hey guys dont know if this is the right place to ask about this but here goes...

i was recently dismised from work for gross misconduct. i had a diciplinary meeting and was told i could take a representitive with me but couldnt get one. i am going to appeal the decision and really want to take a rep this time round but have no idea who i can take. im not in a union so have no idea who to ask.

Something involving lube no doubt.

your rep can't really do anything, except witness the meeting took place.

What did you do?

Take a monkey, its a little known loophole that a monkey is the only way out of these situations. This is how Micheal Jackson was abble to get off the kiddy porn charges.

And remember to use the Chewbacca Defense. If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!

I have checked with my monkey lawyer and this is also sound advice...

thanks i'll keep these ideas in mind......

i basicly followed an istruction form my manager without thinking what i was doing and took part i fraudulent returns and falsifiang company documents. i admit that i should have done somthing about the returns but ive never been in a situation like it before and as far as the falsifing compant documents goes, i acctually filled in the form correctly and my manager told me to change it.

is the manager still working there? if so sounds like you have been made a scapegoat.

dont know if she still works there, i assume she got fired aswell because she put false sales through to hit target and took money out the safe to pay for thes "sales" and the person in the postion below mine did exactly the same but hasnt even been questioned about it wich leads me to beleive they were gona try anything to get me sacked

Take the manager in with you then pass the blame onto him.

You're a bit of an idiot then eh?

The Nazi's were only following orders as well you know......

Normally either another employee or legal representation.

edit - not your mum.

Just as you followed orders when you were instructed how to live, who to hate, which language to learn, where to get your education and to 'click on this link to activate your registration'.

Humans do as other humans do, it's life. You drill money, loyalty and time into government organisations that kill innocent people. Do I compare you to a Nazi too?

Prosecuting someone for following orders whilst quoting a period in history you were never involved in, but have been told to despise by our society is so ironic it almost hurts.
