[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1393230, member: 278312"] Off-the-cuff response - sound to me as if you are being used as a "scapegoat" here - I'm guessing because they've maybe received a complaint from a client about a service failure of some kind - but that[B] is[/B] a guess. [B]Don't let them make you the scapegoat[/B] - their own systems have to be examined here, because they've used and abused your goodwill over the past 9 months. Turn those around & challenge them about their excessive work schedules, lack of staff, and failure to support you, despite you making them aware of the problems. Also (forgive me assumptions here) as a charity, they may not be all that familiar with employment law & handling disciplinary matters, and you could end up being railroaded just because of their inexperience. I still say, stand up for yourself & fight. Think about it - If you let this go, will you end up hating yourself, feeling resentment, and looking back on it feeling less confident about yourself and your own worth - isn't that something valuable to fight for. What does: "serious acts or omissions on the part of the employee which compromise the integrity of the organisation or bring it into disrepute financially or contractually will be dealt with as Gross Misconduct" - mean? In plain English? What - exactly - did you[I] do[/I], or [I]fail to do[/I], that is a 'serious act' or an 'omission' [I]how[/I] did it 'compromise the integrity of the organisation' [I]how[/I] did it 'bring it (the org) into disrepute financially or contractually' ? See what I mean? You don't know (or don't say) exactly what charge you are facing - what did you DO ? Actually, I don't need to know here in this open forum - but [B]you[/B] need to know, for when you go into the disciplinary hearing. It sounds to me as if it just might be a re-play of the investigation meeting. If the same people are sitting on the discipline panel, as sat on the investigation panel, then that in itself is an injustice - because then they become judge and jury - not fair. [/QUOTE]
