Re: Gross misconduct

I put all the salient points I think are necessary for now. And if someone takes my first post and twists it to 'what gives you the right to dictate..' etc then I don't think it's my manners that need addressing. Anyway...I can probably get the answers I need from the union and/or proper lawyers and I can't be bothered to wade through other peoples' need to scold and play the moral high ground game just right now. It's irritating. So I think that's all from me.

Don't forget to claim a refund of the subscription you didn't pay and don't let the door hit your arse as you leave.

If you're in a union, let them handle it. Why bother us with the consequences of your short temper and foul language?

Ahflibra, please refrain from insulting the other users, if you continue in this vein I shall place you on moderation. This goes for anyone else considering carrying on this barrage of rubbish.

Re: Gross misconduct

Sorry Saphire but the OP got my goat up writing about certain select people going to a place,was there a selection process there?.In history there was a well documented selection process once ,to an ignoramus like me this reminded me of that,Thanks again for support from INCA and as for fighting my own battles I have all my life I suppose in my ignorance I thought I was asking a question in first post

Re: Gross misconduct

Some months ago I attended a leaving party for a mate from work. After that, we went on elsewhere and unbeknown to me, another colleague (who had apparently been at the first do although I don't recall him) came with us. I don't like him and would never have gone if I'd known he was going. The venue we went to is a place where a select few people who know each other personally sometimes go and the other colleague has never been there before, to my knowledge. Also, nobody specifically invited him, he just followed. This ended up with verbals between us, with me asking him what he was doing there, him telling me to eff off and it descending from there. He then went back to the office and made a formal complaint about me, which has concluded that I harassed him. They are treating this as gross misconduct and are moving to dismiss me. The formal investigation is, I believe, flawed in a number of respects. For example, a number of conclusions it has reached are leaps of imagination rather than evidence-based. I can give more detail if necessary. I have worked for this employer for 4 years. I am in a union and they are surprised this is being treated as gross misconduct, their diagnosis is that it should be 'minor' or 'serious' at worst. The employer is following all the necessary steps to ensure fair dismissal, however, what was a row in the pub with him telling me to eff off and me admittedly being set off by that due to booze and calling him a d*ckhead and telling him to get out. Is that really gross misconduct?

Some other information that may be relevant. This man also accused me of saying some stuff to him that is let's just say, illegal, which has been categorically disproved by the investigation. He should face some sort of disciplinary for doing that? Also, at no point have I been suspended. Finally, I have a recognised (under the EA) mental illness that the employer is aware of and in fact, I suffered a 6 week absence last year due to it. My GP recommended reasonable adjustments which my employer was big enough and flexible enough to accommodate but did not. Instead they put me on notice of dismissal then, too, for medical incapacity reasons.

Hi

What happens outside of work, unless it brings work into disrepute or creates an issue which affects the security of the business (ie, being found guilty of theft, when the job involves handling the company's money or stock), should be exactly that - outside of work & none of their business.
This is quite possibly an Article 8 HRA issue - right to a private life!

What? - did I miss something?

Re: Gross misconduct

Inca

walesman you made me want to reach for the sick bucket when you thanked inca for her support in chat box get yourself some backbone you had a go at a first time poster and they had a go back take it on the chin any decent person would have said to inca I know you meant we'll but I can fight my own battles and to inca why you back on the thread said you were leaving it earlier is it because you have gang and can only fight in gangs you have proved my point don't you think

Oh you tiresome little turnip,,you have gone out of your way to get my attention,,now you have it...so what exactly do you want?(apart from my departure from LB which we both know isn't going to happen btw)..I don't know you,have no need to know you so I'm at a loss as to why you persist putting petty little posts about 'gangs'
To see 'chatbox' one must be VIP ........is your behaviour toward other VIPs showing LB in a good light?
Kindly cease and desist from your unwanted advances towards me and hopefully our paths will only cross when giving sensible salient advice or asking questions on threads.I hope this post brings matters to a mutually agreeable solution,,if not then I will have no choice but to refer this case to Celestine/Sapphire as Site Owner and Admin.
Thankyou.
