Well thats it then,I expected the worst,as I said if you expect the worse and it happens then its no surprise,am I down? Am I thinking 'oh my God I am unemployed? Am I worried? The answer is NO,lol,you probably think I have lost it,poor woman it is the shock,but I haven`t,and why?Because I am going to have the last say in all of this.
I cannot believe how someone who is supposedly so well informed can make such stupid, crass and costly mistakes!
First mistake,I was informed that today was an appraisel,it turned into a disciplinery,it was always going to be one,they had even arranged cover as of today for my work.Now for it to be a disciplinery and for them to be able to do what they did ( suspended on full pay) they had to inform me in writing that it was a disciplinery and give me the choice of representation,they did not do either.
Mistake number two,continously throughout the conversation she said I dont believe you,I asked her if she was calling me a liar,she said I am saying I dont believe you.
Third mistake,and the biggest,not being able to prove that I was in any way negligent,knowing that what I had done would be upheld by a tribunal,knowing that they were lax in thier support of my situation,they have tried to get me on fraudelantly claiming wages for four hours worked when I left early.On two occasions I left work early without informing the area manager,but,last friday I worked six hours,they know I was at work,another manager phoned me in the morning,she then phoned in the afternoon,I had left early,she was the one that informed the woman that I saw this morning of that fact.The only thing is I didn`t claim for working at all last friday,I classed it as my day off,I had been off sick the four days previous,and I worked the saturday.
When she told me what they were investigating,I smiled,she must have thought I had lost it too,she gave me that strange look as if to say,my god is this woman all there? Did I inform her of this no,it is there for her to find on the system.And when she rings to apologise,then will I have my say,there was no point this morning as she was not prepared to listen.
And boy is she in for a shock.
Happy friday after all

Well here it is 'The Day' another couple of hours and I will know if I am to join the ranks of the unemployed.It doesn`t worry me being unemployed,there are other jobs out there,it will make things tough for a while,but hey,when is it not,Its the indignity of being sacked/fired/dismissed,whatever handle you want to put on it.I have never in my whole working life been fired from a job!And to know that it is because of someone elses dishonesty and because I did not fill in a piece of paper makes it even worse.My main problem is that I know I am bound to say something which is going to make it worse,honesty has its drawbacks,I have never been able to come to terms with the paper before people policy of this firm.They say they are customer orientated ( can I have that in triplicate please) yet when you concentrate on the customer you are in trouble for not doing the paperwork,sheesh make up your minds.And it isn`t like I didn`t do the paperwork,just that one that I forgot because I was concentrating on trying to flush out a thief!And lets face it when it comes down to it,it is thier money that she is taking.My problem was in believeing at the beginning that it was just mistakes on the part of someone that was,to put it as nice as possible,a little bit stupid! Turns out I was the stupid one for trying to be a good manager and giving her the benifit of the doubt.Now there is no doubt about what she was doing,but it is too late,and I cant prove it was her.
So off into the lions den at 9 am,I wonder how Daniel felt??
