  • Bullied into making a secret recording as my only defence.

    I work in sales, in a target driven environment. I started the year well, Jan 100% plus, Feb 100% plus, March 58%, the rest of the year to date averaging 94% I thought I was doing well with many sales people below me. In March I was put on a pap ( personal action plan) and assured it was merely a tool to get me up to 100%. I know that other people below me did not go on a pap. Two and a half months later I receive my second written warning!

    In fear I was being bullied out of the company, I took a secret recording device to my second hearing. I left it recording whilst I left the room for my employers to deliberate my fate. Even though I had shown improvement and there were sales people below myself, I was still given a second written warning. The recording showed me how little I was regarded by my manager and he fed lies to his manager to say I had to go and he did not want to spend any time in helping me, it was as if my fate was decided by the flip of a coin! It is interesting to note that they were trying to balance me not going on the sick with depression, as in their words " it would be a ----ing nightmare!

    I have appealed this 2nd written warning and plan to expose the manager who is bullying me with many examples to show. My question is, do I reveal the recording or leave it for a possible tribunal as I feel I can no longer work for this man knowing his true motives to remove me!

    Can any body advise, is the recording frowned upon, or can it be used as defence?

          I was advised to tape all meetings and so were my two friends who also got the sack at the time, we were all recording covertly the investigation meetings, disciplinaries and appeal. This was a number of years ago but it looks like the recording methods are the only ones that have changed (I ran out of tape when a meeting lasted over three hours ).
