I think you’re missing the point I was trying to make.

Update So, the first meeting was the investigation, held by my direct line manager. It would be up to the investigating manager if it should Be put forward for further investigation ( you could say their mind was made up already considering the conversations we had had previously ) anyway...

This was my plan back in March, but due to covid I put plans on hold. Looking to go back to my plan in the new financial year

This isn’t a case of contracts though, just rights... moral or legal/ acas? I don’t know, but since someone said there could be more to this has got me thinking. We have a trade union, but I’m not a member. 2 reasons, It’s frowned upon for management to be part of the union. Also I’m lucky...

I guess the main issue is working nights, getting there with a lift would have been doable, but getting Home would have been an issue. My biggest problem is not the fact Of getting there and back, but I would have had to work a night shift without any sleep prior, the go home and sort a hire...

Have breakdown cover, and they do provide onward cover and a courtesy car in The event of an accident, but not because of mechanical repair unfortunately. Luckily, when I had an issue previously with the car, I was working on days at the time so manage to work and sort out transport/ buses or...

I’m not in the union unfortunately, but I’m Lucky in the fact I have a very good relationship with quite a few people higher up in company. In terms of size, huge.

Unfortunately not, only a small garage and have 1 courtesy car. They would have provided me this on day the work was done only.

Appreciate it. But the shift was covered, and in terms of excuse. I provided more then enough proof of what had happened.

Everything was out of my control I believe, so think your assessment is harsh. Tried to give them as much notice, and have tried to do everything to get a hire car that day to no avail. But appreciate the feedback all the same

Not Quite, one of the issues on the car was under warranty, so needed to go to same Garage I had the work done at previously.

Not really, I don’t live local to where I work. About 15 miles from my home. And most colleagues are local and don’t drive My main issue really is the fact I wouldn’t have had a chance to sort out getting a hire car, or getting my car fixed without basically having no sleep the day after my...

Tell me about it! 😂😂 He’s in a new job now, and quit before the sacked him.

5 years, always flexible In the past, come in last minute to cover sickness, overtime etc. No issues in the past with relationship or anything, so was shocked to see their stance on it really.

Sorry, I didn’t make it clear. I wasn’t able to pick up a hire car until the next day. When I tried, there was nothing available, and had to pick up from 9am the next day. And when I did get there, after booking and paying for a car from 9am, there wasn’t a car ready for me, so had to wait until...

I’m actually management level, we normally run with 1 manager per night. This night there was me and another manager scheduled. I’d say 5 nights out of 7, we have 1 manager. This was one of our least busy nights and wouldn’t have required 2, it’s just how the schedules fell that week.

I work in retail, and just under 30k
