Physical assault at work

OP have the company not let you know the result of the disciplinary from yesterday? Sound like an absolute shower of st. They’ve got their little coven and are protecting one of their own. I take it there are few men working there.

No update at all.

There are equal men and women. But all senior and management positions are women. And the group of women there are very 'close'.

New job starts a week monday.

I will be telling the police tomorrow to just keep the issue logged.

I officially finish the current job early next week. I will be able to fully move on when that is done and dusted.

Just call in sick and relax for a couple of days?

Yes, its looking like that. Its only part time anyway so only due in today then some half days next week.

Just to add to the lack of letting me know, all management staff were in yesterday so that is no excuse.

I have just had to visit work to pick up a letter relating to my issue.

Basically, they are covering their backs in a big way. They state they have done all they could to stop us working together. They have conveniently missed out the bits that state what happened after the slap (as in the manager didn't ask the woman to leave).

They have stated they are taking formal action against the woman but can't tell me what.

Despite me stating in my resignation letter I am leaving because I dont feel safe, they have said I am leaving because I'm pursuing better hours. They don't want me to go.

What a disappointment eh.

Companies really do protect their own.

I'm a bit annoyed to be honest.

But presumably you had already applied for the full time job before all this took place so they are right when they say you are leaving for a job with longer hours.

You would have left anyway even if slappergate hadn't happened.

Or would you have turned the new job down and stayed ?

[funkyrobot]

Well, at least they have admitted they asked me if it was ok to work with the woman. That is in the letter.

Oh well, time to move on eh.

Multitasking that's the secret

Ok. Have had a read through disciplinary procedure. This is the key line for me:

'In all gross misconduct cases, dismissal will be without notice or payment in lieu of notice.'

Doesn't that mean the woman should now be sacked?

The company deems 'any act or attempted act of violence' as something they can terminate your employment for.

Can isn't the same as "will" and whilst I accept that's your interpretation, you'll find that most of the time disciplinary procedures exist to give the company a good excuse to get rid of someone they don't like. I've seen plenty of people do things that should have been a sackable offence, but they got away with it because they're chatty and popular.

2 posts, one month? You should be a bit more careful with your new profile

Funky is legit, I bumped into him in the middle of nowhere and got chatting thanks to a PH cycling top.

I was thinking the same. You know the OP is having a tough time.

I think both are fine in UK and Australian English usage.
There is no formal rule book and it is a constantly evolving language.

Caveat: I don't have an OED to hand.

Just because FR is a real person, doesn’t mean he isn’t full of st.

Bullstters and attention seekers live and breed among our society like any other normal person.

If anyone, after reading all his other threads, still believes anything this member says, then they must be mad.

I have been drawn in to some of his other topics in the past and look back with shame that I believed him.

Read his other topics, thoroughly, and make your own decision.

I have, I've also formed an opinion on you
