Hi all
I have recently been dismissed after 3 months of service for gross misconduct I have previously had no dispinarys beforehand. I thought it would be best not hand my notice in as id already been placed as guilty before having the knowledge of the "allegations" are. I was just explained that I had been suspended on full pay untill they was investigation meeting which will decide that I need a disciplinary or not. However I was actually guilty of it and they was quite right to do so. I admitted this in the dispinary hearing and investigation meeting. During my induction programme I found that other staff where doing the same thing as I was dismissed for. And because I was in a care home. I questioned this on many occasions and they said it was fine because the service users understand that you are having a laugh and they like it when you do. The service user did take this as a joke but they was confused because I am normally really professional and it was one general slip up. I have 2 plans for my future look for a job outside of care as I have plenty of experience in a mixture of jobs atay there a while and prove that I am very able to be professional or plan 2 find another job in care explain what happened. ( It said on my dismissal letter I was very regretful of my actions) which is true and i have generally learnt from my mistakes. I have appealed and explained what happened in a more detailed manner and still waiting for reply but my appeal is putting a clear understanding towards them that I don't want to be reinstated just for it to be lessened on my record. Anyway thank you in advance.
