Shocking. I'll have to try and dig this one up.

Glad all turned out ok in the end

Great news mate.What happened about the managers outright lie?

bainbridge · 7 Jan 2011 at 23:49

Good stuff, now you have some experience to help you deal with future disciplinaries!

NvidiaDan · 7 Jan 2011 at 23:58

Where do you work out of interest?

Edinho · 8 Jan 2011 at 02:08

So they put a commonly used button next to the panic alarm under the till. They sound like complete retards tbh, not obvious much that it would get pressed by mistake. You handled it well I'd have to told em to FO tbqfh.

Retail is worst industry on the planet to work in, glad I got out. Full of morons.

Nice result bud, I dragged mine for 8 months on full pay and in the end got a nice sum just to drop it and leave as I questioned everything and recorded all meetings then went back to college

Question everything? Doesn't sound like you Dave

OP - Glad it's all worked out for you

Result

They probably went through the disciplinary as a way of documenting what happened so it's on file

Not all of them... some of the people I worked with were a laugh, but there was also the odd moron also, so I'll give you that!

Also, my other friend only got a written, for leaving the engine running whilst making a home delivery drop and his van got nicked by three tramps.

That would get me dismissed on the spot!

OP, Good luck with it, and I hope you follow the advice (well, some of it!) in this thread.

Afterwards, I hope you seek a better job with a better employer.

Edit: Glad it went ok for you. - I must read all of the thread....

It would get any of our employees dismissed also. Leaving a PCV unattended with the Engine running is illegal. I would expect the same is true of HGV.

AFAIK it is of any motor engined vehicle, but would have to check.

Good news. I'm glad it went your way.
