Pet Hates at Work

It's not unheard of for people to be allowed to go for promotion, just to get rid of them.
Another reason why the worst staff can end up on more dosh.

TiredOfLife - that wasnt you was it? OJ

Bollocks, dropped myself right in it.
Bit low using my own words against me.

Oh dear, Stu. I hope it all ends OK after today. As you say, there is nothing you could have done regarding the floods, and no one can foresee car trouble or do much when it happens.

And if two line managers witnessed you actually setting up the backup then you have proof you did it.

Im on my last written warning, im saving it, .

Nah, first 2 were when i was an apprentice (over 10 years ago, i was young and stupid). Myself and 2 other apprentices, had to go to night college, and as i drove i was nominated to take them to. Anyway, We would get to college, and they would say to me "its sunny lets go home", after 10 mins of bagering, i would give in. As the oldest I was supposed to be more responable, lol.

Fun times, fun times,

Damn, sorry to hear, I have never been fired to. Even though I dont need to, I do try to do everything to cover myself. Which is sad in this day and age.

Lets hope you find another job that you love. Im not sure what I would do if I lost my current job, as there is no call for Electronics Engineers (repairs).

That sucks man. Surely they must see reason? Obviously not - your better off out of it by the sounds of things.

[TiredOfLife]

Bloody hell, that's very harsh.
Is there no one you can appeal to?

[Teho]

Holy.. That's just not right at all, by the sound of it! There has to be something you can do about that, right?

[Harrison]

So sorry to hear that mate. Had they given you any written warnings before this? Or was this out of the blue? By law you can appeal against this if you feel you have wrongly been sacked. I know how pleased you were when you got this job too.

Hope you manage to find something else quickly. I know what it's like to suddenly be without work. I was made redundant suddenly from a design job years ago that I loved because the company went bankrupt. You just have to force yourself to start looking for another job the next day. Leave it too long and it becomes harder.
