work place) "acquittal" (struggling for words here) absolving me of all blame for the incident.
